Are there any large ship tours around the San Francisco Bay Area?
I will be in the Bay Area for July 22, 23, 24.
I have a really big interest in large container ships and tanker ships.
I learned that there is a tour of the Port of Oakland, but to my dismay, there is not one taking place during the dates I will be there.
Are there any other tours or experiences for someone who just want to see/experience large ships around the ports of the bay area?

I'm sure you can hire a boat (and a driver if needed) for a private tour if there's nothng else.

Not exactly what you're looking for but you can tour FDR's "floating white house", the USS Potemac. See here: usspotomac.org/events/dockside.php

I didn't think the question was necessarily about going on board such a ship, but maybe just looking at them - either up close or from a distance.

The question seem fairly clear 'large ship tours' suggests tours of the ships. Just seeing the ships would be harbor/terminal tour.

@pnuts No. Op could just mean a tour that get's near the ship, but maybe not. I was just answering a plausible scenario.

I'm sure you can hire a boat (and a driver if needed) for a private tour if there's nothng else.

Not exactly what you're looking for but you can tour FDR's "floating white house", the USS Potemac. See here: usspotomac.org/events/dockside.php

Since by now you must have taken this trip, any chance you did find something and would like to provide an answer to your own question?

I did not find an answer. But I did take a red and white golden gate cruise, and lucked out and had the container ship "Ever Sigma" flank us the whole voyage.
