“Taking a bunch of scientists out into the middle of the Pacific is not an easy task, and folks not familiar with the ways of the sea make it more difficult.

Best food I've had at sea.” - Dan L., Test Director RiptideAS, March 2017

The food was lovely, the beds were comfortable, the showers were clean (with hot water!), and I loved all the views and islands. I was so confident in Ron's awareness of our safety that I never felt concerned. They were positive, supportive and really kind. I would love to charter this boat again and again. It is the perfect experience for any level of familiarity with boats as well as a truly magical way to experience the San Juan islands and all of their wildlife. The sunsets, the company and the accommodations are unforgettable.” -Tressa Y., Aug. 2016

“Wow! This is the first time in many, many years that I had time off I could actually describe as a vacation. Ashley and Ron made our experience on the Zephyr exceptional. It is very comfortable, clean, quiet, and is great for family and friends. You can't go wrong with the Zephyr. We had a party of 4 and had plenty of room. The bunk beds were perfect and plenty comfy and warm. Very, very quiet. I'm 6'2" and stretched all the way out and was barely touching the end. Same with the onboard shower. Had to duck just slightly. The Zephyr is solid. It did not move when waves came in. Plenty of table space and all of the appliances you need. Plenty of room in the fridge. Very accommodating.  The Zephyr gave us what we needed” - Stephen W., Oct. 2015

Her friendly, quick responses set the tone for a relaxing worry free stay. The boat is GREAT! It is very solid. The bunks seem much larger in than the pictures. The galley is large. The living space is comfortable. We loved everything about Zephyr. It's accommodations can't be beat. It was clean, well provisioned, and quiet. We got more than we thought we would, so it was an absolute joy to experience.” - Michael B, Sept. 2015

“Ashley is amazing. Zephyr, it is the most incredible place. The boat is huge, with a huge deck for relaxing and looking out over. The inside is enormous- there is a full kitchen, with all appliances, a full living room, big screen TV, stereo, a shelf full of movies and books, and you name it. Downstairs in the sleeping quarters are 8 bunk beds, and TWO bathrooms! Maybe it was the ever-so-slight movement of the water but my girlfriend and I got some of the best sleep we've gotten in years on the boat. Man, oh man, oh man. I'll be staying again, this time bringing as much friends or family as I can muster. There is no other experience like the Zephyr. I was a bonafide captain for a weekend.” - William B., Sept. 2015

“Absolutely unique, exactly as described. Staying aboard the Zephyr is taking a step back into American History. You cannot beat the accommodations and amenities for the price. Our family had a wonderful stay, and quite frankly found it hard to peel away from the ship, as it is so easy to get lost in R&R enjoying the beautiful view. In retrospect had we known, we would've booked our 6 nights aboard the Zephyr. Could not be more pleased.” - Oscar H., July 2015

“The Zephyr is a wonderful vessel, comfortable and relaxing. I slept 10 hour nights – haven't done that in a long time. The evenings on deck were magical!
