About this property
Century-Old San Francisco Yacht
***Overnight stays are offered in conjunction with a chartered cruise***
***The price quoted here is only for an overnight stay and does not include the cruise -- please scroll down to see prices for various cruise options***
Cruise by the Golden Gate Bridge, Angel Island, Alcatraz, and the San Francisco skyline with Union Island charters, followed by an overnight stay at our dock in the in the lively village of Sausalito, just a few miles north of SF.
This 3-cabin yacht exudes timeless elegance. With abundant natural light, postcard views, and the subtle swaying of bay waters, it is a retreat space that calms the senses and soothes the soul. Cozy, yet comfortable, the yacht is surprisingly spacious and fully equipped for wining, dining, dozing and connecting with loved ones -- perfect for a romantic escape or as a base to explore the Bay Area with your family.
The teak interior includes a quaint kitchenette, dining/work area, queen size bed, two single bunks/daybeds, and two bathrooms. At the rear of the boat is a cozy open-air space with a cocktail table. Ample deck space up top for lounging.
The following cruise prices are in addition to the cost of the overnight stay that is quoted in the listing. The cruise prices do not incur any additional taxes or fees. Please send us a message noting how many hours you would like and we will add the cost to your reservation prior to booking.

Please contact us for custom itineraries.
Maximum stay is two nights. You may also charter the boat for daytime cruises without an overnight stay. Union Island offers adventures year round, with daytime, sunset and nighttime departures. Evenings are an overlooked time to be on the water, which is lit up by the stars, moon and lights of the Golden Gate Bridge and downtown San Francisco.
Weather on the Bay is often beautiful in the middle of winter, when it is sometimes even warmer than on our (often) foggy summer days. But we do have heaters on the boat to keep you toasty on cool nights, and one of the cabins is completely enclosed with glass on all sides to keep the wind off during cruises. While offshore, we have onboard power for electric blankets.
If you’d like to take a road trip before or after your stay, we also have luxurious 24-foot Mercedes sprinter van conversion for rent.
Each booking supports the Union Island Project, which provides marine excursions to low income residents.

About the host
Hosted by Amy Thorne

I write for publications such as the New Yorker and National Geographic and am currently making a film and writing a book about homelessness in the Bay Area. I bought this boat with my wife, a doctor, genetic engineer and filmmaker, as a place to bring people together from the various parts of our lives. We're inviting tech CEOs aboard alongside homeless residents we've befriended. We're using the boat in a new film and hosting dinner parties with artists, activists and freethinkers. And: we're inviting you aboard.
