East Bay Voyage (3 hours)
From the Berkeley Marina, we head out to the end of Berkeley Pier and
northwest toward Angel Island; if the tides and wind permit, around Southampton
Shoal and back to K-dock. Morning is calmer and warmer. Afternoon in summer
is an intense introduction to the East Bay.
East Bay Voyage (4 hours)
With an extra hour, we can get either to Point Blunt of Angel Island across
the shipping channel or into the east end of Racoon Straits, and back
to Berkeley. Or, we can heave to for lunch in the lee of Angel Island,
and head home with the wind behind us.
Island Circumnavigation (6 hours, by special arrangement)
Around Angel Island, Treasure/Yerba Buena Island, or Alcatraz Island.
We won't be stopping on shore, but you will see an island from all angles,
like Juan de Ayala, the first Spanish explorer to enter and map the bay
in 1775 in his ship, the San Carlos.
Angel
Island Ayala Voyage (8 hours)
We offer the only direct access to Angel Island from the East Bay. We
will tie up at Ayala Cove on the north coast of Angel Island (availability
of dock permitting), allowing you to roam the island, see the Museum,
grab a cappuccino, ride a bike, tram around the island. After boarding,
we head west up Racoon Straits and along the west coast of Angel Island
to the SF foreshore before broad reaching back to Berkeley.
Golden Gate Voyage (8 hours)
This is the big one: Depending on tide and wind, roughly 23 nautical miles
of sailing. You will see ships, seals, bird life, and the ultimate experience,
the Golden Gate from below, as you pass under it going out to sea, and
then again, coming back under as you head for the San Francisco shoreline,
past Alcatraz and Treasure Islands, and back to Berkeley.
Three Bridges Voyage (10 hours)
Some people just want it all. This voyage takes you under all three bridges
of the North Bay — first the Richmond-San Rafael bridge, then via
Racoon Straits the Golden Gate, then via the San Francisco shoreline the
Bay Bridge,
then back to Berkeley across the Emeryville Flats.
Zen Voyage (4 hours, by special arrangement)
Captains Rosie Kuhn and Paul Kassatkin remind us that, like the gentle
tug of the tides, the ocean draws us back to our spiritual selves. By
learning to sense the rhythm of the sea, to feel the motion of the vessel,
and to listen to our inner voice, we will use gentle and simple exercises
to help you find your "inner sailor."
Wedding (4 hours, by special arrangement)
What better place to tie the knot than at sea? We will heave to while
a marriage celebrant ties your knot. At the end of your wedding voyage,
you will each receive a gift Nantucket turkshead rope bracelet.
Ash Scattering, Kirby Cove (8 hours)
We will take you to Kirby Cove just outside the Golden Gate, where the
powerful tidal currents will carry your loved one's ashes swiftly out
to sea.
Naturalist East Bay Voyage (4 hours)
The East Bay is full of wildlife — above, on, and below the water.
We will show you current boundaries: floating ecosystems that move
around the bay with the currents. We will show you birds, marine mammals,
and whatever else pops up. We will also help you visualize the Bay before
humans rebuilt it.
Voyage-By-Design
With some notice, we can design a voyage for you. We can pick you up at
a remote location or vary the arrival and departure hours. We can even
do overnight voyages.
Contact us and we will help you design
your voyage on the Bay.
