ArcticLight (originally Nisku), was designed by William Garden and built by Bent Jesperson with Dave and Kathy Thomas at Philbrook’s Boatyard, after the North Sea Trawler Yacht style, in 1970.
It was used for many years on the remote coastal waters of British Columbia by Dwain Howard in the construction, and operations of the premier Hakai Fishing Lodge.
After many modern upgrades her current owners, one an expedition ship captain the other a documentary film maker, continue to operate and maintain ArcticLight on the supernaturally beautiful coastal waters of the Salish Nations, Alaska, and British Columbia.
