Some say it’s different, but residents of Marin County like their home that way. We’re betting you will too! Nestled between San Francisco and the Napa Valley, Marin County includes the cities of Tiburon, San Anselmo, San Rafael and Corte Madera.
Activities in Marin County include the highly anticipated Concours d’Elegance, a festival of pre-1978 vehicles and British Sports Cars. Held at the Marin County Fairgrounds in May, the event features a wine-tasting, fine food and “The Drive,” a parade of classic cars winding their way through the scenic back roads of Marin and neighboring Sonoma Counties ending with a lunch reception in San Rafael. In July, be sure to head to the Marin County Fair and in August hit the San Rafael Food and Wine Festival. Treat yourself to some of the world-renowned local wine and watch the sun go down over the hills.
Of course, there’s no shortage of natural beauty in Marin County. Beach lovers will enjoy Stinson Beach or Point Reyes National Seashore where wildlife abounds. Here you just might spot some Elephant Seals or Tule Elk among the rugged terrain or, from Point Reyes Lighthouse, catch a glimpse of a pod of whales. Go butterfly or bird watching and enjoy the many natural wonders of California’s Northern Coast.
For some, no vacation would be complete without a round of golf. If you’re a golf aficionado, Marin County will not disappoint you. The area boasts several public and private courses in a variety of settings, including San Geronimo Golf Course. Situated on 150 acres of stunning landscape, this is a challenging course designed to test your game! Or, try the StoneTree Golf Club, a daily fee, 18-hole championship course. If hiking is more your style, check out Angel Island State Park. Accessible only by ferry, Angel Island offers spectacular views of most of the Bay Area, including San Francisco. Fishing more your style? Try McNear’s Beach Pier in San Rafael.

The experience begins at Bluewater Yacht Harbor in Sausalito, where you will receive a full safety briefing and tour of the boat. Departing the marina, we will cruise along the charming Sausalito foreshore, and under the iconic Golden Gate Bridge for a once in a lifetime, better than the postcard photo. We will then make our way through the heart of the San Francisco Bay with breathtaking 360 degree views of the Bay, including the San Francisco skyline, the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, Treasure Island, the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, and Angel Island. Headed north through Racoon Strait, we will tour the Marin waterside with views of the opulent homes and brilliant vistas which dot the coastline of Belvedere and Tiburon. Finally, we slow it down and drop anchor in Richardson Bay to allow you to take in all you have seen and relax within the privacy of your own private yacht to enjoy views and whatever additional snacks or libations you have brought aboard. www.shanutski.com
