She began life in Norway and Iceland ferrying cars and heavy equipment around the frigid waters of the North Atlantic. In 2001, the “Tufjord” (as she was known at the time) was acquired by Californian architect, Olle Lundberg, known for bringing a breath of nature into stark industrial spaces. After modernizing her and christening her “Maritol,” Lundberg sent her on her longest journey yet: across the Atlantic, through the Panama Canal and the iconic red arches of the Golden Gate Bridge, to San Francisco. In 2011, the architectural beauty was acquired by an eclectic engineer and NASA scientist duo and transformed into a recreational vessel used by a vibrant community of entrepreneurs as office and event space. Written up in Forbes and the Wall Street Journal, the Maritol has become something of a legend in the Bay for being a place where brilliant ideas and unicorns are born. Three years ago, the Maritol was dry-docked and repainted. Today she is moored in Alameda where she awaits the next chapter of her unconventional life. The vessel has three decks totaling about 8,000 sqft and includes: Industrial car deck with tall ceiling and skylight = 3600 sqft Entrance + office = 500 sqft Crew deck = 1700 sqft Captain's studio cabin + wheelhouse = 600 sqft Top deck with views of San Francisco = 2000 sqft Specifications ?
