6 reviews for Mission Creek Sail Tours
Greg and Cathy run a great business! While it has been a long time since I went on their sail boat (a surprise birthday present from my GF), I had to write a review once I found them on Yelp!
Not only are Greg and Cathy super nice and fun to hang with, they are really knowledgeable. I learned a lot about sailing, a subject I have very little experience in.
The boat was clean and big, and we were even able to bring lunch and some wine on board. Of course, Greg and Cathy also offer you some snacks and wine if you would like, but we had brought our own.
Stepping off of the boat, my GF dropped her phone into the bay, while this was definitely not good, we were having so much fun we just carried on. Greg and Cathy even bought us a round at the club where their sailboat docks! What a day!
Greg and Cathy were great hosts for our day on the Bay. Besides taking us on a fact-filled tour of the bay, they prepared a great meal and had cold bevvies in the cooler for all of us.
At the end of the day, we relaxed on dry land with the captains and a couple of cold ones. By the end of the afternoon we had figured out a few more trips to take later this year. We will definitely be back.
Where to start? I guess the best place is to say that my wife Cathy and I run Mission Creek Sail Tours. What started out in 1996 as a weekend distraction has turned into a passion and a way-of-life. We invite you to share it with us.
San Francisco is a truly unique and beautiful city and the Bay is its centerpiece. There really is no better way to experience the City than from the water on a private sailboat and there is definitely something for everyone; from the novice who has never sailed before to the offshore racer or bluewater cruiser. MCST and San Francisco Bay will deliver an adventure you'll always remember.
We offer 4- and 6-hour Bay tours, sunset sails, wine tasting cruises, corporate team-building and can custom-tailor a charter to your wishes. Special events like the KFOG Kaboom in May and Fleet Week in October are incredible when viewed from a front-row position on the water.

Fair winds & following seas.
Cheers,
Capt. Greg

Yelp has a policy to remove reviews that are deemed "untrustworthy" and they don't state what that means. I can understand the need to filter out bogus reviews that are posted to build up or trash a business but there needs to be some intelligent way of identifying them.
Here are links to just some of the "untrustworthy" reviews of my business that have been arbitrarily dropped by Yelp:

Super Fun!
5 of us sailed with Greg and Cathy yesterday. They are a fun couple with lots of sailing skill and knowledge. Both were incredibly hospitable - whatever we needed, how ever fast we wanted to go (we were in for the real deal and lots of speed), they were on it and did all of the heavy lifting so that we could just relax and enjoy the unique views of the bay and bridges.
We also liked that Greg takes credit cards and has little things like clips for your hats and things for motion sickness.
If we don't buy a boat (we caught the bug again) we will certainly be back on the boat with these folks again.
I have never been on a sailboat before, or a boat in the SF bay at all.
It was by far the best way to see the bay area. I have lived here my whole life, yet have never seen it from this perspective. Beautiful views and great times. You get a lot of amazing pics from the boat as well!
Crew is amazing. Greg and Cathy were fun and friendly and made me and my friends feel safe and secure, even though it was all of our first time on a sailboat. They took us on a great route and we all had a blast!
Great day, great trip, highly recommended. Set Sail!!
My sister and niece were in town for a visit and we wanted to do something special so we booked a Mission Creek Sail Tour. Captain Greg met the three of us at the dock and took us for a three hour sail. It was like being on our own little private yacht. We went out on a Monday so we practically had the bay to ourselves. He even gave my niece, age 13, an opportunity to "steer the boat." Provisions - an antipasti plate, beer, wine, non-alcoholic drinks - were set out for us once we got to calm water. Wonderful!
