There's a maritime museum by Aquatic Park that's worth a visit. We haven't lived there for several years, but I understand that the sailing center on Treasure Island is going gangbusters. They probably have boats for rent if you want to sail on the protected part of the bay (behind TI). Also, the bay model in Sausalito is well worth a visit - it's a scale model of the bay (duh) and is a great way to understand how the tides and currents work.
Take the ferry to Angel Island and go for a hike if you have time. It's not really nautical (although it was one of our favorite destinations on the boat when we lived there), but the views from the trail around the island are fabulous.
