Are there any large ship tours around the San Francisco Bay Area?

  • USS Hornet. Designated a National Historic Landmark, the ship also recovered the Apollo 12 capsule and crew and artifacts from its space mission are displayed onboard. www.uss-hornet.org/
  • USS Pampanito. Built in 1943, the sub made six patrols in the Pacific during the war, sinking six Japanese ships and damaging four more. www.maritime.org
  • S.S. Jeremiah O’Brien. The ship, at 441 feet long and 57 feet wide, was originally made to carry cargo. Liberty Ships were built quickly and expected to make just one ocean trip. The O’Brien, however, made several. It first set sail in 1943 and was chosen for restoration in 1966. www.ssjeremiahobrien.org

I would check out whether there are big ship in the area and if so, book a tour with a company that has small boats.
You may have to book the whole of the tour, so the fewer empty seats, the more likely you will not have to pay a fortune.

Best ask the companies for your requested tour before you commit booking a whole boat, there might be one we overlooked.

This site lists a lot of tours in the area.

No, you will not be able to ‘tour’ a container or tanker without a very specific and legitimate, to the owner, reason.

This is because they can’t just let people onboard, insurance, security are major factors.

Some examples of legitimate reasons would be:

  • TV/Film production
  • Journalism
  • Significant Payment*
  • Inspecting your cargo

*Yes, if you are willing to pay enough, the owner will make whatever arrangements necessary.

If you are really interested in such vessels, you can book travel on a container ship. After all the procedures, you have access to most areas of the ship, more when accompanied. Information: Cargo Ship Travel
