Sailing Trips offered on S/V Encore

Encore is a 1988 Hunter 28.5

Bareboat Day Cruise

$500

*Experienced sailors can get out on the water for the day and create their own Alaskan sailing adventure. From Seward, we typically sail a close haul out of Resurrection Bay and a broad reach back, but a beam reach will give you plenty of time to soak in the scenery and ride the wind. Plan for up to 6 hours, but we understand if you need more like 8---the sun hardly sleeps in Summer!

*Sailing resume required.

*Sailing ASA 101-104 courses taught on this boat!

Bareboat Charters

Starting at $600

*Experienced sailors can getaway for an overnight or multi-night sailing adventure. Ride the wind, explore, hike, beach-comb, and chase whales.  You can anchor out in secluded coves--glamping at it's finest--or sail back to Seward and enjoy the comforts of docklife. Encore comfortably sleeps 2-4, but up to 6.

*Sailing resume required.

Farr 38

1978 Farr 38' built in New Zealand for the 1977 One Ton Cup Sailing Race!

We trailered Azzurra up from California last year. (2024).

For 2025 Charters, Azzurra is available for Day Sails & Evening Sails in Resurrection Bay, as well as being used in our sailing classes.

 For personal use, Kate and Nate are excited to race her in this season's

 William H Seward Yacht Club races!

Sporty Sailors only

For our more physically active and adventurous guests / students. 

Sailing Azzurra is a more physically active ride for those who desire being part of the crew and have a need for speed. She is the only boat in our fleet with a tiller, making her a great addition to our sailing school! With no true "seats" in the cockpit, you most likely will not be enjoying a leisure sail.  Adults 18+ only. 

Azzurra's Impressive History

This boat has the most fun, adventurous history of our fleet by farr ;) 

Proud owners over the past five decades have documented impressive journeys aboard Azzurra. She's been around the world, and was originally S/V Jenny H, built in New Zealand,1978. 

Complete history of Jenny H / Scalawag / Azzurra can be found at:

  RB Sailing.  A web site dedicated to documenting famous IOR racing.  Azzurra's refit upgrades and sail inventory are documented on this webpage. Enjoy a youtube(s) of Azzurra racing in California, 2021.
