We are your one-stop-shop for all wedding events! There is nothing like a shared experience to draw people close together.

Spend quality time with those who traveled far, your wedding party, and your families. Everyone will get an opportunity to cut loose, mingle, and get to know the key players in your big day for less than it would cost you to dine out at a restaurant.

    I've hosted two corporate events already with Bay Light Charters and they never disappoint. Easy communication, great staff and food. Our teams rave about their experience and are always grateful to get outside and sail the beautiful bay.

    Thank you so much! It means a lot to us that you’ve chosen Bay Lights Charters for your team twice, and we’re thrilled to hear that both experiences have been such a hit. There’s something pretty special about getting out of the office and onto San Francisco Bay together! We truly appreciate your kind words about our crew, food, and communication, and we hope to welcome your team aboard again for round three!

    We had the most incredible time on the Gas light! This is not our 2nd or 3rd time hosting a tour with Bay Lights Charters. A classic SF day of fog but the skyline shone through! The coffee was hot, and they had blankets and hats to keep us extra warm! The crew was delightful and helpful, and we felt safe and cozy the whole way through! We invited some city experts to host a guided tour, and the crew was extremely helpful in navigating around the waterfront, and ensured that we were able to see all of our areas of discussion!

    Thank you so much for sailing with us again! It is always such a pleasure to welcome returning guests aboard Gas Light. Even on a classic foggy San Francisco day, there is something pretty magical about seeing the skyline emerge from the fog—with a hot cup of coffee and a cozy blanket in hand! We’re especially happy to hear that our crew was able to work with your guides to make sure you reached all of the areas you wanted to discuss along the waterfront. Thank you for trusting us with your group again. We truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you aboard for many more adventures on the Bay!

    Very relaxing trip around the bay!

    Bay Lights Charters•Sep 18, 2026

    Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had such a great time sailing with us. It was a pleasure having you aboard Gas Light, and we hope to welcome you back out on the Bay again soon!

You have many options on where to board. Here is a small sample: 1. South Beach Harbor in San Francisco, a short distance from Giants Stadium. Meeting Location – We will meet at the benches at pier 40/ South Beach Harbor at the parking lot. 2 Marina Village in Alameda 3. Sausalito 4.Marina Bay Yacht Harbor in Richmond.
GAS LIGHT doesn’t “heel,” meaning she sails almost level with the waterline. Scow Schooners were designed this way in the 1800s to carry heavy cargo, so they characteristically remain level. It is very rare to experience seasickness on our vessel. One comment we hear nearly every cruise is how flat and stable GAS LIGHT feels under sail.
Typically windy – which makes for nice sailing! And also can be cool. If you’re a Bay Area resident, plan for 5-10+ degrees cooler than on land, depending on how far inland, and cooler still, after 5 pm.
May, June, July, August, September, October, and November
No, we have a full bar and California Liquor License. Just like you can't bring a beer to a bar, you can't bring your own adult beverages onboard.
Depending on your location you meet the boat. Pier 40 has meeters and paid lots. Marina Bay in Richmond, Alameda, and Sausalito all have free street parking and or a lot.
No, we are a historic yacht that is not wheelchair accessible
January, February, March, April, and December
