Fun Cruises For Real Fun People
Epic Bay Cruise Co. welcomes thosee who want to be genuine in this overly complex and stimulated world.
Meet Bradley Angle, the big brain behind this simple and slow waterborne project. This boat idea may sound absurd, but only because the world has become absurd. Give me a moment of your valuable time, let me cruise you around the Bay while you drink wine or/and beer, eat a burrito, or laugh with your kids, or, you know, chill. Leave your phones behind please. I enjoy this. I love our Bay. I want to connect. I want to connect. I want sun, fog and salt spray on my skin.
I love this Bay. I miss juicy, calm and deep interactions. I have a full time job, so I'm not doing this for money - but, you know, I have kids and stuff and rent to pay.
Our Cruises and Tours
Slow Bay Cruise
A 3 hour jaunt - $75 per person ($450 for the boat)
Every cruise is unique and adjusted to whoever is aboard. Some want peace and quiet, or a scenic place to be a couple. Some want to here about Juan de Ayala, or Jack London, or the Regulatory Agencies that Manage our amazing Bay. You are covered, either way, on all trips. This voyage uses the currents, finding the most calm and effective way to commute under the Bay Bridge, along the SF Waterfront, and by Alcatraz.
Alcatraz Loop
A 2.5 Hour Hiatus - $70 per person ($380 for all 6 seats)
Not your infamous touristy BS Alcatraz experience. Bradley worked with Alctraz Rangers and staff for two years as he crewed the ferries to and from that island. This quick ride from Berkeley, around Alcatraz, is not about trivia, and it's not a way to update your status. It's a slow cruise in the heart of our beautiful Bay. Sometimes in fog. Sometimes in wind and swell. Always leaving you with an experience that I have personally come to love and crave more of.
Circumnavigate Angel Island - $90 per person ($500 for all 6 seats)
4 hours History and Access
What do you know about our Bay's largest island? About the serpentinite pond there? About the WW1 jail? The murders? Juan de Ayala? The HMS Raccoon? Richard Henry Dana Jr.? The giant brass bell - the best place to renegade camp in Northern California? Join us.
Berkeley Pier
2 hour Slow Cruise - $50 per person
Why boat to the end of an abandoned and delapated pier? Because you can. Because its a novel experience. Because the Bay is Beautiful. Because it's affordable and not time consuming. Because the crew wants to share stories and laughs. Because you can BYOB and food.
Meditations
Monday Meditations - Free
Join us each Monday at 6am for an offshore meditation, adrift about 1 mile from Berkeley Marina in San Francisco Bay. This is a minimially guided meditation and moment of silence, engines off, while floating and rocking in the cool morning breeze. The sit is 20 minutes, and the cruise is about 10 minutes in either direction. Plan on a full hour, from 6am to 7am, and expect 40 minutes off the dock. This voyage can hold 8 passengers. Tickets are required.
