What it feels like to sail Alyeska
The experience is self‑directed and nautical: you step aboard (complimentary boarding available after 6:00 p.m. the night before your charter), stow soft luggage, provision the galley and then take the helm. The Jeanneau’s furling main and headsail, electric windlass and autopilot simplify sail handling for a competent crew while onboard comforts—heater, satellite/iPod‑ready stereo and television—make time at anchor or at the dock comfortable for larger groups.
