Welcome to Gypsy Wind Charters

Welcome Aboard! Welcome to our website, here you can learn about your next Alaskan adventure.  I have spent a few years in Alaska and have enjoyed taking all kinda of people out into the majestic Alaskan wildness.  I enjoy fishing for giant salmon either in the ocean or in the many streams where you can also catch trout, dolly varden and arctic char.  Or go out in the inside passage to catch ling cod, rock fish and try our luck at crab and shrimp!  Alaska is a very special place.

Welcome, glad you made it.  Gypsy Wind is more than a boat, it’s a lifestyle. Our experienced crew has a dream, to share the most wonderful places this planet has to offer, with people who want to explore it as much as we do.  We’ve been encouraged to document our journey, because it’s about as far off the path as you can get.

This blog will help us share our trials and accomplishments, our stumbles and blind leaps.  I hope that any and all who happen across this site, find  something interesting and maybe even stoke the flames to get out there, and see the world.

By far one of the best things I have ever done in my life! Alaska was an extraordinary adventure that mixed a good amount of both leisure and adventure. I wouldn’t hesitate if asked to do it again! By the way amazing culinary skills!!

The Gypsy Wind is a truly movable feast that includes 3 wonderful cabins. Everyday with the both of you is a new adventure, complete with gourmet meals, expert sailing, fishing that brings new bounty to our table and conversation that intrigues and delights.

Vacations are mostly an exhausting experience that leaves you unprepared to return to normal life.  Gypsy Wind offers new vistas, experience’s, and adventure but gives us the time to just stare at the ocean, take a nap, kayak and share time with our boat friends.

As we write this we have been onboard a week. Its almost time to leave and we will miss everyone. And yes we are eager to sail again, but we are also relaxed and clear headed. Ready for real life, but dreams of Gypsy Wind and her amazing crew.

We wanted a small boat adventure in Southeast Alaska, and wow, did we have one aboard Gypsy Wind, complete with four kayaks and a skiff for onshore hikes and kayak glides through glacier inlets. We saw whales, seals, eagles, bears and running salmon, all up front and personal. The forest walks were amazing! The four of us had private accommodations and bathrooms, and we were so comfortable on the boat. The meals were prepared by a culinary arts graduate, Brittany, and were absolutely luscious. Fresh salmon, seafood chowders, chocolate mousse and homemade rolls – every meal was delicious. The crew of three are our new best friends! Strap on your gummy boots and go!!! Shooting as a professional, the close access to this wonderland was a gift, and I am winding my way through the 4000 images I took, and will post some of those soon. Special thanks to Brittany and Jonathan, our pilot, whose understanding of the 25 foot tides was invaluable in getting us where we wanted to go.
