Cascadia Discoveries Offering personalized, custom crafted adventures in the waters of Washington and British Columbia aboard the classic 1947 wooden fishing vessel "Duke".

In 1947, fishing vessel (FV) "Duke" was built in Tacoma, WA. For fifty years, she plied the waters of the northwest looking for fish. In 1991 she was converted to a live-aboard cruising vessel. Since 2015, owned by Capt. Ryan Downs, she is an adventure platform for those looking to discover the natural and cultural wonders this frontier has to offer. Lovingly restored, the 50ft vessel offers the comforts of home while seeking hidden coves, deserted islands, and incredible wildlife such as orca, humpback, Dall's porpoise and eagles to name just a few. "Duke" offers adventures for a couple in a queen-sized cabin, or for four guests in bunks.

Well friends, it’s been a magical 10 years together, but Duke is ready for her next chapter and a new caretaker. She’s the best converted work boat for the price in the market here in Washington state. She comes with a complete history, new survey and me; a former owner who will help make the transition smooth. It’ll be hard to see her move on but I’m proud of the work she’s had done and excited for her new caretaker. Come see her in Port Townsend this weekend and we’ll talk.
