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!

Optional Post-cruise Dinner - An optional dinner immediately after disembarkation is planned at Gott's Roadside at Chase Center. The dinner formerly was at Che Fico Pizzeria, but the restaurant cancelled our reservation. Someone apparently bought out the entire restaurant. We will walk to Gott's located 3 blocks south of Pier 52. Gott's is a casual restaurant where diners order at the counter and seat themselves. The restaurant offers a variety of pub-like food. Link for Gott's is: https://www.gotts.com/location/sfmissionbay/
Reservations for Gott's do not require a separate registration, as previously with Che Fico Pizzeria. Just join us after the boat tour. MAX will refund the deposit that folks previously made to register for Che Fico.
Refunds and Waitlist - No refunds will be allowed after July 21 for the cruise unless we can fill your position. A waitlist is available for cancellations.
Meeting Spot and Parking - Pier 52 and Chase Center are in Mission Bay along Terry A Francois Blvd. See map location below. The Pier 52 Boat Launch is situated approximately opposite the eastern terminus of Mission Bay Blvd North. Limited street parking is available in the area. A public surface lot called Pier 52 Parking Lot is situated just south of Pier 52 Boat Launch. Arrive early enough to familiarize yourself with the parking situation, get a parking ticket and walk to the boat launch area. The boat leaves at 4pm! As of mid-June, no events are scheduled at Chase Center and Oracle Arena that otherwise could complicate parking. Please recheck schedules later.
