The accommodations aboard the David B are comfortable and private. All of our cabins have a private "head". That means you get your own sink and toilet. Each cabin is clean, and spacious with natural light, fresh air, comfortable beds, and warm bedding. The Chinook, Sockeye, and Coho staterooms each have a queen-sized bed. Our Keta stateroom has two single bunks, both of which are extra-long. All of our passenger cabins have lots of storage for your belongings and more than 7-foot high standing headroom.
The David B also has another shared head that is very spacious, and has a cast-iron bathtub, fireplace, sink and toilet, natural light and fresh air. For more information on the layout of the passenger cabins visit our Interactive Layout page.
That gives you personalized attention by the crew. From meals that Christine prepares to the anchorages that Capt. Jeffrey chooses each day, your cruise will be unique and customized just for you. It also give you the opportunity to get to know your fellow passengers and you will have a space reserved at the Captain's Table for every meal.
If you are looking to cruise with us on one of our scheduled trips and you are curious about the type of people who come aboard the David B, here is what you can expect. Our passengers are like you. They are looking for something different, off the beaten path, authentic and a little bit adventurous. They are curious about the world around them, enjoy the outdoors, and being on the water. They are often interested in geology, wildlife, history, literature, boats, good food and great conversation.
Capt. Jeffrey has been working on passenger boats for over 17 years and holds 500 Ton Captain's License. Christine has over 5 years of experience working on passenger boats. The David B also is equipped with all the safety gear as required by the US Coast Guard.
Our style of cruising is slow-paced and we focus on the spaces between the destinations. We anchor each night so you get to feel and experience the quiet coves and bays on your cruise with us. This is in sharp contrast to the industrialized mega-ship cruise lines where you are shuffled from destination to destination with thousands of other people. While the cruise ships are running through the night with their casinos, bright lights, loud public address systems, dance halls, movie theaters and hair salons, you'll be listening to the gentle lapping of water against the hull of the David B and the occasional breath of a seal surfacing just a few feet off in our secluded anchorage.
