If your timing is right, you may just catch a rocket launch across the water at our neighbor, SpaceX! During some times of the year, SpaceX employees trim time off their commute by catching the Starbase Hovercraft Shuttle Service. This awesome Hovercraft is not open to the public, but you may have a chance to see it in action as it shuttles employees from our docks to the nearby rocket facility.

All of the shuttles are equipped with a bicycle rack, ADA accessible with wheelchair lifts, and offer complimentary WiFi.
