Podcast studio near Marin County.
From San Rafael it is about 35 minutes over the Golden Gate Bridge; from the Larkspur ferry it is a waterfront walk to a podcast studio near Marin. Either way you record with an engineer and go home with your files.
A podcast studio near Marin is closer than it feels: about 35 minutes from San Rafael by car over the Golden Gate Bridge, about 15 from Sausalito, or a Larkspur ferry ride to the SF Ferry Building followed by a 15 minute walk up The Embarcadero. Our studio at 50 Francisco St in North Beach puts a dedicated engineer on every session, so authors, coaches, and wellness professionals record a whole batch of episodes and leave with raw 4K plus separated audio the same day.
Getting here from Marin
Over the bridge or across the water.
Drive 101 south over the Golden Gate Bridge
From San Rafael plan about 35 minutes; from Sausalito about 15. After the bridge, take Lombard St east, then Columbus Ave toward the waterfront and Francisco St.
Or ride the Larkspur ferry
Larkspur ferries land at the SF Ferry Building. Walk 15 minutes up The Embarcadero, or take the F streetcar to the Greenwich St stop, about a 4 minute walk from our door.
Sausalito ferry works too
The Sausalito ferry reaches the Ferry Building in about 30 minutes, then the same waterfront walk. Bring headphones and review your outline on the water.
Park once you arrive
Metered street parking on Francisco St and Battery St is easiest before 10am, and public garages line The Embarcadero and the Levi's Plaza area. All routes are mapped on the directions and parking page.
Your engineer, on set
The Marin way to record
You talk. Your engineer handles everything else.
Authors, coaches, and wellness professionals make up most of our North Bay bookings, and they come for the same reason: the session feels like a conversation while the technical layer disappears. Your engineer frames shots, rides levels on the Shure mics, runs the teleprompter for scripted reads, and hands you raw 4K plus separated audio before you leave.
What the crossing buys
A podcast studio near Marin, one bridge away.
Self-serve rooms in San Francisco run $40 to $150 per hour and you operate the gear. Our $450 per hour session is engineered end to end, and the formats Marin clients bring fit it well: books become audio on the audiobook and voiceover set, methods become shows on the coaching studio page, and a Creator Day from $1,200 banks a quarter in one crossing.
FAQ · Marin
North Bay questions, answered plainly.
How do I get to the studio from Marin?+
By car, take 101 south over the Golden Gate Bridge, then Lombard St east and Columbus Ave toward the waterfront: about 35 minutes from San Rafael and about 15 from Sausalito, off peak. By water, the Larkspur ferry lands at the SF Ferry Building, a 15 minute walk from our door.
Can I take the ferry instead of driving?+
Yes. Larkspur ferries reach the SF Ferry Building, and the Sausalito ferry takes about 30 minutes. From the Ferry Building, walk 15 minutes up The Embarcadero or ride the F streetcar to the Greenwich St stop, about 4 minutes from the studio.
Can I record an audiobook or voiceover there?+
Yes. Shure broadcast mics deliver a separated track per voice, your engineer rides levels the whole session, and the teleprompter doubles as a script display for long reads.
How many episodes can I record in one trip?+
As many as your outline holds. Hourly sessions run $450 with a 1-hour minimum, and a Creator Day from $1,200 takes both sets for a full day, enough to batch a quarter of episodes and course lessons.
When do I get my files?+
The same day. Raw 4K and separated audio tracks go onto your drive before you catch the ferry or cross the bridge home.
Take the ferry. Bring home a season.
35 minutes from San Rafael. Engineer included. Files on your drive the same day.
