Full Moon Sail on San Francisco Bay- March 2025

Underway for a leisurely evening sail, take in the views of the San Francisco skyline, Golden Gate Bridge, Bay Bridge, Marin Headlands, Alcatraz, and Angel Islands, all while experiencing the magic of the sunset and moonrise.

Worm Moon - March

At this time of the year in colder climates, the ground begins to soften enough for earthworm casts to reappear, inviting robins and birds to feed—a true sign of spring. Roots start to push their way up through the soil, and the Earth experiences a re-birth as it awakens from its winter slumber. Celebrate the coming of spring on the San Francisco Bay!

Schooner Freda B is a sea kind 80' gaff rigged coastal schooner, making her one of the San Francisco Bay's most comfortable and traditional vessels to sail. Experience the romance of yesteryear with a local, licensed Captain and Professional Crew.
