Election Night on the Potomac
After crossing the Bay, the historic vessel will pick up additional political partiers at San Francisco’s Pier 40 in the City’s South Beach Marina at 6 p.m. Election viewing will be on two state of the art big screen TVs.
During the three hour cruise, guests will be treated to fine wines courtesy of Foggy Bridge Winery, and food provided by Kincaid’s Restaurant of Oakland and Palomino Restaurant of San Francisco.
The cruise will debark passengers at 8:45 p.m. in San Francisco, and 9:45p.m. in Oakland, just as the evening’s winner will be making his acceptance speech. Tickets are $195 per person, 50% tax deductible, and may be purchased by calling (510) 627-1667. You are welcome to board at either Jack London Square or Pier 40. For more information, go to
