DIRECTIONS TO PIER 43½

Red and White Fleet can offer one hour of parking validation for cars entering the Triangle Parking lot (located across the street from Pier 43 1/2 cornered by Jefferson, Taylor Street and Little Embarcadero) between 10am and before the final public cruise of the day departs. Sorry, we can't validate if you entered the lot before 10am. No parking validation offered during Fleet Week weekend and July 4th due to traffic and street closures along Fisherman's Wharf.

Pier 43½ is located in the heart of Historic Fisherman’s Wharf, at the foot of Taylor Street.

Pier 43½ is the departure point for the Golden Gate Bay Cruise, Bridge 2 Bridge Cruise, California Twilight Cruise, and the California Sunset Cruise.
