PRIVATE CHARTERS

Please note: We will only sail the Seawitch this coming season and she can accommodate 6 passengers.


Spike_Africa_fullsail

Imagine a sailboat charter where your private yacht is the beautifully restored, wooden schooner Spike Africa. She is the last of her kind  …a”tall ship” ….a one-time working freighting-schooner that served ports up and down the west coast of the United States.

At 80 feet long, Spike Africa is a celebrity in her own right…a wooden design in an age of fiberglass.

In her career Spike Africa has been pictured in magazines such as Vogue, Time, Wooden Boat and the Land’s End catalogue. You’ve seen her in TV shows. You saw her crewed by Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in “Joe vs. the Volcano.”

And she is standing by to carry you and your guests on a custom-designed, unforgettable adventure.

Her home is Friday Harbor, a remote village in the famous San Juan Islands of Washington State. But, she can meet you wherever you like.  The inland waterway of Puget Sound gives her access to the world, from Seattle to Victoria BC., to Alaska or Hawaii.  She’s been there before. She and her seasoned crew will inspire to you create the cruise most people only dream of.

From a simple over-night… to a year long voyage.

Her 10-year restoration is complete.

Spike Africa is ready for you.

Days can be spent sailing or, when we find a special cove, laying over for the day to relax, fish, sail our small boards, gather oysters, catch crabs, discover the local wildlife, or lay in the sun on the beach.  Camping is an option in many spectacular coves.

If you choose to sail north, we can focus the cruises on the San Juan Islands and the Canadian Gulf Islands. Going further north, Desolation Sound and Princess Lousia Inlet are spectacular options.

Evenings can be spent, either in quiet coves at anchor, docking in small harbors for “local color” or an evening in Vancouver BC, Victoria BC, Bellingham or other towns. If you choose to sail south, the entire Puget sound is open for exploration. this is a more developed area, with small and large towns; quieter bays and inlets; and historic maritime harbors (i.e. Port Townsend, Port Hadlock, etc.).
