The Spanish Armada was one of the largest fleets ever assembled, mostly due to the number of ships tasked with leading tours of "The World's Largest Fleet!" Bask in buoyant sightseeing with today's Groupon: for $300, you get one of three cruise packages for up to 20 people from Rendezvous Charters (up to a $600 value). Tours depart from Pier 40 of the South Beach Harbor. Customers may also choose to opt out of a preselected package and instead apply the $600 value of their Groupon toward a privately scheduled charter on Rendezvous Charters' Yukon Jack or Bay Lady.

Congregate sea-legged comrades for a scenic roundabout along San Francisco Bay aboard the Bay Lady, the largest U.S. Coast Guard–certified schooner in Northern California that recently was updated with new sails and repainted. Friday and Saturday afternoons, up to 20 passengers watch with admiration as the fiery sun melts into the ocean during a sunset cruise, a relaxing two-hour sail up the city front and out toward Alcatraz for brief glimpses of the hybrid hawk-people roosting along its shore (a $600 value). Lycanthropic groups avoid moonlit metamorphoses on the Sunday-afternoon sail, which follows same route as the sunset cruise from 3 to 5 p.m. in the afternoon (a $600 value). Complimentary chips, assorted nuts, and other munchies accompany peeper feasts alongside saltwater spritzes from passing waves or beer, wine, and soft drinks purchased at the cash bar. During decadent Sunday-brunch trips, 13 passengers can toss back assorted pastries, bagels, fresh fruit, cheeses, and meats as they see the sights, rinsing down rations with orange juice, hot french-roast coffee, and tea seized from careless Revolutionary War reenactors (a $585 value).
