Ever
dreamed of sailing San Francisco?
The Aldebaran is more than just a sailboat; it is a private
customized sailing experience in the San Francisco Bay with Captain
John at the helm.
Aldebaran is docked at Loch Lomond Marina (near San Rafael) in
Marin County.
Captain John (brother of Dave, of Dave's Travel Corner) has been sailing
San Francisco & beyond for over 10 years and has first
hand experience with San Francisco Bay Sailing. He lives in the
San Francisco area and he sails almost every week.

Consider a romantic sail
to Sam's, a popular restaurant in Tiburon where folks arriving from the bay
dock and walk onto an open air deck for delicious food. Enjoy drinks and
a wonderful lunch overlooking the bay and Angel Island in the distance.
After lunch, perhaps a sail to the bay at Angel Island is in order where
you are free to explore the island and local attractions at your
leisure. This itinerary is just one of many that you can choose from.
The best months to sail in "the Bay" are September and October when the
days are warmer and there is less fog, however sailing in the San
Francisco Bay takes place any month of the year.
Trips are open to ages 10 and above. The Aldebaran is available for
romantic, sightseeing, limited fishing and general touring trips.
Are you a celebrity? Come with us incognito on one of our sailing trips.
We will give the Paparazzi "the slip"! Ha.
