Blue and Gold Fleet simply Totally Golden!

Such a lovely, scenic and relaxing ride across the Bay. The weather was fine; the water was calm; there was no crowd during our crossings. Although we were head to spend a day in Sausalito, the ferry ride was an experience in itself!

Recommended. Just know it is high end & be careful where you choose to eat. Nice end of trip day.

Sausalito really just a small strip of eclectic high end shops and stores. Some eateries, beautiful homes. Trip over was enjoyable & worth the cost. Unfortunately we chose wrong restaurant. $30 for a "lobster roll" made with fake lobster & some mayonnaise. Should have avoided bayside and anything else.

Ride from Sausalito to San Francisco Wharf

My family used the Blue and Gold Fleet to SF after biking across the Golden Gate Bridge to Sausalito.The ladies who worked at the area when the ticket kiosks are and where you line up to board were super nice and friendly. The price to take the ferry is quite reasonable and it’s nice they don’t charge extra for your bike. The man who instructs you where to put you bike on board is militant. He basically yells at people and throws the bikes on top of each other. I felt bad for anyone with an expensive bike the way he tossed them into each other. Mine was a rental and I was seriously concerned they were going to charge us for damage. As we walked up to the deck to find seating people were talking about him throwing their bikes around. Perhaps he was having a bad day. It did seem like a lot of work for one person to be doing. Hopefully it was fluke.

Don't bother to get there early unless you are on a bike.

We got to the dock early so we could get seats outside. It was a gorgeous day and we were looking forward to a pleasant boat ride. At the last minute a lot of bicyclists arrived, lined up in the bike lane, and boarded first. When we got on all the outside seats were taken by the bikers. So we ended up below deck, looking out a dingy window. My husband was able to squeeze in on the upper deck to get some photos of the scenery. I would have enjoyed this much more if we could have been outside. i'm disappointed.
