What to Wear
Be sure to dress for the forecasted weather, keeping in mind that it can be several degrees cooler on the water.
We usually advise you to wear jeans, a tee-shirt or sweatshirt, tennis or other soft-soled shoes and bring a jacket.
Of course, if it?s a special occasion, feel free to get all dressed up.

Detailed Directions
The Adventure Cat departs from Pier 39, just off The Embarcadero, across near the intersection of Beach Street, Grant Avenue, & The Embarcadero. For your GPS or online maps, the closest street address is 2 Beach Street, San Francisco, CA 94133.
When you get to Pier 39, stand on the sidewalk & look towards the water, do NOT go down the center where the shops are, but take the left OUTSIDE walkway. Go towards the sea lions & look for a gate with the letter J on it. That's our dock. Check in with a crew member at the gate 15 min prior to departure. Lost? Call us at 800-498-4228
