Looking for a unique way to enjoy San Francisco’s Fleet Week air show without getting lost in the crowds at Crissy Field or Aquatic Park? For 2024, San Francisco Bay Ferry is offering a special “Richmond Scenic” ferry ride on Saturday, October 12, and Sunday, October 13, that takes you right into the heart of the action—on the water, with spectacular views of the Blue Angels flying above.

Instead of battling the busy shorelines, hop aboard the Richmond Scenic Ferry from the Richmond Ferry Terminal for a front-row seat to Fleet Week’s iconic air show, all while avoiding the hassle of crowded viewing areas. The ferry departs at 3 p.m. and takes you on a leisurely, one-hour route that glides between Angel Island, loops around Alcatraz, and cruises right under the Golden Gate Bridge before arriving in downtown San Francisco at 4 p.m.

This scenic ferry ride offers one of the best ways to see the show, with close-up views of the famous jets zooming (almost) right over you as they perform their awe-inspiring stunts. Typically, boat cruises offering similar Fleet Week experiences cost anywhere from $105 to $185 per person. But at just $4.70 for adults and $2.30 for seniors and youth, this ferry ride is an affordable, family-friendly way to experience the show like never before.
