Tour the San Francisco Bay — and often— with Red and White Fleet pass

——

This one’s for frequent visitors to the San Francisco Bay area. If you like to take to the waters when you’re in town, check out the following deal by the Red and White Fleet, which offers unlimited tours on one of its popular cruises for over a year, if purchased in 2009.

Deal: Buy a Red and White Fleet season pass and board the one-hour Golden Gate Bay Cruise as many times as you like. If you purchase it this year, you get an especially good deal, as the pass is valid from the date you purchase the pass to Dec. 31, 2010. It costs $50 per adult, $30 per child (age 5-17). Without the pass, you’d pay $22 per adult, $16 per child, for a one-time cruise ticket.

Having launched in 1939, the Golden Gate Bay Cruise is a classic tour around the bay, now narrated in 12 languages through headphones. It goes under the Golden Gate Bridge and circuits Alcatraz Island, leaving Pier 43-1/2 eight or more times daily.

Along with the rides, pass benefits include $10 off adult admission and $6 off youth admission on the California Sunset Cruise and SF Explorer Cruise; 20% off snacks and beverages purchased during cruises; 20% off of Red and White Fleet products; and $4 off Golden Gate Bay Cruise companion tickets.

You can book your pass(es) online, over the phone or at the Pier 43-1/2 ticket office.
