Here is a professionally crafted Groupon deal write-up for the Angel Island Cruise with SailNOW. I have structured this to match Groupon’s typical "About This Deal" format, focusing on the unique selling points, the experience, and the necessary logistics.
About Angel Island Sailing Cruise
Escape the city streets and set sail on the Excalibur, a sleek 30-foot monohull sailboat, for a premier destination cruise to the "Jewel of San Francisco Bay." This isn't just a boat ride; it’s an immersive 5-hour maritime journey that combines the thrill of sailing with the natural beauty of Angel Island State Park.
Your adventure begins in the North Bay, where you’ll join a USCG-licensed Master Mariner for a scenic sail across the blue (and sometimes famously foggy) waters. Feel the wind in your face as you pass iconic landmarks like Alcatraz and the San Francisco skyline, all while enjoying the intimacy of a small-group setting (typically 4–6 passengers maximum).
- A 5-Hour Guided Sailing Cruise: Plenty of time to learn the ropes or simply relax on deck.
- Angel Island Stopover: We’ll dock at the island, giving you time for a picnic lunch, a scenic hike, or to enjoy live local music and dining at the Ayala Cove cafe.
- Small-Group Intimacy: Skip the crowded ferries for a personalized, semi-private experience.
- Breathtaking Photo Ops: Unrivaled views of the Golden Gate Bridge, Tiburon, and the Bay Bridge from a unique vantage point on the water.
- Where we sail: Trips typically depart from Berkeley or Richmond (exact dock provided upon booking).
- What to bring: Layered clothing is a must (it gets chilly on the water!), non-marking soft-soled shoes, sunscreen, and your favorite lunch/snacks to enjoy on the island.
- Availability: Typically operates weekends and Mondays; check the SailNOW website for current schedule.
- Reservations: Required at least 48 hours in advance. Subject to weather conditions; trips may be rescheduled in the event of major storms.
- Requirements: Must be 13 or older. Participants must follow all current safety and health protocols as directed by the Captain.
- Not included: Angel Island State Park entrance fees (if applicable) and food/beverages are not provided. Alcohol is permitted in moderation.
