Alcatraz City Cruises

Alcatraz City Cruises operates out of Pier 33, a site that serves as the exclusive gateway for the millions of visitors traveling to the island each year. As the official concessioner for the National Park Service, this company manages the only authorized ferry service allowed to land on the island's docks. Their role transforms the short fifteen-minute transit across the bay into the beginning of a journey into the island's layered past. The company has integrated modern environmental technology into this historic route by introducing the first hybrid ferry fleet in the United States, which utilizes a combination of solar, wind, and low-emission power to navigate the waters of the San Francisco Bay.
