What To Bring
Weather and Environment
Even on a warm and sunny day, the bay wind and waves always make it colder on the boat. You also need to be prepared for sudden changes in the weather.
Common sense and our experience taking thousands of voyagers on Pegasus suggest that you bring/wear the following items:
We suggest that you dress to be sweating at the dock. You will be glad the moment you exit the breakwater. If you are too hot, you can always remove a layer.
Food and Drink
You may bring your own lunch and soft drinks
or water (plastic bottles only, no glass).
We suggest that you bring something simple to eat like a power bar or
a pre-cooked burrito or crackers, and a plastic (no glass) bottle of water.
We do not allow any drugs including alcohol on Pegasus.
Alcohol makes passengers unbalanced on their feet, even in small quantities.
It also is a great way to get seasick (a word we never mention aboard Pegasus).
Medications are permitted, but the captain must be advised and approve medications
before departure, including anti-seasickness medications.
However, we do not recommend anti-seasickness drugs inside the Bay.
The Doubletree
Hotel in the Marina is glad to prepare picnic boxed lunches for you
with advance notice.
Seabreeze Market and Deli,
on University Avenue at the entrance to the Marina just west of the freeway, offers take-away food and deli options.
Mi Tierra Foods at 2082 San Pablo Avenue, one block south of University at the corner of Addison Street in Berkeley
(tel. 510-540-8946), offers great Mexican takeaway, such as burritos.
Post-Voyage Dining
After your voyage, we recommend Skates
On the Bay Restaurant, a short walk from Pegasus's berth in the
Marina. Skates has excellent food (and that alcoholic drink that you may
want now that you are back on land).
Call (510) 549-1900 or click
here to reserve at Skates.
Alternatively, you may want to tackle a steak, in which case we recommend
Hana
Japan Steakhouse, which is right at the head of K Dock where you will
depart from Pegasus.

Slip K128, K Dock, Berkeley Marina, 125 University Ave., Berkeley
There is a trade-off between looking cool and staying warm. Staying warm is the primary objective. On San Francisco Bay in the winter, it can be cold out there. In summer, it can be even colder because of wind chill on the skin and the foggy air that cools the wind.
