Angel Island is one of the Bay Area's secluded gems.  The island is within Marin County, but is managed by the State Park Service Rangers.  The island is packed with beautiful trails and historical sites, including an Army Base (Civil War to WWII), a Cold War missile site, and a 19th Century Immigration Station. 

This is a great walking or biking experience.  Click Here for Snapshots of past events.

The Catalina Rendezvous is one of the Bay Area's exciting cruising traditions.  Catalina owners will be arriving as early as Wednesday to begin the rafts, which may exceed 100 boats this year.  There is no anchoring; we tie-off to mooring balls and then raft.  We will have dinghies in the water to assist with the rafting (Arrival Details).  Each boat-model group rafts together and contributes in some way toward the Saturday Dinner and party ( Event Details).  On Sunday we will organize an Island Tour of the many natural and historical aspects of the Island.  (Island Tour Details).  Panorama of 2004 raft.

This is easy & fun for the whole family!

Please join us for a great time!

Historical Points of Interest

The island was discovered by Juan de Ayala, became a cattle ranch, and later a U.S. Army Post. During WW II, POWs were held on the island.  The base also processed US soldiers going to and returning from the Pacific Battles.

From 1892 - 1940 there was an Immigration Station here.

This is an interesting adventure!
