Frequently Asked Questions

---

We love sailing and want to bring our adventures to everyone who wants to join. We added a fixed price to help offset boat costs. The skipper will not earn any money from these trips.  At the end of the season we will donate leftover proceeds to a local youth sailing program.

Our new pricing model includes the charter costs, food (for overnight trips only), diesel and harbor fees (if applicable). There shouldn't be any additional costs other than what you need for yourself. 

Not included and at the expense of the participant: the travel to and from the boat location where the cruise is starting/ending. 

Our cruises are active sailing event on the water. You will need to pack accordingly. Cold weather or cold breeze on the water is to be expected. Besides good outdoor gear like trousers, jackets, fleeces, and undergarments, you will need foul weather gear (trousers and jackets), good sailing boots, hats, and gloves. We will provide you with a life jacket and harness.

You don't need to have sailing experience for our day sails and base level adventure cruises. Outdoor experience and/or sailing experience is however recommended. For all other cruises basic sailing experience is required.  

This depends on your dietary restrictions. It is difficult to accommodate different dietary restrictions on a small vessel. Please contact us to evaluate your situation before you book your trip.

The weather in Alaska can change rapidly. You will need to expect rain and fog on a regular basis. The early season May - July is more dry than August / September. 

It is possible that weather changes will cause us to stay in port for a few days longer or even cancel a planned cruise. We  adjusted our overnight cruises as needed but we rarely cancel or refund because of bad weather.

On overnight cruises we may achor out. When at anchor, you have time to relax, take in the scenery, and do whatever you want. We also have kayaks on board that can be used to either explore the surroundings or even go ashore where it is possible. In many cases, we will lose cell service once we are out in the ocean. So bring or download a book or two since you won't have access to the internet.
