Location and Parking

Please plan on arriving early to find parking and the boat.

"Schooner Freda B" is searchable on Google/Apple Maps. That is the location for boarding in Sausalito, and Uber/Lyft can drop off there.

For parking, we recommend the municipal lots surrounding Sausalito Yacht Harbor. Parking cost is per hour, and Parking Lot #3 (searchable on Maps) usually has the most space. "Sausalito Books by the Bay" at 100 Bay Street is a central address for parking.

For the closest parking, take a right at 100 Bay Street and park in spaces 1113-1159 (within "Tour Bus Parking Lot").

Once parked, walk north towards The Spinnaker restaurant. You'll soon come across a wooden boardwalk that leads to our dock (Slip 465). Look for the two red masts!

If you are lost, search "Schooner Freda B" on any Maps app. Or, see your ticket confirmation for the "boat phone" number to call.
