We’re a month past the Summer solstice which means we are getting dark enough to have real sunsets again! This pic was taken last night at 11pm with some fireweed on the ground, and fireweed skies. Fireweed is not only gorgeous, but is a bit of an upside-down organic summer hourglass. As the summer progresses the fireweed flowers from the bottom to the top. You can see that we are about halfway through the season! As the saying goes: “When the fireweed turns to cotton, summer is soon forgotten”.

The ultimate way to visit Skagway for the day!

Since everyone else is doing Black Friday sales all month long, we figured we would jump on the bandwagon!

If you are planning a trip to Skagway in 2024, this could be the experience for you!

Our Trail and Sail is the ultimate way to see Skagway. Explore Skagway and Dyea via a self guided e-bike tour and then explore the Upper Lynn Canal on board the 50' sailing vessel - The Hopscotch.

We are offering 20% off of this tour if you use promo code "cybersail" when booking online. Promo code is good for any 2024 bookings made through November 26th!

Alaska Winter is right around the corner, but September is a magical time of year when it’s still warm enough to enjoy some amazing sailing, and it’s finally dark enough to see the Northern Lights! These shots were taken two nights ago at a beautiful anchorage on our way from Skagway to Juneau.

When I first lived in Skagway in 2011 I knew it was something special. For a sailor who loves mountains, ocean, wind, and sunshine, I don’t think there’s a better place. This year we started doing day-trips and sunset cruises! They have been so much fun for us and our guests that have joined from all over the world. Everyday we sail below glaciers, next to waterfalls, and are always surprised by some incredible Alaskan wildlife encounter! And when I say “sail”, I mean actually sailing! The unique geography (being at the end of a 100 mile fjord), and climate (cool Pacific Ocean to the South, and warm Yukon Territory to the North) make Skagway one of the most consistently windy places on earth. Big shout out to and for sending us amazing new guests everyday! We are off to Petersburg for the month of August for some amazing weeklong adventures. Stay tuned!

Ahoy Skagway! Looks like we’re in for some beautiful weather next week. Come join us on a magical overnight adventure aboard Hopscotch as we sail to Taiyasanka Harbor! We’ll anchor for the night and enjoy all the things wild Alaska has to offer…bears on the beach, goats on the cliffs, and glaciers up the valley.

We’re spending some time in Mexico this winter warming up, just like the Humpbacks! It is an incredibly weird and amazing feeling to know that we saw these same whales a few short months ago 4000 miles North of here, and we will see them again soon in the chilly, rich, gorgeous Southeast Alaskan waters!

So thankful for all these smiles and being able to share such a magical place with so many lucky people!

The wildlife this season was beyond incredible. You never know what kind of magic is around the next corner when you’re adventuring in the largest temperate rainforest on earth! Here’s one of my favorite pics from the Summer.
