Golden Gate Ferry with Marin in background

Ferry System:
The Ferry system in Marin is an inexpensive way to see the San Francisco bay area in a unique and inspiring light. The Ferry is a wonderful way to see the bay, you’ll pass Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge, while viewing Marin hills and the San Francisco skyline. View ocean sealife, yachts and ships sailing the bay. A wonderful sight and feeling.

On select events, such as a Giants game at the Pac Bell Ball Park (SF Giants home), the ferry will run at additional times from Larkspur Ferry Terminal (which is only 7 minutes from the home!).
