BAY AREA SEAMAN'S CLUB
AT THE INTERNATIONAL MARITIME CENTER
Greetings Seafarer Friends!
Welcome to the Bay Area Seaman’s Club at the International Maritime Center!
We are your “home away from home and ship” while you are in the Bay Area. We are updating and remodeling the IMC to include a new bistro-style café “World’s Fare Kitchen Table” featuring fresh foods, pastries, fruits and vegetables, grab-n-go meals, meal kits. We will soon have an upgraded lounge area for you with computer-based games, Board and table games, relaxation and meditation areas.
We are covering our patios to provide shade in the warmer seasons and comfortable heat in the cooler seasons as you relax outside enjoying the great views of the bay and the nearby San Francisco skyline.
Work is in progress now and we plan to complete the remodel this August!
