A spokesman for the Golden Gate Ferry said the boat was coming from Larkspur and was carrying 53 passengers when it hit a spot on the outside before hitting another dock.
The hull of the ship was damaged when it hit the concrete walkway and struck a guardrail. The Coast Guard said that it had been reported that two minor injuries had not required any treatment other than first aid.
According to witness Tiffany Dennis, the crash triggered panic among a crowd of people having dinner and shopping on the waterfront.
