Opening Day on the Bay

Opening Day on the Bay is an annual celebration of the maritime community on the San Francisco Bay. Join us aboard the traditional Schooner Freda B for the festivities: blessing of the fleet, parade, and sail. Schooner Freda B is a sea kind 80′ gaff rigged coastal schooner, making her one of the San Francisco Bay’s most comfortable and traditional vessels to sail. Experience the romance of yesteryear and with a local, licensed Captain and Professional Crew.
