Adventure Cruises in the San Juan Islands

YOUR SAILBOAT CHARTER IN THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS

Imagine.  The name of your schooner is SPIKE AFRICA.  She is a fine and beautiful wooden vessel.  She may be the last wooden freighting schooner constructed that saw freight service up and down the western coast of the United States.

Mast and rigging on Spike AfricaFor centuries people have taken to the sea, to make their living, to explore new worlds, many simply for the thrill of the sail. The ships changed and evolved over millennia. By 1698 the iconic schooner rig had been developed.

Since then, the schooner proved herself worthy and became the vessel of choice for coastal trading, a tough combat competitor, and often the boat of choice for exploration.  Our schooner SPIKE AFRICA is one of the very few remaining working schooners.

Come share an adventure of your own aboard a classic windjammer and experience the fun and excitement of traditional sail for yourself.

Schooners North Adventure Cruise

Relax and enjoy the natural beauty and breathtaking scenery, or take part in running the ship. Our experienced and friendly crew is always happy to share their knowledge and love of sailing.

Join other guests for an afternoon or an extended cruise.

Or make her your own on a PRIVATE CHARTER.

Seeing the San Juan islands and the Canadian gulf islands from the deck of a beautiful wooden schooner gives you a special perspective into this lovely area of the Salish Sea. You’ll share the waters with whales, porpoise, seals, sea lions, otters and a myriad of sea birds. Learn about them and their habitat from our on-board naturalists.

For extended overnight cruises, we anchor in lovely quite coves or spend the night in small town harbors or at big city wharfs. Your choice on a private charter.

Spike_Africa_restoration1SCHOONER SPIKE AFRICA has been completely restored over the last 10 years. Using the finest timbers and materials, talented shipwrights, headed by Alan Meyers, all with many decades of experience in the yards working on wooden ships.  This team of craftsmen devoted their winters to Spike Africa. New sails were built by Wayne Chamenti who has made sails for many tall ships over the decades.

Spike Africa now continues her working career, her heritage as a commercial, wooden schooner takes us back through centuries of travel and adventure to experience the real lure of the sea.

Our voyages depart from Friday Harbor and offer San Juan Island sailing day trips of two, three, six and 8 hours as well as multiple day adventures, special events and private charters.
