Farallon Islands Boat Trip - From Clipper Yacht Harbor, Sausalito

Farallon Islands Boat Trip

From Clipper Yacht Harbor, Sausalito

Sunday, October 26, 2025

8:30 AM to 4 PM

With David Wimpfheimer

Registration is required for this trip. Registration opens on September 14 at 8:00 AM.

Join us for a day of seabird and marine mammal watching as we head out to the Farallon Islands and offshore waters. Naturalist David Wimpfheimer will be our guide aboard Captain Christian’s power catamaran, Outer Limits. When we last did this cruise, sightings included Humpback Whales, Laysan and Black-footed Albatross, Tufted Puffin, Rhinoceros and Cassin’s Auklets, shearwaters and jaegers. We will get a close-up look at the islands and hear about their interesting natural and human history. This is a trip that both experienced and first-time birders and nature lovers enjoy.

A rain jacket and pants are recommended no matter what the weather on shore. If you get seasick easily, this is not the trip for you. We will be on the boat all day.

Rescheduling might be necessary at the last minute due to sea conditions. 

The trip costs $165. A waitlist will open if the trip sells out. Add your name to the list by clicking Contact Organizer prompt. 

If you cancel your registration by October 20 and we can fill your spot with someone else on the waitlist, you will be reimbursed, minus a small transaction fee, unless you would like to convert your registration fee into a tax-deductible donation to MAS.

DIRECTIONS:

Take Highway 101 to the Marin City/Sausalito exit, head south on Bridgeway. Turn left at Mollie Stone’s onto Harbor Drive and proceed to the parking area at the end. We will meet on the south side of the parking lot to check in before boarding. Plan to arrive by 8:30 AM for check-in and instructions.
