All Golden Gate Ferries features multiple decks, indoor and outdoor seating, full-service refreshment stands and space for 15 to 70 bicycles, depending on vessel.
In San Francisco, Golden Gate ferries depart to Sausalito or Larkspur from the Golden Gate San Francisco Ferry Terminal located behind the historic San Francisco Ferry Building along the Embarcadero at the foot of Market Street.
Sausalito Ferry
The Sausalito route is served by a 715-passenger ferry which makes daily crossings. The 30-minute trip (one way) offers dramatic views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Angel Island, and the San Francisco skyline. The Bridge at sunset is especially spectacular! The ferry docks in the heart of downtown Sausalito at Humboldt and Anchor. This quaint hill town, settled in the 1860's, offers unusual shops and great restaurants.
Larkspur Ferry
Service between Larkspur and San Francisco is provided: on weekdays, by two high-speed catamarans, and on weekends by a 715-passenger ferry. The one-way trip takes 30 to 50 minutes depending on the vessel. This route offers spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, Marin hill towns, and magnificent Mount Tamalpais. The Larkspur Ferry docks at a terminal in central Marin County, just across the street from the Larkspur Landing Shopping Center (once the site of a quarry near San Quentin Prison). The Landing offers an array of unique shops, outdoor areas and restaurants.
