Blue & Gold Fleet's Escape From the Rock Cruise is an exciting 90-minute excursion that takes passengers around Alcatraz to view the island from every angle. As the ship sails, passengers are treated to a presentation complete with sound effects and chilling tales of inmates Al Capone, Billy Cook the Killer and Clyde Johnson's daring escape attempt. This historical yet entertaining boat trip does not stop at the island of Alcatraz itself, but it does evoke the days when this iconic maximum-security prison was the most feared institution in the American penal system.

the boat is dirty and rundown, hard to hear the commentary. Nothing special except a boat cruise. Ticket seller told us we can get in line but after purchasing specific time tickets on-line we were told they could not guarantee we would get on the boat! Oh, but they still would accept our tickets another day......

My family took this cruise this weekend. We didn't really take it for the Alcatraz aspect, more for the length of it - an hour and a half combined with the $13 price. This was awesome! They sell snacks and drinks on the cruise. The cruise staff is really super nice and accomodating - they even wished by Dad a happy 70th birthday over their PA system! I'll definitely do this again.

Great tour and entertaining and lots of history. Since the regular Alcatraz tour books up, this is definitely an excellent option - also for folks that won't be able to walk around on the Rock or who have more limited time. I'll recommend this for future visitors.
