Realizing a vision for an ever-improving yacht harbor.

Why is it important to have a clear vision for your business?
We realize that if you remain stagnant, you are going to fall behind. This is why a clear vision is so important. We first imagine where we want to be 1, 5, 10 years in the future. Only then can we determine what it takes to get there. Making improvements and changes without a vision for the future is inefficient.

How does your team’s vision manifest itself in your business practice?
You can see all throughout the property our visions coming to life. We do our best to create an environment where everyone on our team is heard. We succeed having a team with shared goals willing to hold each other accountable to make things happen.

Does your business have a unique history in the Bay Area?
The Pedersen family has been working around the bay for almost 100 years, after immigrating from Norway. Cliff Pedersen started as a ferry boat captain before the Golden Gate Bridge was built and opened Clipper Yacht Harbor right after World War II.

What services do you offer?
We pride ourselves as being a one-stop shop. On site we have over 600 wet and dry berths, a boat yard, marine mechanics, rigging shop, fuel dock, bait shop, yacht sales, boating school, fishing charters, divers, boat cleaners, a restaurant, and the list keeps going.
