Sausalito Wooden Boat Tours
Walking Tour · Downtown/Bridgeway
Verified September 2026
A private walking tour of the Sausalito waterfront and houseboat docks, not an actual boat trip — the name refers to the wooden boats and historic vessels you see along the way, not how you get around. It's a more theatrical, storytelling-driven alternative to the Historical Society's tour, run by a longtime local rather than a museum docent.
What To Expect
Two private tour options: a 2-hour tour focused entirely on the floating-home community, or a 3-hour "Classic" version covering more of the waterfront. Both require a minimum group of 6 and are booked directly with the operator, not walk-up. A self-guided guidebook is also sold for anyone who'd rather explore alone.
Getting There
Meets somewhere along the Sausalito waterfront; the operator confirms the exact starting point when you book.
Good To Know
Despite the name, this is a walking tour, not a boat ride — it's led by local artist and author Victoria Colella and mixes waterfront history with storytelling, art, and music rather than a straight recitation of facts.
