Stroll the 'Docks of the Bay'
where wooden boats and historic vessels lead the way!
Enjoy a relaxing afternoon of storytelling woven
together with art, philosophy, music, dance and song. Salty waterfront
tales told through the eyes of insider, Victoria Colella, a local
Sausalito artist, and author of the Sausalito Wooden Boat Tour guide book.
Discover
the floating works of art inside Sausalito's infamous house boat communities.
Sausalito, the first town north over the Golden Gate Bridge, has a rich and varied nautical history. Take the world class ferry boat ride from San Francisco, California
to Sausalito where you will pass Alcatraz Island, Angle Island
and the Golden Gate Bridge.
The tour begins overlooking Richardson's Bay and Mount Tamalpias as your
guide gives a brief overview of Sausalito's nautical history.
Understand how wooden boat building has influenced the development of
the town. The oldest surviving wooden hulled ferryboat on the West
coast is first on the route. As we move from dock to dock you will hear a
complete explanation of how these communities evolved. Permission to be
creative and expressive is the order of the day, so don't be surprised
if you find yourself dancing about and reciting Bohemian philosophies!
