RocketBoat, A Blast on the Bay!

The open-air RocketBoat gives visitors a chance to take in the spectacular views of San Francisco Bay and the City skyline in a whole new way- through twists, turns, and spirals.

RocketBoat slowly passes the sea lions, then ignites in a full power charge to the Bay Bridge, zips by AT&T Park - home to the World Champions San Francisco Giants, rounds Treasure Island and then cruises past infamous Alcatraz Island before returning back to homebase at PIER 39.

Passengers will be entertained with a live narration from the captain and crew. These 30- minutes of thrills are enhanced with a classic Rock 'n Roll soundtrack.

RocketBoat features twin 16VM70 engines, each rated at 1410 horsepower and at 2100 rpm. The all-aluminum vessel uses water jets to achieve its top speed. RocketBoat is powered by a mixture of bio-diesel fuel. Rocket Boat will blast-off at 44 knots, giving its 135 passengers an exhilarating rush!  If you want to get wet, sit towards the back. The front and middle seats tend to stay drier.
