4th of July Fireworks Cruise

When I was a child, every Independence Day, my whole family would gather at my aunt’s house for a barbeque. All the kids would swim and play games during the day, but the real fun came as it started to get dark. We would begin the night by lighting sparklers and mini fireworks in the driveway while our parents loaded the cars with blankets, folding chairs and thermos’s filled with my aunt’s delicious hot chocolate. Then we were off to watch the big time fireworks! Do you know where we watched them from? The REI parking lot right off of highway 101. Expecting something a little more magical maybe? I certainly was.

Fortunately, Blue & Gold Fleet offers the perfect solution for those families seeking out the best place to view fireworks, on the annual 4th of July Fireworks Cruise! Enjoy the show from the best view on the Bay with the gorgeous city skyline as the backdrop. I know that I would have been thrilled as a child to learn that we would not only get to see the fireworks but also get to ride on a BOAT. (Ah the simpler times)... So spend your holiday with us, here at PIER 39, sailing onboard Blue & Gold Fleet.
