Beer Tasting Cruises on Epiphany

Your Beer Tasting Experience

Step aboard Epiphany, a spacious and stable modern catamaran designed for comfort, connection, and panoramic Chesapeake Bay views. With her wide beam, open layout, and thoughtfully arranged seating areas, Epiphany provides the perfect setting for a relaxed and elevated craft beer tasting on the water.

Guests can settle into abundant cushioned seating in shaded front and rear cockpit areas, complete with dining tables ideal for tastings, or lounge at the bow in reclining captain’s chairs and comfy beanbags for a front-row view of the sails. Many guests enjoy stretching out on the trampoline, feeling the breeze, and watching the water glide beneath them while sampling each brew. Whether you’re here to unwind or explore new flavors, Epiphany offers a smooth, comfortable, and engaging tasting experience.

Depart from the charming harbor of historic St. Michaels and enjoy a brief harbor cruise, including views of the 1879 Hooper Strait Lighthouse, before sailing onto the scenic Miles River. As you glide across peaceful Chesapeake Bay waters, savor a curated selection of six craft beers featuring a variety of styles and flavor profiles, thoughtfully chosen to create a memorable tasting journey.
