Hey Nolan-- The amount of time in the water and location covered is fairly minimal. The tour exits the water at the same dock you enter, and you don't go that far at all, just around two big parked ships and back, in the area just south of McCovey Cove (Mission Bay to China Basin, I believe). Neat, but not much bay is Duck-boated. If you want a tour of the bay, one of the Blue and Gold tours would be better, although I don't think any of them go south of the Bay Bridge, just mainly out around Alcatraz, Angel Island and under the Golden Gate bridge. ~Jessica

Where does the boat/car get back onto land? How far do you go in the water? In Boston we did a little mini-lap through the Charles but I was really hoping for a comprehensive tour of the harbor.

With my parents coming to visit for 10 whole days and me in a tiny apartment, I think this will very quickly become my favourite, must-read column. Yay Jessica!

Oh man, I'm sooo jealous! I loved the similar ride that's been going on for 5-6 years in Seattle, and was quite happy to find out that SF has a similar version. But I've not had the pleasure of trying it out yet. Thanks for the review!
