Volunteers and staff are trained and dedicated to providing the best possible program. Our on-board staff includes a Coast Guard licensed captain and first mate, a program director, and as many as seven volunteers who help teach and crew. We strive towards gender balance aboard the ship. The main cabin sleeps 16 and the forward cabin sleeps 12. On a typical six-day trip, we generally make one shore stop for showers.
Meals are vegetarian and served family style buffet from the galley.
Group Size and Age The Sound Explorations program invites youth and adult groups ages 12 and over to sail with us. Programs operate April through October. Weekend trips are available throughout the season based on our schedule. We are able to serve 25 youth or up to 23 adults for overnight programs. The ship travels throughout Puget Sound with varied itineraries depending on constraints of weather and tide.
