M/V Princeton Hall

M/V Princeton Hall The M/V Princeton Hall is USCG inspected and licensed. Her history is interesting and varied: built in Sitka, Alaska in 1941, she was originally designed as a "mission boat" for the Presbyterian Church. Six days after she was launched, the US Navy conscripted the vessel to use as a patrol boat during World War II. She was sold back to the church and resumed duties for the next 25 years as a mission boat to the remote communities of Southeast Alaska.

Now under private ownership and completely renovated from stem to stern, she is enrolled in the Classic Yacht Association. A tested and proven vessel, she has safely cruised the Inside Passage for almost sixty years. Accommodations are hospitable and very comfortable for groups of six guests. Her design provides a safe, stable, and functional vessel to enjoy your Alaskan adventure up close.
