Historic Schooner Zodiac Craft Beer Sailings

Have you ever wanted to sail the San Juan Islands or the Puget Sound? The historic Schooner Zodiac has announced two multi-day brewery tours during its 2015 summer sailing season. The Bellingham based tall ship will embark on a 4-day brewery expedition of the San Juan Islands in July of 2015 and is followed up with a 3-day transit from Bellingham to Seattle exploring the breweries in north Puget Sound in August.

The 4-day Brewery Expedition in the San Juan Islands takes place from July 9th through 12th. Tours begin at $915.00 per person that includes a standard bunk, all meals along with beer tastings at Anacortes Brewery and Island Hoppin’ Brewery on Orcas Island. While docked in Friday Harbor, passengers will also be taken to the Cask and Schooner Pub.

The Brewery Cruise to Seattle sets sail from August 15th to 17th. Tours for this sail begin at $695.00 per person that includes a standard bunk, all meals along with beer tastings at Anacortes Brewery, Diamond Knot Brewery in Mukilteo and Fremont Brewing in Seattle.

Passage on both cruises includes all meals prepared by a professional chef in the ship’s galley. Passengers on the Zodiac have the option of participating in the sailing of the ship as well as learning to navigate, stand watch and steer the vessel. More information can be found at schoonerzodiac.com and reservations can be made by calling (206) 719-7622.

The Zodiac is a classic, 160-foot U.S. Coast Guard certified vessel, operated by a licensed captain and experienced team of volunteer crewmembers. She departs her Bellingham homeport for a variety of public and private charters, as well as day and evening sails from spring through fall, exploring the pristine anchorages of the San Juan Islands and Canadian Gulf Islands. Zodiac also is an ideal setting for company events, wedding receptions and gatherings of family and friends.
