Details

Oceanic Society welcomes you aboard for an exciting trip to the Farallon Islands. Your trip departs promptly at 8:00 from the Marina Yacht Harbor (Scott and Marina Blvd.) on the Salty Lady, our 56 ft. U.S. Coast Certified vessel. The vessel can take up to 48 passengers, and has an inside cabin with limited seating. (See ALTERNATIVE SAUSALITO LOCATION in this packet). Please arrive 15 minutes prior to departure and meet our naturalist outside the San Francisco Yacht Harbor/Marina Green Harbormaster's Office for your boarding pass and a short indoctrination prior to boarding. It is imperative that you call 415 258-8220 the morning of departure to determine trip status, as sea conditions may cancel the trip. The recording will be on at 6:00 a.m.; trip status will not be available earlier. Our vessel will depart under the Golden Gate Bridge and proceed to the Farallon Islands. We will stop along the way for any interesting marine life we may encounter, but our destination is the Southeast Farallon Islands. Reminder Bring warm clothes, rain slicker, and your own food and beverages; our vessel does NOT have food or beverages available (we recommend a small back pack, as no coolers or hard picnic cases are allowed on the boat). Cameras, binoculars, sunglasses, and sunscreen are recommended. We strongly urge that you take seasickness precautions before boarding. Consult your doctor or pharmacist, Be well rested the morning of the trip and avoid alcoholic beverages the previous night. On the day of your trip, eat a high carbohydrate, non-fatty breakfast. Bringing crackers and soda can help with queasiness. Remember, prevention is the only cure. For trip status, call 415 258-8220 after 6:00 a.m. on day of departure.
