Weather
Expect daytime temperatures to be between 50 and 70 degrees, with cooler breezes when underway and on deck of the boat. While we all hope for sunshine on your whole trip, preparing for a variety of conditions, including rain, will make for a comfortable voyage.
Clothing and Personal Gear
Keep in mind that you are on a boat where weather conditions are variable thereby making layers a must. Make the most of your adventure on the M. V. Sikumi by being equipped with the appropriate clothing and gear. The following list will help you prepare for your stay with us:
What to pack for your adventure on the M. V. Sikumi:
The packing list below is a good guideline, some previous guests have commented that they had to bring to much luggage. Please remember you will need just enough indoor & outdoor clothes for 7 days on the boat. Days can be sunny, cold, hot, rainy and everything in between.
• Layers are very important in Alaska. Pack multiple layers of shirts, sweaters and fleece rather than one heavy coat.
• Long and short sleeved shirts
• Sweat pants or other comfortable pants
• Shorts (optional)
• Bathing suit for a hot springs visit
• Warm socks (5-6 pair)
• Warm jacket (polypro or thinsulate)
• Lightweight gloves or mittens (quick drying)
• Long underwear
• Long pants
• A hat to keep you warm and another to protect you from the summer sun.
• Great rain gear including pants and jacket.
• Sturdy shoes for beach combing and short hikes.
(We do provide Rubber boots in a variety of sizes and most guests use them for hikes and off-boat excursions)
