The membership has started getting younger due to an influx of SF residents up north, which will be great for the overall atmosphere! The Membership Committee is very welcoming, which is not the typical experience at a private club of this level. You don't need a boat to join, and there's no need: you will be readily invited on all types of sailing and yachting adventures with other members who do have one. They've done some recent renovations and harbor improvements which really add to the elegance of the historic neoclassical building. It's both nestled in bustling downtown and also serene enough for dolphin watching on quiet afternoons.

After getting out of the ferry, there was a line where we were be driven in trams to the observation area. Because we had brought a cart, one of the park employees brought it up on a van instead. The island is beautiful, historical, clean and makes me want to visit again. Once we were in the area, it provided a view of the fireworks in Sausalito, the Golden Gate Bridge and the random areas within the city with fireworks. Although the colorful fog was more visible than the fireworks itself, just the experience of celebrating Independence Day as well as a birthday was worth it. We had a chance to watch and listen to a canon get fired, we got free neon lights, watched civil war soldiers, listened to the star spangled banner played by a small band. There was a small concession stand that sold sodas, coffee, hotdogs, cake, wine and brownies. Overall a fun experience, I would come back to explore the other parts of the island.

If you are anywhere near the Bay Area, Angel Island State Park is absolutely worth the trip. The…read morescenery alone makes it a great escape, but the Immigration Station is what really makes this place special. The island is peaceful and not overly crowded. You get incredible views of the San Francisco skyline, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the surrounding bay. It is a great spot for hiking, biking, or just relaxing by the water. The highlight for me was the Immigration Station. Walking through the barracks and reading the poems carved into the walls is powerful. It gives you a deeper appreciation for the history and the experiences of those who passed through. It is not something to rush through. Take your time and really take it in. Try to go earlier in the day so you have enough time to explore both the trails and the station. Also check the ferry schedule ahead of time so you are not cutting your visit short. Overall, it is a great mix of nature and history. Beautiful, meaningful, and definitely worth visiting.

Previously, we took the Freda B on the Wildlife Morning Sail in 2024, which was also fantastic. What makes the Freda B special is the crew. The vessel itself is gorgeous--even the "head" is great! From the moment you board and are greeted by the crew, you know you're in good hands. The safety instructions are thorough, and the crew immediately puts you at ease before setting off. Whether you have a clear night or a little fog (like tonight), the skies are beautiful, the Golden Gate Bridge is magical, and San Francisco twinkles in the distance. The crew meets your every need with kindness, excellent service, and genuine interest in you as a passenger. They're also an interesting bunch--just ask them about themselves! Hot (chocolate!) and cold beverages are available for purchase, including adult beverages. For out of towners...Wear and bring layers. Jacket + sweater/fleece, long pants, beanie hat, gloves if you have them. Blankets available onboard. This is SF Bay 12 months a year - always chilly and the sail is worth every layer of clothing.

My husband bought the tickets online to the ferry that would bring us to Angel Island where we can watch the fireworks. Luckily public parking was half a mile from the ferry, we brought a cart to put in our chairs, blankets, snacks and pizza that we got from one of the nearby businesses. The crew was nice, helpful and efficient especially when loading the ferry with customers and holding people and ancillary staff. They were very accommodating with people needing assistance with their canes, walkers, and other passengers were kind enough to help accommodate those who needed seating most. Great experience, quick trip to the island, and we had fun with the kids.

They have blankets on board but don't underestimate that ocean breeze when you're on open water. Each time they have done a different route so it continues to be new eating h time I go.

Captain and crew were all friendly and welcoming and the naturalist was informative and excited to share her vast knowledge and experience. The crew intentionally included young people on board with raising the sails and such. Fun for them, and honestly fun for us to watch them learn through hands on experience. They serve up lots of beverage options during the trip, both with and sans alcohol. We went in early September and the weather was absolutely perfect. A bit chilly at first, which is to be expected, although we were able to shed a layer about halfway through. In addition to the overall gorgeousness of the Bay, we also saw lots of wildlife, mostly birds and harbour porpoises. The docking location is perfect, with nearby public parking, and lots of restaurant options if you plan to grab a bite to eat before or after your excursion. This is definitely a fun experience for both locals and visitors and something we will happily book again.

Unfortunately, the restaurant is at sea level so diners must look through the yachts to enjoy the view. The second floor dining room view that the Golden Gate Club offers is more captivating. The indoor dining room is elegantly appointed with sailing photos and some excellent paintings on the walls. There is a magnificently hand-sewn quilt depicting sailing scenes from the area and I feel it is a big mistake to have relegated this masterpiece to the ladies' powder. The porch dining is casual and lots of shade is provided. The food and drinks were very good. There are some rather original items on the menu, for example, tacos topped with fried eggs!! The burrata was quite good but not the best I have had. The interior of the mozzarella was not as creamy as it should be. Portions are ample and the bread basket contained a variety of tasty baked items . The butter was served in little balls which is a nice touch. Parking is convenient and the lot is spacious. I cannot comment on cost as we were guests and no check appeared on the table. I was disappointed to have read Phoebe's post that the venue refuses reciprocity. Shame on them if that is true.

A first-class sailing experience with Captain Doug…read more We booked Taihoa for a group of four and couldn't recommend it more highly. From the first email months out, Captain Doug was a fantastic communicator. Our original plan (a friend's 40th) changed, and he graciously converted our booking into a certificate without any hassle -- that flexibility set the tone for the whole experience. Taihoa herself is something special. Doug took real time before we cast off to walk us through her history and design -- a hand-built 1940s wooden classic -- and it gave the whole day a depth you don't get on a standard charter. Once we were underway, he even let us help sail her out of the harbor and into the bay, which was genuinely the highlight for us. We had a beautiful day of sun and wind, plenty of room for four, and at no point did we feel anything but safe and well looked after. If you love sailing -- or just want a memorable day on the water -- book with Doug. (And bring sunscreen!)

Since Tiburon is home to a ferry station and two sailing clubs, you can see ferries motoring to San Francisco and Angel Island leaving rippling waves behind them and sailboats gliding along the water. The park and the walking path stretches from Main Street Tiburon to Elephant Rock. The Railroad & Ferry Depot museum is halfway between. The walking path is all cement; smooth and flat. There are no public restrooms along path. The museum has limited hours and admission is $5. But it is a worthwhile stop since they have historical information boards outside the building.
