Situated near the mouth of the Napa River and just an average-size journey from San Francisco, Vallejo is the staging area for many boaters planning a cruise up the Napa, San Joaquin or Sacramento Rivers. The town has a very nice and well-equipped marina harbor on the east shore of the river that can handle most any boating need.

Use NOAA Chart 18655.

From off of San Pablo Bay, the opening to Mare Island Strait is marked and bordered by two breakwaters. The east breakwater is marked with flashing red “2,” while the west side is marked with flashing green 1.” Once inside, follow the well-marked channel to the yacht basin on the on the east shore and find the lighted marker that announce the protected basin.

Local Notices to Mariners are now exclusively available online from the U.S. Coast Guard.
