Sausalitos waterfront culture is rich with a history of artists and great minds who have helped shape modern american culture. Originally sausalito was a Portuguese fishing town and over the years went from war ship manufacturing town into an aquatic waterfront bohemian paradise for mariners and builders/artists. The houseboat that is available to live in is "anchored out" which means surrounded by water being help by anchors and chain and rope which people have been living like here since before the first house was built here in sausalito. The boat belonged to an artist that help start the sausalito art festival which is world renowned. Experience the art culture and the salty mariner culture here in sausalito.
