To get out further requires rounding capes with the possibility of bigger waters and sea conditions.

Given where we are and the forces of nature, we take every precaution and prepare for safe sailing and a safe expedition up and down mountains. We will do our best to ensure the technical aspects of the boat and equipment are working, but we unfortunately cannot guarantee that we will ski everyday.What to bringSkis or Splitboard, boots, skinsPoles, helmet, gogglesShovel + probe + beaconWool Base layersPuffy/Insulating jacketHard Shell, Ski pants/bibsGloves + extra pairWool socksNeck gaiter/buffBeaniesTall waterproof boots/ Xtra TuffsSoft Ski bags can be helpful for storing skisCollapsible duffel bagHow do we get to shore?We will tow a dinghy along behind the boat, anchor safely in a nearby cove, then shuttle people and gear to shore.

Spring Ski & Sail Expedition

Resurrection Bay Sailing

We had a great time! The weather and wind didn’t really cooperate with our plans but it didn’t stop us from having a wonderful outing.  

Day Sail - Private Charter

Nate and Kate are absolutely excellent hosts who are fun to talk to and have loads of experience and wisdom to offer. I really appreciate that they have created this opportunity to rent boats in Seward, Alaska. 

We had some spicy conditions; 22 knot winds in heavy rain with rough seas and Encore was a champ, keeping us safe and getting us to our destination. The two of us were comfortable aboard. 

Nate and Kate have created a wonderful opportunity for more people to get in to the world of sailing at a reasonable price. I wish them the best of luck with their business and hope it continues to grow and I plan on being a repeat customer. 

Bareboat Charter Encore 1 Night

We had a great experience.  Good people, fun and educational.  Definitely recommend.

Highly recommend Resurrection Bay Sailing for a wonderful experience with your family.  The captain and crew were so kind to the kids in the group, ensuring they were safe but had lots of fun.  Just the right snacks were provided to all.  We adults had a completely enjoyable time.  We would do it again with our out-of-state visitors or even just us!  Great fun even on a cloudy day in Seward.

Our 5 day trip on Madrona was spectacular! We were very lucky with the weather, and saw Orcas, Humpbacks, Seals and Sea Lions, two kinds of Puffins, lots of Sea Otters and …. And …..     The mountains and glaciers were amazing and for 4 nights in Aialik Bay we were the only boats in our anchorage. 

Kate and Nate are great—very responsive and remedied the problems with Madrona before we left, making the boat quite safe and functional.

I highly recommend Resurrection Bay sailing.

Bareboat Charter Madrona 5 Nights

Kate and Sammy were amazing! We had a truly memorable experience and would recommend sailing with Rez Bay as a MUST!! Thank you so much again!! :))

Evening Sail - per person

We had such a fantastic trip with our all-female crew and my husband (who grew up sailing on the East Coast) has still not stopped raving about it! From my 76-year-old mom to my almost 2-year-old son, a great time was had by all and memories were made to last a lifetime. One thing that was really special to me was how proactive the crew was about taking photos for us, especially of my husband piloting the boat, as my hands were full with the toddler. ;) We never even had to ask, and they were out snapping photos for us, allowing us to just enjoy the moment. 

We've already recommended Rez Bay Sailing to a number of folks, and are looking forward to our next trip someday! :)

Thanks again, Ladies!!!

All the ladies on board helping us were so sweet! Very informative and provided snacks and chatted with everyone :) me and my fellow interns did this trip and we would do it again!
