The Discovery was originally designed and built as 'Holiday' for William Morris of the William Morris agency in 1931 in San Pedro, California. From her Teak decks and Deckhouse to her fine Mahogany paneling she reflects an era long past when craftsmanship meant pride in artistry. "It was said of her shortly after her launch by Pacific Motor Boat, Designed specifically to obtain just the arrangements specified by Morris, who evidently demanded comfort and convenience in all matters aboard ship as well as a sturdy sea-going vessel inspiring confidence in her abilities by her very appearance". We believe that statement still holds true today and makes her an excellent choice for your Alaska Yacht Charter. Her accommodations include 6 nicely appointed private staterooms all with opening portholes, 2 heads and showers below deck. On the main deck she features beautiful Mahogany dining and main salons an on deck head, galley and a fantail lounge. Her spacious teak decks allow unique opportunities for wildlife viewing and fishing. We have all the toys too. For tenders we carry a 2 - 13 foot Boston Whalers with outboards, 2 stable kayaks and a Whitehall rowing skiff. Passengers can use these for fishing and shore excursions. We also have crab and shrimp pots and provide and carry all salt water tackle for both salmon and halibut fishing. Discovery also has a CD player, color TV and VCR and Cassette players, a large assortment of movies, natural history tapes, games and a well stocked library. The Vessel is very comfortable for your Alaska Yacht Charter.
