Life in San Francisco is hardly better than when you are out on the water enjoying the great weather and beautiful scenery of the bay. And thanks to the team at Boatbound, it's never been easier to rent a boat, round up your crew and spend a day sipping your latest score from Napa while sailing under the Golden Gate bridge, around Angel Island, or over to Sam’s for midday oysters.

Boatbound lets you rent any kind of boat at any price for a day, a weekend or longer. You can choose from powerboats and sailboats of all sizes. Want to relax and focus on celebrating that big Series A raise or debating the merits of Pied Piper’s latest release? Grab a boat with a captain and let someone else plot the course.

While this might sound like a website for millionaires, Boatbound makes it easy for you to live your post-acquisition fantasy while you’re still on your incubator salary.

So get ready folks! Here's our list of the best boat rentals in San Francisco:


28 Foot Monterey Boat Rental
A great boat rental starts with a great owner. When reviewers note that the owner showed up with ice and offered the leftover beer in the fridge, you know you’ve picked the right boat for a day on the bay.
