Why Wilford Welch chose Sausalito

We enjoy living 'on the docks' in Sausalito. We moved here from Belvedere, CA. because we found the houseboat community filled with interesting, creative people with casual, unpretentious, active, lifestyles. Being only 20 minutes by car to the middle of San Francisco for cultural, educational and social activities, and less than an hour from Napa and Sonoma and the beautiful wine country, are all big pluses. Hiking is five minutes away and great restaurants are nearby. We feel we have the best of many worlds right here. We call our houseboat "Shangri-La" for one feels they are living in a different and very special world.

What makes this Houseboat unique

Ours is a home that is ideal for a couple (or two) who appreciate the finer things in life and would like to relax and entertain in style in one of the most unique houseboats in the world.
