Gallant Lady Home

Gallant Lady

is a wonderful classic 65 foot wooden vessel from 1940. Her hull is close grained fir, her upper structure teak, and her interior mahogany. As a Coast Guard certified vessel she is inspected every year for your safety.

She boasts five double cabins, two heads, a ship’s library stocked with books of fiction, area wildlife, history, and geology, a roomy wheelhouse so you can take a turn at the wheel, and level spacious decks to enjoy the clean salt air.

Bring your favorite musical instrument, book, sketchpad, or watercolors, and expect to relax against the dynamic backdrops of the Olympic Range and Cascade Mountains.

History

Built in Tacoma, Washington by the Riggs brothers. Designed for what she has been doing for over 60 years – small group accommodations for camping on the water.

Gallant Lady has had four owners, and has the unique distinction of being one of the oldest vessels in continuous service on Northwest waters. In her early days she made trips to southeastern Alaska and presently serving Puget Sound, San Juan's and Inland Passage of Vancouver Island.

Circa 1940

Our per/day charge is based on a noon to noon, 24 hour period.
