There's no shortage of fancy vessels willing to take you out on a little water trip, but it'll cost you: A real cruise generally runs around $35 per person. But should you schedule a trip on one of the local commuter ferries -- which are, after all, intended to be used as general transportation rather than as pleasure cruises -- you'll find that these smaller, slightly shabbier ships offer the same magnificent views and bracing sea breezes for a heck of a lot less. Round-trip fares to spots like Sausalito and Larkspur run a mere $10 to $12, and many of the commuter ships have on-board lounges/snack bars at which you can pick up a cocktail and some nibbles to take out onto the deck and enjoy as you watch the world go by. And hey, you don't have to tell a soul you're not really on your way home from work.
