Pacific Grace

Step aboard a living tribute to the North Atlantic’s fishing legends. The Pacific Grace is a masterful recreation of the iconic Grand Banks schooners, built with the grit of a 19th-century workboat and the precision of modern craftsmanship. Launched in Victoria, BC, this 175-ton schooner is a sight to behold, featuring a glossy black hull and a towering 120-foot rig that commands respect in every harbor. Why choose the Pacific Grace? This ship is the ultimate classroom for those who want to feel the power of traditional sail. On a Pacific Grace voyage, you aren't just a passenger; you are an integral part of the watch. You’ll learn the complex choreography of a gaff rig—raising the massive mainsail, navigating the intricate Gulf Islands, and keeping watch under the vast Pacific stars. The onboard experience is defined by "Mug Up" sessions (evening storytelling with fresh treats) and the deep camaraderie of a working crew. Whether you're exploring the turquoise waters of the Salish Sea or navigating the rugged North Coast, the Grace offers a profound escape from the digital world. Perfect for students, history buffs, and those craving a "bucket-list" maritime challenge, booking a berth on the Pacific Grace is your chance to sail a masterpiece.
