Overnights & Multi Day Charters

Are you ready to really experience what sailing is all about? Step aboard and take off on a voyage that you won’t be able to stop thinking about for years to come. Alchemy is a throwback to a bygone era when things were simple. This is why we voyage on sailboats after all isn’t it? Southern California offers incredible diversity as to the adventures we can go on. Catalina is absolutely gorgeous and as relaxing as it gets. Only a 26 mile sail away but you will swear you were lost on your favorite island in the Caribbean. The Channel Islands are rugged and remote - a true adventure - with world class surf, diving, fishing, and one of the worlds largest sea caves. We can even keep things simple - a short sail to a nearby harbor where we’ll pick up a mooring and leave you and your honey alone for the evening to enjoy a dinner by the glow of the brass oil lamp and a romantic evening on a gently rocking boat. No matter what you decide on, your morning coffee as you gaze out over the anchorage watching the world come to life… the best of your life.

Alchemy is a simple boat by design and that is part of what makes her so special. You will not have ensuite heads and showers will be solar. Or ashore. The toilet is of the composting variety. She has three single berths and one large double with an outdoor cockpit that can be converted to a stargazing double. This makes her luxurious for two, comfortable for four, and cozy for six. If you require luxury hotel accommodations and long hot showers every day, staying aboard might not be your cup of tea. We do however have shoreside hotel options that make for an equally amazing time. This is not to say that she is not comfortable, quite the contrary. She is a vessel that encourages you to take a step back in time and appreciate the important things in life. She takes you back to a day when living a little simpler made life vastly richer. Through the site we have curated some of our favorite destinations but if you have an idea of something new and unique we would be stoked to make it happen.

“We joined Geoff for a five-night charter aboard the s/v Alchemy in July — it was sublime. From lazy morning coffee on deck to excellent snorkeling in Emerald Bay, we got to see the island in a way most never get the opportunity to. Highly recommend!”
