She then spent 2 years in Seattle with the USCG as WAVR-465 and gained the name Air Snipe, finally she was sold to private owners where she ended up with Boyer Towing in 1954 and operated as a commercial tug until the mid 1990's .

She made her way to Seattle in the fifties or sixties, and was repowered by Doc Freeman's with twin OMC 305 V8 engines in 1977. Other former names include Vivace, Jolly Six and Josey II. Current owners purchased her in 1999 and repowered again in 2001, along with much refastening and main system upgrades.
43' 1929 Stephens Brothers
Compadre is a 43 foot bridge-deck cruiser designed and built by Stephens Brothers Boat Builders in Stockton, California.  Launched in 1929, she was the second of three cruisers built by Stephens Bros. to a 42-foot design.  Compadre is unique, however, because her original owner, Leland Adams of San Francisco, specified that the wheelhouse be lengthened by18 inches, making her 43-1/2 ft overall.  A sister ship, Classique, currently is berthed in Seattle.  The third boat, originally named Alys, has apparently has been lost.  Compadre's interior layout is unusual for a bridge deck cruiser of this era.  The galley and saloon are forward of the wheelhouse; aft is the owner's stateroom.  Later 43-foot Stephens cruisers had the more common layout, with the stateroom forward and the galley/saloon aft.  That designed proved more popular, and Stephens ultimately built at least seven of those boats during the early 1930s (surviving examples include Seven Bells, Allure, and Cielito.) 
56' 1956 Chris Craft
Eloise

Eloise started her life with a family in Newport Beach Ca. where she cruised extensively.  She cruised annually three times per year from Newport to Cabo San Lucas and many weekends to Catalina Island, Marina del Rey and Santa Barbara.

88' 1941 Sivert Sagstad, Sagstad Marine
Gyrfalcon [2022]
In the mid-1930's, the U.S. War Department became convinced that a war with Japan was inevitable. The need for accurate charting of the coast of Alaska once again became important. H.C. Hanson, a noted naval architect in Bellingham, WA. furnished the plans and the government funded the building of two ships. One, the E. Lester Jones, was built in Astoria, OR, while our ship, the Patton (named for Raymond Stanton Patton, the recently deceased Superindent of the C&GS) was built by Sagstad Marine of Ballard. The winning bid was $149,995. After WWII, until their decommissioning in 1967, both vessels, E. Lester Jones and Patton, continued to survey for the C&GS in the Aleutians, Southeast Alaska, and along the BC coast (in conjunction with Canadian surveys).
36' 1946 Edison Tech

It traveled a mysterious journey through numerous owners until it came into the possession of John Wilkinson. His brother Rob Wilkinson found it at Jensen Motorboat Company owned by shipwright David Willard. The Blanchard made its way to Spokane where it awaited a restoration that illness prevented John from completing. Back to Seattle it came. David Willard was commissioned to conduct a keel up restoration.

Nootka
Built as the mission boat ‘Ave Maria’ at Meares Island in Clayoquot Sound in 1957. The last of four boats built for the mission school by the eye and hand of Barney Williams, Nuu-chah-nulth (Nootka) fisherman and shipwright of the Tula-o-qui-aht First Nation with students from the residential school. With the closing of the school in 1983 the boat was found derelict at Tofino, rescued and rebuilt into this classic Pacific Northwest cruiser. Barney Williams was a Chief of the Sea Otter Clan, and had visited the boat during her rebuild. Much later, when aboard, he presented a carved plaque of the sea otter, carved by his son of yellow cedar - now mounted in NOOTKA’s pilot house.

Owl

54' 1942 McKenzie Barge & Derrick
Owl
Owl was originally named the "Louise Idaho" when she was originally launched by the McKenzie Barge and Derrick Company in North Vancouver, BC in 1942. She worked as an inland tug until 1964, and was then sold to Nelson Pomeroy of Bainbridge Island, who renamed the boat "Owl" and oversaw the tug's two-year conversion to a pleasure yacht at the Weldcraft Steel and Marine Boatyard in Bellingham. PNW naval architect Edwin Monk designed her conversion, which included an entirely new house with a flybridge along with a redesigned lower deck with three cabins and two heads. The Pomeroy family cruised Owl to Canada and sometimes as far as Alaska every summer for the next 19 years. In 1985, Pomeroy sold Owl to Frank and Carol Didier of Bellevue, WA and Ketchikan, AK. In 1990 she was sold to Harriett Stimson Bullitt, who moved her to her current berth in Seattle's Lake Union. Harriett Bullitt and her husband Alex Voronin cruised the Salish Sea with their family on Owl for the next 18 years, continuing Owl's tradition of being a family boat that explores the Pacific Northwest. Under their care, Owl became somewhat of an institution on Seattle's waterfront, used by rowers and sailors alike as a mark for their courses across Lake Union. In 2021, the current owners Jenna Miller and James Utzschneider spotted a "For Sale by Owner" sign in Owl's window while kayaking in Lake Union one month after completing a nine-year circumnavigation on their catamaran Sophie. Experienced sailors, Miller and Utzschneider currently live on Owl with their family and look forward to cruising Owl to Alaska on her 100th birthday in 2042. They view themselves as stewards of a Pacific Northwest institution and will continue to honor and preserve her past while actively cruising her up and down the Salish Sea.
42' 1952 Chris Craft
Reverie

Built in 1952 at the Chris Craft factory in Algonac, MI.

Current owners, Jerry & Karen O'Neill purchased the boat in Aug. 2013. They have completed projects including interior upgrades, electrical system, sanitation overhaul and extensive bright work on flybridge, aft cockpit and transom. Their goal is to restore it to its original splendor. They rechristened the boat Reverie in 2014.

49' 1927 Schertzer
Riptide
Apart from several years in Alaska in the mid-1960's, RIPTIDE has been active on the Puget Sound since her launching in 1927. She's hosted three weddings, dozens of family cruises, and moonlight cruises beyond number. She is extremely fortunate to have been owned and maintained by sensitive and caring owners over her long and very active life. She has been repaired and upgraded since 2015 by the Port Townsend Shipwright's Co-Op, and most recently, Compass Boatworks of Port Townsend. Her paint and varnish is maintained by Salguero Marine Services and her owners. RIPTIDE is a great example of the boats produced in the Seattle area during the "Roaring Twenties" !

Savona
Savona is a 39' Ed Monk Sr. Bridgedeck Cruiser. She was built in 1942 by Bud Forder of Forder Boatworks in Kenmore, WA, on North Lake Washington for Russell Rathbone. She has had many owners through the decades. She was berthed at Bremerton Yacht Club under the ownership of Dr. Kenneth Jackson from 1946 to 1952. She has always been a Puget Sound boat, and we believe she has stayed mostly in the Seattle area. 9 years ago, Savona returned to the Bremerton Yacht Club and is currently owned by Chris and Emily Russell.l.
43' 1929 Stephens Brothers
Mariana
This 43 ft. Stephens Brothers boat was built in 1929 in Stockton, CA, one of 17 boats using the same blueprints between 1929 and 1933, with Stephens Brothers hull numbers between 574 and 595. Seven of these boats remain in service — remarkably — over 90 years later. Purchased by the United States War Shipping Administration in 1942, the boat served as an anti-submarine net tender in San Francisco Bay during WW2. The boat was fully restored in 1947 and then again in 1998 after purchase by its current owner. The hull is of Port Orford Cedar, the house is teak, and the soles are fir. The fourth-generation engines are Yanmar diesels. The lace curtains were a gift made by a friend’s elderly mother in Milan, Italy.

42' 1940 Chris-Craft
Tabu
Built in 1940 to be the personal boat for Bernard Smith then VP of Chris Craft and son of Christopher Smith the founder of Chris Craft. Bernard never took delivery; instead it went to a dealer in Spokane. The boat was launched in an inland lake to keep her from being used in the war effort and was named TABU due to war era fuel rationing. According to Bernard's son who was aboard a couple of years ago she was also the first Chris Craft to have a 110V AC system on board.
78' 1927 Kruse & Banks
Teal in Glenthornes Passage August 2015 [Tom Brayton photo]
Commissioned and constructed in 1927 for the US Bureau of Fisheries to be a coastal patrol vessel in the territory of Alaska; Teal became the first Alaska Dept. of Fish & Game enforcement vessel when Alaska statehood occurred in 1959. Following that service Teal was "long in the tooth", and was sold into private ownership in 1966. In 1980 she was towed to Port Hadlock, WA where she further languished until being hauled ashore to await next steps... In 1997 a massive renovation began; completed in 1999, Teal was re-floated having been completely replanked, her original Washington-Estep 300 direct-reversible having been replaced (and re-located aft) with a Cummins 855 NTA of 335 hp, with 6:1 Twin-Disc 514 reverse gear. Her original (1955) Coolidge 5 blade bronze propellor is still in use today. Additional upgrades include a pair of 9kw generators + batteries and inverters for 110 v house service. New steel fuel tanks and stainless steel FW tanks.
38' 1953 Admiral Marine, Seattle

Zanzibar
Zanzibar was built in 1957 by the Stephens Brothers yard in Stockton, California, renown for it’s quality.  Originally the “Gaylee”, she was commissioned for Portland marine dealer John Trullinger at a cost of $70,000, equivalent to three custom homes at the time. Mrs. Trullinger insisted that the galley be placed up in the mid ships area, creating a unique Quad Cabin design.  The house and decks are Burmese Teak. Hull planking is Honduran Mahogany over oak frames. Her sweeping lines follow a 1947 design by Dick Stephens. She has dual helm stations and is powered by a pair of Crusader 8.1 liter Vortec gas engines producing 770 total horsepower. Cruising speed is 13 Knots with a top speed of 19 Knots.
