To give you a better idea of what you will see and enjoy when you cruise Oakland Estuary, here are some words from Captain Larry:
There is a secret world to explore right in our Bay. It is unique unto itself. And you can only see it by boat.

You never know what you are going to find. There are days that you enter the Oakland Estuary to face an oncoming container ship. One of the largest moving objects known to mankind is heading for you. Unlike Disneyland, everything is real.

As you continue forward you pass the floating dry docks and container facilities. These facilities store hundreds of thousands of containers ready to go out to sea as well as those that have recently come over the oceans to the United States.

And, there is the inspiration for part of the Star Wars set, the giant cranes of the Harbor. Rumor has it that these cranes gave shape to George Lucas’ vision of the AT-AT Walkers.

As you continue traveling along the estuary on there are huge metal recycling plants. There are floating dry docks with ships being repaired. During the right time of year, you may find yourself in the middle of dragon boat races.

Further in you come across the splendor of Jack London Square with all of its fine restaurants and unique venues. As you pass by you may see a giant party out on the square with music, dancing, and plenty of food. And everyone wants to say “Hi.”

Past that are the floating house boats of Oakland and Alameda and the long docks beyond.
Before we turn around and head back out to the Bay, we near the Coast Guard Island with its various ships to sail around the world.
