Accommodations
Copper Sky is an eighty-eight foot steel-hulled staysail schooner, custom-designed and first completed in 1986. In 1993 a new midsection was constructed, adding    
17 ft. to her waterline, and tripling water and diesel capacity for offshore world cruising in comfort and safety.

We normally accommodate twelve overnight passengers in six private (twin/double) cabins. There are separate quarters for crew, and pilot berths for tour leaders and guides. Capacity for day sails is 30 persons.

Copper Sky is beautifully outfitted with a teak and mahogany interior, a spacious galley, saloon and dining area, three rest rooms with shore-type flushing toilets (no pumping) and three hot showers. There are four deck tables topside -- great for enjoying our fine West Coast Cuisine or for working on research and camera equipment.
