What Happens to Our Vessels in Winter?

A behind-the-scenes look at the work that happens between seasons

The season is nearly here.

Before we return to Southeast Alaska, we wanted to share a closer look at what the winter months actually hold.

For many years, our off-season operations were based in Reedsport, Oregon. This winter, we moved north to Nautical Landing, which now serves as our working harbor.

The shift brings us closer to Alaska, where our vessels spend the season, and places us within one of the country’s most active maritime hubs. It also puts us within reach of our reservations office in Poulsbo, Washington—home base for voices many guests know well, including Miri and Donna.

Inside our 6,000-square-foot warehouse, the off-season took shape. Tools, woodwork, parts, and planning all moving at once as we prepared both vessels for the season ahead.

This move opens up new horizons for our fleet in the years ahead.
