While on my trip to San Francisco, I knew I had to visit the town of Sausalito. I had heard many great things about what to do in Sausalito from the fine dining and shops to all the historical features it has to offer. There are 2 companies with ferry services from San Francisco to Sausalito
The Blue and Gold Fleet is quite affordable (about $10 per person!), and departs from Pier 41 in Fisherman’s Wharf (next to Pier 39). The ferry schedule changes from weekday to weekend, (with additional ferry departures on weekends and peak season), so check an up to date schedule before you arrive in San Francisco.
Sausalito Ferry from San Francisco
The other company is Golden Gate Ferries, which operates from the Ferry Building near downtown San Francisco. You can buy one-way tickets with either company so you can enjoy both of the slightly different routes if you like.
After hopping onboard the Sausalito Ferry at Pier 41, I walked around the boat and was able to capture some magnificent photos of the San Francisco skyline, Bay Bridge, Alcatraz and the Golden Gate Bridge on our way to Sausalito.
The ferry itself was very clean and had accessible restroom facilities on both the indoor and outdoor decks. It began to get a bit chilly outside so I decided to venture indoors and downstairs where I was able to grab a cup of hot chocolate and enjoy views from all around as I was whisked away on this very comfortable and relaxing experience. This Sausalito Ferry experience was convenient and was recommended to all my family and friends visiting San Francisco!
