Red & White Fleet

Red & White Fleet is the business name for a vessel tour company operating in the San Francisco Bay Area of California.

Red and White Fleet is San Francisco’s original sightseeing provider and has been cruising the Bay since 1892. The family-owned fleet is located at Pier 43 ½ in the heart of Fisherman’s Wharf and offers daily sailings under the Golden Gate Bridge and around Alcatraz narrated in 12 languages. Red and White’s bay tours are a spectacular and convenient way for visitors to discover the City by the Bay.

The company offers a variety of scenic daytime and sunset tours of San Francisco. Red & White Fleet also offers some land based tour packages in concert with other suppliers and offers a number of charter packages, as well.

Tour packages include the Golden Gate Bridge, views of Alcatraz and sunset buffet cruises.

Commuter ferry

In the early 2000s the fleet ran commuter ferry service between the San Francisco Ferry Terminal and the city of Richmond's Richmond Ferry Terminal in the Marina Bay District, however the service was discontinued due to low ridership. This created a large conflict between the Richmond City Council and the R&W Fleet. A vocal opponent of dissolving the service was Green Party mayor Gayle McGlaughlin.[1][2][3]
