An Emotional First Voyage on the Alaskan Gypsy | Adventure Begins

Our very first voyage on the Alaskan Gypsy wasn’t just a test run—it was a mission. She needed to reach the Wrangell shipyard to be saved from sinking. But along the way, something beautiful happened. Gypsy must have known we needed some inspirational memories to carry us through the challenging months ahead! Instead of rushing, we slowed down (partially because we didn't want the shaft to fly out the back of the boat . . ). We took a joy ride, dropped anchor, and soaked in two nights and one day of bliss on Alaska’s wild coast - A little taste of our dream life aboard our dream boat. 🌊⛵ From emotional tears of gratitude to fun moments underway with music and laughter, this maiden voyage from Ketchikan to Wrangell gave us a glimpse of what the Alaskan Gypsy life could be. 👉 Join us on this journey of rescue, renewal, and firsts.
