Innkeepers Robert and Mollie Harris offer visitors to the San Francisco Bay area probably one of the most unique places to stay. Dockside Boat and Bed offers a fourteen-boat fleet to guests looking for something different but definitely romantic. If you have concerns about the quality of service you'll receive, fret not. In 1994, Dockside was certified as a bed and breakfast by the California Association of B&B Inns. In keeping with the B&B tradition, Dockside's service includes a continental breakfast brought right to your cabin door.
Each boat offers guests something different. Some yachts are sailing vessels, while others are motor-based. Whatever you choose, you're certain to be pleased. Master staterooms feature queen or full beds, color televisions, stereo cassettes, heating, refrigerator/freezers, microwaves, and full baths. A coffee maker with fresh ground coffee and teas are also on board.
A sampling of the fleet includes: Carrie C-a forty-one-foot Viking Sport fisher motor yacht that features a spacious, enclosed upper fly bridge deck with views to Jack London Square and the Estuary. Some of the amenities you'll find aboard the Carrie C are a wet bar, sectional couch and an entertainment system with a CD/cassette player and color TV/VCR. The master stateroom has a full bed with adjoining bath and the large aft deck is ideal for soaking up the rays. Kweilin is a fifty-four-foot Ketch-rigged CT. This sailboat features lots of deck space with cushioned seating for eight in the cockpit. The best part of your stay aboard Kweilin is its location at an end-tie with a great view of the Estuary and San Francisco. Inside are four staterooms and three baths. The interior is spacious yet intimate with lots of teak paneling.
Order a catered dinner aboard any of the yachts for that extra-romantic touch!
Your choice of activities is practically limitless. Some of the more popular include: hiking, sightseeing, bicycling, historic tours, theater, opera, concerts, shopping, cable cars, boating, sailing, speedboat and sail cruises, and harbor seal viewing.
Dockside has two locations in the Bay area: Pier 39 at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco and Jack London Square in Oakland. Snooze and cruise packages are available.
