The ship is docked at the US Army Corps of Engineers Bay Model Visitor Center at 2100 Bridgeway in Sausalito, CA. Access is via Marinship Way

Parking

Free parking is available in the US Army Corps of Engineer Bay Model Visitor Center lot. Based on recent trends, parking may be limited in the Bay Model parking lot due to Sea Trek Kayaking and the Bay Model being very busy in the mornings and early afternoons. Spillover parking is available on Bridgeway (non metered all day spots) and on weeekends in front of #10 Libertyship Way in the yellow zones.

Check in

Please wait at the gate to the pier in front of the Bay Model. There will be an escort to walk you past the gate, down the pier to the ship. M

Why Call of the Sea?

We’re a nonprofit supporting on-the-water environmental education. During the week, we provide educational programs to youth. Community Sails are a great way to share our mission with new people and to help lower costs for youth educational sails.

Fair winds!

Post sail, you can join our neighbor, Sea Trek, which has organized a Veterans event at the Bay Model’s amphitheater . This is an open discussion on the veteran identity topic. Highlighting the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of military service and veteran issues. Our goal being to start the conversation on these issues and work to bridge what is known as the civilian-military cultural divide.”
