The Board of Pilot Commissioners for the Bays of San Francisco, San Pablo and Suisun licenses and regulates maritime pilots who guide vessels entering or leaving those bays. The seven members of the Board are appointed by the Governor with the consent of the Senate. All expenses of the Board (except for pilot training) are funded by a surcharge on pilotage fees set by the Board. Pilot training programs are funded by a separate surcharge on vessel movements.
