While there many ways to enjoy the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area, there is truly nothing like being on the water. Independence Day is coming up, do you have plans to catch all the action? The San Francisco Bay Area is one of the funnest places to experience Fourth of July. With dozens of events and firework shows to see, being on the water is truly the most unique place to be. This month we will feature an extended events calendar to give you a sneak peak when and where the booms and bangs and sparklers will be lighting up the Bay Area sky. And of course Seashine is always here to help in your boat cleaning and yacht maintenance needs along the way! Providing boat detailing, cleaning, and yacht management and maintenance services to most marinas throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including Alameda, Oakland, Emeryville, Berkeley, Richmond, San Rafael, Sausalito, and beyond. Give us a call today, and have your boat ready for the next adventure.

Please send us over special events we have not featured in the article and as always we would love to see your fun pictures and share your adventures on the bay with our audience at Seashine.

Maintenance tip and quote of the month:
Have your boat serviced and maintained by a reputable company! The difference between a fun day in sun, or a shot of the flare gun, can be minor simple things. Take the headache out of the boating and leave the tough stuff to us. For the Bay Area’s best boat detailing company, give Seashine a call and schedule your appointment today!

July Featured Event: 4th of July Celebration in San Francisco Bay Area
The San Francisco Bay Area is best place to be for the 4th of July weekend. Many cities along the water feature fireworks shows on Friday July 3rd and Saturday July 4th, including Berkeley, Sausalito, Alameda, San Francisco, Oakland, and others along the peninsula. Experiencing the firework shows on the water under the stars is an incredible experience! In addition to the epic shows, there are parades, festivals, and a ton of fun things to do! Jack London Square is hosting their annual family friendly festival on July 4th from 11AM to 4PM. Firework shows at Pier 39 and Berkeley Marina start around 9PM.

Adventure of the Month:
Evening trip on the Bay to watch the fireworks: Taking off from the emeryville marina, we are heading out on July 4th around 5:30PM. Heading through the channel markers, head straight out towards the Golden Gate. Depending on security measures for the holidays on the water, being just past the Berkeley Pier anchored will provide quite a show. You will be able to view the firework shows from Berkeley, Sausalito, San Francisco, and the surrounding cities from one vantage point. Another great spot is toward Alcatraz on the Embarcadero side of Treasure Island. The Berkeley show might be out of reach but you will be able to see the SF and North Bay shows. We hope you have a safe and enjoyable 4th of July weekend! We would love to hear your adventures to feature in our next monthly article. Happy Boating!!
