Sound Sailing S/V BOB

"Fabulous sailing adventure with Captain Blain & Monique on S/V Bob. Sailing, whale watching, fishing (snagged halibut, prawns, king salmon, dungeness crab), sights, hikes and much more on a exquisitely appointed boat crewed by ever positive Monique and Blain. The delicious gourmet food was an unexpected surprise! Additionally, both of them are experts on region's flora and fauna. This was a world class experience revealing Alaska's full beauty -- our friends occupying the other two cabins concur! Highly recommend. Don't miss sailing SE Alaska on S/V Bob!"

"They don't give you enough stars to adequately rate Bob, Skip, Captain Blaine and Mo. Everything about our trip was unforgettable. The wildlife was amazing. From the whales (SO MANY WHALES), sea lions, sea otters, bears, eagles, and some strange pink birds just outside of Sitka. The scenery is impossible to beat, rain or shine. Tenakee Springs was a highlight. Fly fishing in an Alaskan River is an experience I will never be able to top. Blaine and Mo are magicians in the kitchen and can make anything and everything you catch taste like a 5 star meal. Salmon back home doesn't taste as good now that I've had fresh caught Alaskan Salmon. Not a day goes by where I don't think back on our trip and I hope that we get to experience Alaska again one day soon. We all miss you guys! - The Smith's, Samson's, and Murphy's."

"An unforgettable trip. Loved the food, the company, the activities and the landscape. Blain and Monique were great captains and took us on adventures to see glaciers, whales, go on hikes, catching shrimp, see a bear (from the boat), kayak…all the while getting to see SE Alaska on our own. Amazing trip! Recommend for anyone looking for a more intimate SE Alaska experience than a cruise with more activities and unique experiences. Thanks Blain and Monique!"

"BEST. SAILING. CHARTER. EVER. Alaska is magical and Blaine and Monique enthusiastically share their knowledge of the local flora and fauna. They are accomplished yachtsmen and skilled outdoors enthusiasts. The S/V Bob is a well found yacht, with nicely sized, en suite, individual cabins and generously sized common areas above and below decks. The food is an amazing, constant, gourmet delight. And Blaine and Monique are nice and fun people to be around!"

"This week long tour of S.E. Alaska was totally eye-opening for us about the breadth and incredible beauty of SE Alaska. Blain and Monique are excellent hosts; their flexibility and collaboration and humor are evident as they share each day's work. They create a very casual, welcoming atmosphere even though they're working hard to keep the trip on schedule, etc. We learned about sleeping whales - something we, as experienced NW sailors, knew nothing about! Sailing and motoring to a variety of islands brought us to beautiful hikes and beach walks. We loved the stop at Tenakee Springs - what special place. The beach fire and s'mores on the last night - with a perfect sunset - brought us back to camping days. We'd definitely come again!"
