Part Two: The Ursa Major reimagined by local artist and salmon fisherman Tom Crestodina!

 

Local artist and salmon fisherman Tom Crestodina has just completed his second collection of  drawings of the Ursa Major.  This time, Tom focused on the interior and exterior layout, and brought attention to the tiniest details in our staterooms, including our unique main deck level “skylights”.

 

We have added “Deck Plan“, and “Guest Staterooms” sections to our website, which contain Tom’s new set of Ursa Major drawings in full detail.

Trawler Training Adventures Aboard the Ursa Major

Happy New Year everyone!  For the past 17 charter seasons aboard the Ursa Major, we had have a wide variety of trawler and boating enthusiasts join us for our annual “Trawler Training Trips” through the Inside Passage between Seattle, Washington, and Alaska.  Over a period of 14 days, we transit through beautiful British Columbia at a speed of approximately 7.5 knots, and teach interested participants how to safety navigate the famous Inside Passage with its astounding tides and breathtaking scenery. 

For more information on our “Trawler Training Trips“, please visit our webpage dedicated to these wonderful trips.  And click HERE for our 2017 schedule.  Our new 2018 schedule is now available online by clicking HERE. 

 

And since we began our “Trawler Training Trips“, a number of our guests have gone on to pursue their own cruising dreams by purchasing their own boat.  Recently, Josh and I sat down to compile a complete list of these adventurers from the past seventeen years.  Here are three of our current favorite adventures in progress:
