The experience of a cruise in the San Juan Islands and the ship Spike Africa is filled with history, adventure, and romance. Close your eyes, and you’ll hear the wind in the rigging and the water against a wooden hull, smell and taste the fresh salt air, and feel the gentle motion of the boat as she glides through the sea. These sensations have are shared among seafarers since the dawn of sail. Our sail cruises depart from Friday Harbor and return to the same port.
