M.S. MARIN IS BACK IN SERVICE

The first of Golden Gate Ferry's three high-capacity (715 passengers) Spaulding vessels, the M.S. Marin, entered into service between Larkspur and San Francisco on December 11, 1976. After 30 years of service, the vessel underwent a major rehabilitation of all customer amenities, including all new interior and exterior seating, paint, deck coverings and carpeting, ceilings and wall paneling, lighting, PA system, restrooms, refreshment stand, security cameras, windows, bicycle racks (accommodate at least 70 bicycles), modern handicap lift, as well as generator and electrical systems. M.S. Marin was returned to service on the Sausalito-San Francisco Route on Saturday, July 28, 2007, after having been out of service for the rehab since November 2006.
