Boat Drinks

July 16, 2014 9:00 am EDT

Because yachting the Bay is always a good thing — and an even better thing with top shelf hooch — there’s this:

“I’m on a Boat,” a rarefied booze cruise featuring an extremely limited guest list and more than twenty homegrown craft distillers and brewers, embarking next month with tickets on sale this morning.

From the guys who brought you the sold-out-in-minutes Whiskey Train, “I’m on Boat” takes place on Hornblower’s San Francisco Spirit.

Three decks. Two marble dance floors. Three bars.

Your crowd: only 300 imbibers — well under the Spirit’s capacity.

Meaning elbow room.

You’ve got about the time it takes to blink to snag your boarding pass.

Still not exclusive enough?

Be sure to pony up for the VIP whiskey lounge.

Because even better can be improved.
