Pegasus Voyages


Our boat is a ketch rigged, heavy displacement, ocean going sailboat with the capacity for 14 guests, plus our crew.  We place heavy emphasis on safety and have never had an injury aboard or parent complaint in all of our years of operation.  Our goal is to offer not just a boat ride, but rather a singular, marine educational experience for our guests.

Voyages

East Bay Voyage 1

(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.

$675/$750

East Bay Voyage 2

(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.

$900/$1000

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.

$1350/$1500

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.

$1866/$2066

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.

$1800/$2000

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.

$2250/$2500

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.”

$900/$1000

Wedding

(4 hours, by special arrangement)

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.

$1000/$1100

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.

$1800/$2000

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.

$1000/$1100

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.
