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 only sounds absurd, because the world has become absurd. Give me a few bucks, 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 can talk about history, about animals, about the maritime, or we can sit under the hum of the engine and howl in the wind.
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 - though it'd be nice to not go break even.
Our Cruises and Tours
Slow Bay Cruise
A 3 hour jaunt
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
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
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
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.
