Please join MAX and the Black Tie Club on Sunday, August 23, for a shoreline cruise hosted by a super knowledgeable guide, historian and author, Chris Carlsson. This amazing and educational boat tour traverses the northern waterfront, and includes: exploring Yerba Buena Cove, Telegraph Hill, Fisherman's Wharf, Aquatic Park, Fort Mason, and the former Panama-Pacific International Exposition grounds; traveling beyond the Golden Gate Bridge before returning by a long-lost island, and; navigating Alcatraz close-up. The boat, Pacific Pearl, stops along various points, where Chris would discuss history or historic events of that particular place.
The boat is a refurbished 50-foot sports fishing vessel with restroom(s) and room to walk around. Snacks and drinks are allowed on board. The boat leaves from Emeryville Marina where it initially picks up passengers there. Then boat stops at Pier 52 in San Francisco where we would board at 4pm, and returns around 6:30pm. Please be punctual to avoid missing the boarding!
