Treasure Island Ferry Terminal — Local services in San Francisco

Saturday morning 5 of us took the somewhat new Treasure Island Taxi from the Ferry Building, leaving at 11:20 (after checking out the Farmer's market beforehand). There was plenty of space, a short 10 minutes. Great short trip, friendly staff. Schedules are online, and we were pleased they were on time, ready to go, well organized. Gate B is on the north side by itself, not next to the large ferries in the center.

We walked to Mersea Restaurant, about 1/2 mile. Currently a little longer walk due to construction, but found our way. There is a large open parking lot at the restaurant, with outside and inside seating. Lots of dogs, great mix of people, music in the outside courtyard.

The menu is varied, lots of choices, tacos/fish and chips/hamburgers/large salads. The large half salted caramel/vanilla ice cream dessert was outstanding--worth the trip in itself!

The owner/Manger was gracious, offered to take our phots, and was available to answer questions.

WE returned to visit the Treasure Island Museum, directly across from the water taxi pier. it opens at noon on Sat, and had lots of parking. A fabulous old building, art deco statues at the entrance, Treasure Island and navy history. The single staff member was interesting and shared local stories. A large whisky bar (which wasn't open) is in the lobby as well as a member club.

It became extremely windy, so the 3:20 taxi return was cancelled. Uber back to the city was quick and easy.. A great way to...

Lovely ferry with prompt/on-time service all things willing. Staff was exceptional, they made the journey feel safe and enjoyable. There's a top viewing deck with seats and a table along with more seats on the main floor of the boat. The trip is short but the views are beautiful. I would say the best view of the city is leaving the Ferry Building for Treasure Island because you would be looking off the back of the boat unobstructed. The cost during the week was $5 and they took card, tap to pay, and online tickets when I went. I don't believe they take Clipper Card but could've misunderstood. If it's the weekend I would just buy the tickets online to ensure you have a seat there and back. Very cute and safe. I don't think they run late into the night either so make sure you understand the time table. Made it from Panorama Park down to the terminal in about...

This is my review for the ferry itself rather than the terminal.

The people working the boat are very kind. A while ago, I was standing near the terminal looking quite lost, unsure of how to get back to the city. They helped me and offered to take me on the Treasure Island ferry, which I didn’t even know existed. From what I remember, the fare is $5, which isn’t amazing considering the bus is cheaper, but still affordable if you’re using it once. Luckily, they accepted both cash and card. The seats are comfortable and the view is amazing, albeit through pretty small windows. The whole boat is rather small, and would probably feel cramped if fully occupied. Being on the water, it’s not going to be the smoothest ride, but it is fairly quick and I think you get what you pay for....
