75th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge


Here at Commodore we are getting ready to celebrate the 75th Anniversary of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Our Bay Area dinner cruises would not be the same without the view of San Francisco's most recognizable landmark.  We plan to honor the bridge with a public yacht party that includes white glove service and a gourmet dinner.  Our on renowned DJ will provide all your dining and dancing music for the evening.  You will have the best seat in the Bay to view the bridge and the city skyline.   At 9:30PM our Captain will be nestled in an ideal location on the Bay for all of our guests to view the spectacular fireworks display in honor of the Bridge's Anniversary.  We are also posting on our Pinterest unique ways you can pay tribute to the historic site at your private Commodore Event.

Did you know that construction for the Golden Gate Bridge began January 5, 1933 and was completed for the Grand Opening on May 27, 1937?  The bridge connected the 6,700ft strait between San Francisco and Marin County, which was previously only reached by ferry.  For the opening, 200,000 people crossed the bridge on foot the day before vehicle traffic was allowed.  This same event was recreated May 1987 for the 50th anniversary.  This time it attracted an astounding 1,000,000 people.  An ineffective crowd control allowed 300,000 people on the bridge all at once, causing the center part of the bridge to flatten out under the weight.  Due to this occurrence, bridge officials have stated that this event won't be considered for the 75th anniversary.  So what better way to celebrate the Golden Gate by enjoying its spectacular views from the water with dinner, drinks, and music.  Learn how you can be a part of this momentous occasion by visiting our website at...
