The San Francisco Bar Pilots have been safeguarding Northern California's pristine waters since 1850, navigating the challenging waters of the San Francisco Bay and its tributaries. As a government-regulated organization, they are licensed and overseen by both the United States Coast Guard and the California Board of Pilot Commissioners, ensuring the highest standards of safety and efficiency. With a 170-year history, the San Francisco Bar Pilots are entrusted with safely guiding the world's largest ships through 160 miles of North America's most treacherous waterways. Operating at no cost to taxpayers, their services are fully funded by corporations and ship owners, the majority of whom are headquartered outside the United States.Generated from the website
