US Coast Guard Tour for TEN (10) - USCGC BERTHOLF, Alameda CA
Tour for TEN (10) on the United States Coast Guard Cutter BERTHOLF, located in Alameda. Welcome Aboard United States Coast Guard Cutter BERTHOLF, the lead ship of the newest Legend-class National Security Cutters. You and up to 10 of your friends will experience a once in a life-time tour aboard this state of the art 418-foot long military ship capable of speeds up to 29 knots. Be brought up to the flight deck by the Officer of the Day to see where helicopters safely land while the boat is deep at sea. Climb up 65 feet to the bridge to see how the ship is controlled and get a chance to ring the ship's bell. Meet Coast Guard boarding officers and learn about the cutter's critical drug interdiction duties while you try on their gear. Finish with a pizza lunch in the mess hall where 127 crew-members regularly fuel up in order to perform their critical military assignments
in maritime law enforcement, search and rescue, and defense readiness.
Recommended for ages 8 and up due to content and physical ability to
climb ladders and small spaces. The ship will be available for tours after May (and for a few months before the next mission). Make it a birthday party, take your scout troop, or any other posse you like to hang out with. A group of SCEF volunteers paved the way by sampling this tour, before offering as an auction item, and we LOVED it-very cool experience for adults and kids!
Children must be at least 8 years old, and all tour participants must have the ability to climb up and down steep ladders. If there are younger kids that would like to come along, they
can certainly come on board, but will have to stay outside on the
main deck in the care of an adult. At least
two tour members should be adults.
