The Treasure Island Sailing Center (TISC) provides excellent access to the waters of San Francisco Bay for kayakers, canoeists, and small boaters. Situated in Clipper Cove at the entrance to Treasure Island, the facility offers easy access and ample space for launching and retrieving small watercraft.
TISC has docks and hoists to accommodate dinghies and small keelboats, making it a convenient option for those looking to explore the central San Francisco Bay area. The center's location near the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge provides easy access by car from both sides of the bay. While the facility is primarily focused on sailing, it welcomes paddlers and small boaters and can serve as a great starting point for excursions around Treasure Island and the surrounding waters.
Please note that this is a reservable venue, so those interested in using the facility may want to check availability and any applicable fees or permitting requirements. Additionally, the nearby Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary and Alcatraz Island offer additional opportunities for exploration and recreation in the San Francisco Bay area.
