Event Charters on a Tall Ship
How can one make an event really special? Consider the life time of memories you will create with a special event charter aboard an 80-foot wooden schooner as it cruises among the world famous San Juan Islands.
Whether it be a wedding party or a reunion, schooner Spike Africa and her crew are here to help you create a one-of-a-kind event. Memorable voyages are what Schooners North is all about.
Half and full day charters are available for 2 or 28 guests.
You may have in mind a site-seeing or whale watching cruise for a family reunion? Or as part of a business retreat? Or perhaps a wedding ceremony aboard ship? (In the nautical tradition, our captain is licensed by the state to perform the ceremony.)
Would you like your cruise to be a catered affair? We have a relationship with one of the best restaurants in town, The Cast & Schooner. Whether it be gourmet sandwiches or something more elaborate, the friendly staff at Schooners North and The Cast & Schooner are ready to assist you with creative ideas.
We’re happy to answer any questions. Call our office at 360-378-2224.
Your vessel is the Schooner Spike Africa, the last commercial freighting schooner to ply the Pacific Coast.
Since her days as a cargo vessel, Spike Africa has been outfitted for comfort. She is in tip top shape following a 10-year complete restoration. You’ll enjoy classic day sailing at its finest.
The San Juan Islands are unrivaled for their scenic splendor and abundant wildlife. From the mouth of Puget Sound, Spike Africa shares the inland Salish Sea with one of the largest concentrations of Orca Whales in the world.
That’s only the beginning of your unique Adventure. Your crew is friendly, knowledgeable, and exceeds the highest Coast Guard standards. Try your had at the helm.
Help hoist the main sail. Or just take in all the vistas from the deck of this traditional wooden schooner.

Full Day Sails (6 hrs.) give us the time to reach the open waters of the Haro Straights where Orcas spend their summer.
