Join a guest crew of just 12 fellow sailors on a voyage to Alaska from Hawaii on this Pacific Ocean sailing adventure.
Embark on an extraordinary voyage bound for the remote and enigmatic Aleutian Islands, departing amidst a backdrop of tropical allure. The journey commences with Dutch Harbor as the gateway to the rugged landscapes of Alaska, where tales of fisheries and maritime adventures abound.
Covering a considerable distance between Hawaii and Dutch Harbor, the aim is to maximize time amidst the Aleutians’ captivating scenery. Setting sail from the Hawaiian archipelago, the crew will navigate the Northeast trade winds, charting a course as far northward as possible. As summer unfolds, you’ll bid farewell to the trade winds, embracing the dynamic influence of high-pressure systems—a thrilling prospect for ocean sailors.
Amidst these vast waters, encounters with Northern right whales, humpbacks, and majestic orcas are a possibility, adding a touch of wildlife spectacle to the journey.
This oceanic odyssey embodies the essence of a true transoceanic crossing, spanning over 2000 miles of open seas.
Anticipate a voyage lasting approximately 14 to 16 days, where each day brings forth its own rhythm of watchkeeping, sail adjustments, and weather monitoring.
From the exhilaration of setting topsails to the tranquility of nocturnal watches, every moment is a testament to teamwork and seamanship.
As you sail through diverse weather zones, the ever-changing wildlife offers glimpses of the untamed beauty of the North Pacific. Prepare for unparalleled exploration as the crew venture into the lesser-traveled realms of the Aleutian Islands. Here, amidst landscapes untouched by many yachts, encounters with roaming otters, along with unexpected sightings of cows and sheep on remote isles, await their discovery.
From scenic hikes to moments of quiet contemplation, the Aleutians promise a tapestry of experiences that transcend the ordinary.
Embark on this voyage of a lifetime and immerse yourself in the raw and untamed beauty of the North Pacific.

Accommodation
There are 6 cabins, each for 2 persons. The cabins are situated in the middle of the ship, which makes them as stable as possible.
Your bunk is inside one of the two person cabins. Your bed will be either the high or the lower bed of a bedbunk. All beds are over 80cm wide and 2 meters long. Each bed has a reading light for the evening hours.
The cabins are ensuite. In a wet cell you will find a shower, of course with hot and cold water, and a toilet, that when possible flushes with outside water. In the cabin itself you will find a fountain and mirror. Your clothing can be stored in closet and your bag or suitcase can be stored under the bed.
Meals
On board the crew we do not work with a set menu. The menu is developed on board with influences of her surroundings. We try and cook with as many local fresh products as possible, this means that around the Canary Islands we eat a lot of tapas, peppers, plantanas (banana’s). In Brazil we eat a lot of fresh fruit, cow meat and rice. And around the North Sea, when it gets colder you will find some ‘stamppot’ (Dutch mashes potatoes specialty) with smoked sausage on your plate.
During a longer stay on board you will hardly ever see the same dish come by. Most of our meals are served with a salad or fruit on the side. During longer trips we take good care of our vegetables and fruit to ensure that you will enjoy fresh food as long as possible.
If you have an allergy or cannot eat certain food, please contact us with your dietary concerns. We provide a healthy menu were you will have enough choice.
We do not provide a vegan diet and on certain voyages we do not provide a lactose intolerant or gluten free diet.
We do provide sweet, savoury, hot and sometimes somewhat fat delicious food, but there is always a healthy choice next to it.

Tour operator
An old Herring drifter (Logger) built in 1915, the ship is 28 meters long over deck (38 meters overall) and takes 16 trainees on her voyages. No previous sailing experience is needed and experienced and new sailors love her equally.
A family of four professional sailors have owned and run this vessel since 2006 and sail her with true passion. Built for the North Sea she’s a fast sailor and her rigging is as traditional as it gets.
We love that the boat’s appearance is kept as traditional as possible yet combined with modern techniques and equipment. Everyone on board is part of the informal sail training program that is designed to get the best out of everyone whether you join for 2 days or a longer ocean crossing.
On September 13th she and her crew were the first traditional sailing ship to complete the North West Passage after Roald Admundsen with his ship Goya in 2013.
