Private Events at the Port

The waterfront is the perfect location to host events of all sizes. From graduation parties, more intimate group dinners, or office offsite events, there are a variety of locations with the best views of the bay and the right ambiance and energy for your group.
Major events and gatherings deserve to be celebrated in a jaw-dropping venue. Popular locations including the San Francisco Ferry Building, the Pier 27 Cruise Terminal, the Exploratorium and Oracle Park are available to use for weddings, corporate events, birthdays and so much more. Each venue has additional spaces to host smaller or larger groups as well as indoor and outdoor events.
Add an extra special touch to a graduation party or office off-site gathering by hosting it on the water. Red and White Fleet and Blue and Gold Fleet can accommodate groups for a unique day or night out on the bay. Smaller groups looking for more intimate settings can book a charter vessel such as Bay Voyager or SF Water Taxi to set sail for a custom bay tour.

Head to a waterfront restaurant such as La Mar, Mission Rock Resort and The Waterfront Restaurant for exceptional food, service and ambiance. Most waterfront restaurants can host private groups and provide catering for the occasion.
Permits may be issued for outdoor events at a public park and open space at the Port. Locations including Port parks, the EcoCenter at Heron’s Head Park, and select open spaces may be rented for events. Contact Special Events Permits for more information and to book your event.
