Pickup Pals can track the number of rides they have given or taken and the number of miles they have traveled via ride sharing and Treasure Island can keep track of the amount of carbon emissions we have collectively reduced as a result!
Boating to Treasure Island
• The Treasure Island Marina has a limited number of guest slips, or you can anchor out and dinghy over to the Marina.
• They will give you a key for $10 so you can get into the gate at the end of the night ($25 deposit required). Office hours are 10am - 4pm both days. The Marina is a short walk to the festival site - www.tiyc.org.
• You will NOT be able to anchor near the festival site - it is dangerously close to Treasure Island boulder retaining wall and not safe. You will not be able to see into the site, so please if you are boating over, go to the Marina.
