This is the classic version of the Sausalito Wooden Boat Tour* which is based on the Sausalito Wooden Boat Tour guide book. Local author and artist, Victoria Colella brings you into this sequestered world. Beginning with the Historic Houseboats then a stroll down the Gantry Crane Trail in the World War II Shipyards, exploring local art studios, Wooden Boat Center and into working waterfront. Here is where the floating homes are created and big boats are hauled out for repair. Victoria offers refreshments in the old boat lettering shack in the heart of Sausalito's working waterfront at the end of the tour.
Tour takes about 3 to 3-1/2 hours. There is free parking, places to rest along the way and 3 restroom stops.

We took our 12 person team on Victoria's tour last week and it was a delight. This tour gives you a glimpse the American cultural revolution (hippies, beatniks, LSD, enlightenment philosophy) that started during the 60s. The artifacts of that history are still here and you get to see them and experience them in a unique way with this tour.
