The MV Catalyst is open to the public on Sunday, May 4, 2008 from 2-4pm at the Friday Harbor Marina. This is an opportunity to explore this historic former Friday Harbor Labs workboat before she sails for the Inside Passage on the 5th for charters in SE Alaska. She'll be home in the fall for charters in the San Juan Islands and to Princess Louisa Inlet in British Columbia. The local trips in the San Juans will focus on the northern islands, with short travel days and lots of time for kayaking and shore activities. The Princess Louisa trip will have longer runs, leaving from Friday Harbor, we will pass through British Columbia's Gulf Islands, across Georgia Strait and then to the end of one of the more classic and most beautiful fjords in the world, Princess Lousisa Inlet. Even though the travel days will be longer, we will allow for two nights at the end of the inlet, to allow time for kayaking, hiking and Chatterbox Falls.

In 2008 we have berths available for our seven day Southeast Alaska Wilderness Discoveries cruise between Juneau and Petersburg, our Adventures in Discovery trip from Petersburg to Wrangell, our ten day Southern Inside Passage north bound from Friday Harbor to Ketchikan, our twelve day Great Bear Rainforest and Southern Inside Passage trip from Ketchikan to Friday Harbor, Washington and our fall trips in the San Juan/Gulf Island Archipelago, which are flexible and may be from three to ten day trips, including private charters and wedding parties. In 2009 we will add to our Southeast Alaska adventures: Glacier Bay between Juneau and Bartlett Cove and Prince of Wales Island between Petersburg and Craig. We are already booking for 2009.

MV Catalyst is available for whole boat custom charters, as well as offering its itineraries as individual cabins and whole boat charters. We travel with no more than 12 passengers and a three to five person crew.

Pacific Catalyst II, Inc. is authorized to operate in the Tongass National Forest and Glacier Bay National Park and Reserve by special use permits from the USDA Forest Service and the National Park Service. We also have arranged protocol agreements with the First Nations in British Columbia.
