Customized Sailing Experience & Elopements!
Perfect for weddings/elopements, photo shoots, or any special occasion!
Tell us what you're dreaming up! We can get out sailing, stop and anchor along the way, stay at the dock, or all of the above! You can bring your own food, beverages, flowers & photographer to customize as you wish.
Get out sailing.
You can enjoy the ride from anywhere on the boat. Guests are welcome to do as much raising sails, taking the helm, etc, as you feel comfortable. Be prepared for the boat to heel, or lean, up to 45 degrees while sailing into the wind, which is often heading South away from Seward. Sailing downwind is typically more level and comfortable, typically on the return sail back to Seward.
Anchoring
Stopping to anchor will allow more comfortable movement around the boat. You could have a picnic out in the cockpit, on the bow, or down below. Maybe someone wants to go for a chilly swim or inflate the stand up paddle boards?!
Anchoring with beach access
*Book the 8 hour trip for shore excursions.
Thumb Cove is the most reliable option for beach access. Thumb Cove is a picturesque and protected destination for anchoring, surrounded by 3 hanging glaciers, and easy access to beaches. It takes a sailboat 2-3 hours each way to Thumb Cove, so plan accordingly if you want to spend any time here. The beaches are great for hiking, picnics, wedding ceremonies, and provide access to hiking along waterfalls and up to a glacier! To get to shore, we will tow a dinghy along to transport guests to shore, 2-3 people at a time. We will try our best to keep you dry, but there could be wet seats, splashing, and steep shorelines that may require tall rain boots. There are a few other beach options. However, these are unprotected in the case of choppy waters and extreme wind, which can be common at times.
Staying at the dock
A great option for taking photos inside or out of the boat and ensuring that the boat will remain stable. This is also a great option for a wedding venue, allowing guests to watch from the boat or dock. At dock, your party size is not limited to only 6 people.
All trips are weather and wind dependent. We will do our best to accommodate your wishes, but it is wise to be prepared for a back-up plan such as staying tied to the dock.
Limited to 6 passengers, per our USCG captains license.
*With more than 6 guests, you could book two sailboats for a total of 12 passengers, or have another water taxi service bring others.
Need us to officiate?
Captain Kate is ordained to officiate your ceremony! She will help with the legal paperwork and planning of your ceremony and vows. We want to help make your special day as smooth as possible.
