While in SanFrancisco we wanted to take a ferry to Sausalito. The BLUE AND GOLD FLEET takes you there. It is located at Pier 41, Fisherman's Wharf. The prices are $7.25 per person one way and $14.50 per person return. It was an awesome ride to Sausalito as you pass Alcatraz and you have beautiful views of Golden Gate Bridge. Leave a Comment

The ferries here in the bay area are one of my favorite ways to get around. They will take you to some of the islands and to a couple of different places in Marin County as well.
As a cheap way to get a tour of the bay I come out here and just relax.
I believe they also have some that go to and from Oakland and Emeryville. But have not used those yet. Leave a Comment

 Larkspur Ferry, San Francisco
Bay, CA by karenincaliforniaLeave a Comment

You will have several choices of tours on a boat around the bay. This shot shows a cruise boat under the Golden Gate Bridge.
Bay area citizens used to have to depend on ferry boats to get across the bay, now we have the bridges. You can find ferry boats from Vallejo, San Rafael and Oakland that go into San Francisco at Pier 41. Prices differ, but it isn't that expensive.
Tops on the list would be the Alcatraz Tour our to Alcatra Island and the Bay Cruise that goes under the Golden Gate Bridge.
This is a good way to spend a couple of hours and get some great photo opportunites.
Bring a jacket, as it can get cold.
Buy your tickets left of Pier 39.

Baylink (see www.baylinkferry.com) provides ferry service to Vallejo from the San Francisco Ferry Terminal, an hour long trip that by itself is easily worth $25- round trip as a scenic attraction on the bay. This ferry makes the longest run of any in San Francisco Bay ferry system and so passes by, without stopping at, a larger number of things to be seen: Golden Gate, Richmond, and Carquinez bridges, Alcatraz and Angel Islands, and various other great views only appreciated on this boat ride. But, this commuter run can also be a tourist run to the Napa Valley wine country and to the Six Flags/Marineworld Theme Park. For a full transit style adventure after arrival at the Vallejo Ferry terminal building, take the Vallejo Transit #85 bus (www.vallejotransit.com) to Six Flags/Marineworld. For the Napa Valley Wine Country, take Route 10 bus on Napa County's fixed route VINE transit (www.nctpa.net/vine.cfm). At the Vallejo Ferry terminal is a tourist office that can help with finding the right bus, but they can also assist in finding a wine tour bus or limo service. Although many argue that getting a rental car for the wine country is risky, many of the best wineries are simply not on the tour bus or limo itinerary. However, all the major and many minor rental car agencies are in Vallejo (mostly along Tennessee street in Vallejo) but are a bit far for a walk from the ferry terminal. Even so, the lower cost of renting a car in Vallejo, versus one in San Francisco, will easily justify the taxi fare. Plus, by riding the ferry, one avoids the horrible and often time wasting Bay Area freeway traffic. On the return to SF, the last ferry departs Vallejo at 5:35pm; however, there are 4 "clean-up" buses, one as late as 9:30pm, to take passengers who may have missed the last ferry. See link below for more details. Some ferries also stop at Fisherman's Wharf. Leave a Comment

 The skyline of SF as seen from
the ferry. by Jerelis, 1 more photos
We headed towards Alcatraz, the rock island, which used to be a federal penitentiary until 1963. It's nickname is "The Rock" and is now part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and is only accessible by the Blue & Gold Fleet ferry. But a stop at the island wasn't part of the bay cruise and we only went around it, but it still gave us a good impression of what life would be on such an island.
Finally we headed back. This last part of the cruise provided us some beautiful views at the skyline of the bay financial area, it was lovely. In the mean time the weather remained good and we were surrounded by all kinds of vessels and sailing-boats. A good time to find a nice spoit on the front of the deck, enjoy the scenery and buring sun, before we would be back at Pier 41. Leave a Comment
