Happenings at the Emeryville Marina

Commuters Embrace New Ferry Service

Prop SF is now servicing Emeryville from the Emeryville Marina commercial dock to San Francisco Pier 15 (near the Exploratorium) and back. Their small and comfortable ferries have individual seats, WI-FI, USB charging and bike racks. They operate Mon. – Fri. with morning and afternoon pickups. You must buy tickets online ahead of time, as they do not allow walk-ups.  (Buy nine tickets and your tenth ride is free.) You can also call  (650) 503-3779 for booking. It’s about a twelve minute ride for $9. Limited parking is available and is only $3 all day for travelers. Find out how to get there and where to park by watching a quick instructional video.

screen-shot-2016-11-02-at-7-12-10-pmOriginally offering ferry service only for Fortune 500 companies over the last years, Prop SF is now offering this revolutionary and fun means of travel to the public. With nine ports and 16 routes, all of their vessels are U.S. Coast Guard inspected and their leadership team makes your ride affordable, quick and safe. “An important driving force when we founded the company,” says CEO and Captain James Jaber, “was that we could improve people’s lives. That is at the core of our business. We can help people change their habits and get on the boat!”

It seems that a 12 min. ride to work in the morning on our beautiful San Francisco Bay would be a refreshing and inspirational way to start the day. No more bumper to bumper or searching desperately for parking at BART. Park, ride and relax. Though there is some parking, Emery Go Round would also be a great way to get down to the ferry dock in Emeryville. Next marina story: Improvements and Changes at the Emeryville Marina.

Fishing Reportimg_2741

It’s all happening down at the docks in Emeryville. During the first seven days in December Fish Emeryville sent out two boats with 160 anglers. The catch? 1,600 Dungeness Crab, 42 Lingcod and 1,297 Rockfish.  That’s a lot of crab.

Fish Emeryville is located at 3310 Powell St. in the Emeryville Marina and specializes in fishing trips outside the Golden Gate as well as in the SF Bay. Knowledgeable captains ensure a safe and rewarding experience out on the water.  You can reach them at (510) 652-3403 or [email protected]. They also have a hotline number: (510) 652-3474. You can now buy your fishing license online. Directions here.

WHEN: Fri., Oct. 7 until Sun., Oct. 30

WHERE: 1550 Park Ave in Emeryville

WHAT: 30th Annual Emeryville Art Exhibition

“Every day hundreds of artists are working in Emeryville and this juried 30th-logoexhibition is their yearly showcase,” explains Sharon Wilchar, exhibition coordinator. “The positive transformation of our city over the past 30 years is impressive. As a player in enhancing the cultural vibrancy of our city and engaging the community through the arts, Emeryville Celebration of the Arts is proud to have been a partner in this transformation.”

100 artists who work or live in Emeryville transformed 1550 Park Ave. – the Pelco Refrigeration building donated by 1550 Park LLC – into a living exhibit of paintings, sculptures, photographs, ceramics and textile arts. In its 30th year, running until Sun., Oct. 30, the show celebrates the talent and creativity that abounds in this 1.2 square mile city from 11am-6pm daily.

Prominent artists who have contributed to the Annual Emeryville Art Exhibition over the years include photographer Richard Misrach, sound sculptor Bill Fontana and painter Marc Foster Grant who, with his wife Jeanne Allen, founded San Francisco’s Jeanne-Marc clothing company.

A dozen artists from the 45th Street Artists’ Cooperative, who contributed work to the first exhibition in 1987, will show new work this year – including painters Edythe Bresnahan and M. Louise Stanley, textile artist Ana Lisa Hedstrom, photographer Kim Harrington and directors and co-founders of Kala Art Institute Archana Horsting and Yuzo Nakano. All works on display in the exhibition are available for purchase.
