Craig Kenkel, Superintendent
In accordance with regulations and the delegated authority provided in Title 36, Code of Federal
Regulations (“36 CFR”), Chapter 1, Parts 1-7, authorized by Title 16 United States Code, Section
3, the following provisions apply to all lands and waters administered by the National Park
Service, within the boundaries of San Francisco Maritime National Historical Park. Unless
otherwise stated, these regulatory provisions apply in addition to the requirements contained in 36
CFR, Chapter 1, parts 1-7.
36 CFR 1.5 – VISITING HOURS, PUBLIC USE LIMITS, CLOSURES, AND
AREA DESIGNATION FOR SPECIFIC USE OR ACTIVITIES.
(a)(2) The following areas have been designated for a specific use or activity, under
the conditions and/or restrictions as noted:
 Boating
Only non-motorized and sail/auxiliary boats are allowed in Aquatic Park Cove, San Francisco
Maritime National Park. Overnight (sunset to sun up) shall be by permit only. Permits are
approved for no more than 5 consecutive nights at a time. A break of 1 full week (7) 24 hour
consecutive time periods from Aquatic Park Cove is required before re-entering the Cove for
overnight stays. Another permit can be submitted for approval after the 7 day break. Total
overnight stays are limited to 30 per year. Permits are issued by the Aquatic Park Cove
Harbormaster. Vessels may not be left unattended for more than six hours. Day use of the Cove
does not require a permit.
There are no permanent fixed moorings available to visiting vessels. Use of the Cove requires an
adequate anchor and proper gear. All vessels over 40’ in length or 8’ in draft require park
approval prior to entering the Cove.
The space for visiting non-motorized and sail/auxiliary boats is available on a first come, first
serve basis. The Cove offers aquatic opportunities to many park users. Due to the large number
of swimmers in the Cove, tenders/dinghies shall be rowed or powered by a small (5hp or less)
outboard motor ONLY to provide transport to and from the shore.
Vessels that are classified as a sailboat may use a small auxiliary motor for safe maneuvering.
Sailboat operators must keep a lookout, while underway, to watch for swimmers.
The National Park Service is not responsible for loss, theft or damage to personal property while
visiting Aquatic Park Cove.
Contact the NPS Aquatic Park Cove Harbormaster at: 415-859-6807 or
nps_safr_harbor_master@nps.gov for additional information and/or a permit.
