Sausalito Ferry
In February 2009 the Society of American Travel Writers ranked Blue & Gold’s Sausalito Ferry ride the #2 most exciting ferry ride in the world! "Crossing San Francisco Bay on a sunny afternoon, with Alcatraz Island and the Golden Gate Bridge to the right, the Berkeley Hills to the left, and that glorious San Francisco skyline looming ahead; all that's missing is a bar of Ghirardelli chocolate and a warm loaf of sourdough bread," wrote Eric Lindberg, a freelance travel writer and photographer with the organization. "Public and private ferry boats provide an inexpensive alternative to cruises, often traversing some of the world's most beautiful harbors, fjords, rivers and waterways at bargain prices," said Bea Broda, the Travel Writers' president. 
“What could be better than that?” asks Mark Prado of our local Marin Independent Journal newspaper. We agree with you 100%, Mark. Let’s all go to Sausalito!
Sausalito offers the charm of a quaint seaside village tucked amongst the hills on the Bay. Step aboard a Blue & Gold Ferry for a smooth, quick ride to this delightful community. Art galleries, shops and gourmet restaurants provide hours of browsing, shopping and dining. Come see how charming Sausalito is for yourself.
