Why Choose Hullchal?

Choose Hullchal when you want the space of a catamaran and the experience of sailing, with much less heel than a traditional monohull.  Her wide beam creates more usable space for your group to move around, eat, talk, and spend the day comfortably together.

Her catamaran layout gives you several places to gather rather than putting everyone into one cockpit. The covered aft cockpit has seating around the table, the bright salon is just steps away on the same level, and the forward deck gives guests another place to stretch out and enjoy the Bay. People can move between the spaces without feeling separated from the rest of the group.

Hullchal also sails with much less heel than a traditional monohull. That makes walking around the boat easier and can be especially appealing when your group includes first-time sailors or people who want the sailing experience without spending the afternoon hanging sideways.

She is a particularly good fit for birthdays, family and friend gatherings, and team offsites where some people may want to sit around the table and talk while others head forward to the deck.

If what you want most is the classic feeling of a monohull under sail, one of our sailing yachts may suit you better. If you like Hullchal’s catamaran space but would rather cruise under power, take a look at Astra.

Frequently Asked Questions

Once you book your boat, we will provide you with choices of approved captains you choose for your charter. The captain  fees are estimated between $350-$450 for a 4-hour charter. Captain and crew are paid directly by you. They set their rate for the charter. If you rent a catamaran, large power yacht or hvea group of 12 on board, the captain will bring along a crew member to help. An additional crew member costs about $145 in addition to the captain fee.

You decide on the itinerary. You can sail to the Golden Gate, City front, Sausalito, Angel Island or to any of the iconic sites or places on the Bay. When you get on board, you and your captain will discuss the places you’d like to sail. If you want to change destination while you’re out on the Bay, that’s never a problem.

All of our boats are equipped with sound systems and are Bluetooth capable. We recommend bringing an AUX cable just in case along with your Smartphone for your personal music experience onboard.

You can bring your own catering or food and any alcohol for your boating event except for red wine, as it can stain the fiberglass surfaces if spilled. Our boats are stocked with paper and plastic cups, paper plates, serving utensils and a wine opener.

A catamaran is much wider and sails with less heel than a traditional monohull. On Hullchal, that wider platform creates more usable gathering space and makes it easier to move between the cockpit, salon, and deck while underway.

If the traditional sailing sensation, including the boat leaning as it powers through the wind, is part of what you are looking for, one of our monohull sailing yachts may be the better choice.

Three hours gives you a sailing experience on San Francisco Bay, but four hours gives you more time aboard for the fuller Bay experience, including the opportunity to sail under the Golden Gate Bridge. It also gives you more flexibility to shape the route around the wind, tide, and places you would like to see without making the day feel rushed.

Your captain will help plan the route based on conditions and what your group would most like to do.
