2008 Cruise Schedule

The Discovery  was originally designed and built as 'Holiday' for William Morris Jr. of the William Morris agency in 1931 in San Pedro, California.  If her walls could talk they would tell the stories of catering to the who’s who of times past Actors, Actresses Singers and Stars alike enjoyed the same salon walls we have the opportunity to enjoy today.  She was quite the yacht of her time written up in many articles and publications making commendations to her beautiful lines and first class accommodations.   From her Teak decks and  Deckhouse to her fine Mahogany paneling she reflects an era long past when craftsmanship meant pride in artistry.  It was said of her shortly after her launch by Pacific Motor Boat, " Designed specifically to obtain just the arrangements specified by Morris, who evidently demanded comfort and convenience in all matters aboard ship as well as a sturdy sea-going vessel inspiring confidence in her abilities by her very appearance." We believe that statement still holds true today.  In 1998 she was acquired by Discovery Journeys and restored to her original beauty.

     On the main deck she features beautiful Mahogany and Teak throughout both her Formal Dining Salon and Main Salon that adjoin the covered  fantail lounge.  Spacious teak decks giving you ample space to view the skyline, a full service galley, on deck head and wheelhouse where you are welcome to take your hand at the Ships Wheel.  She features a spacious foredeck and 6 nicely appointed guest cabins. 

    Even though you will be cruising on a 1931 Classic Yacht doesn’t mean you will have to forgo any conveniences we have all come to embrace. Discovery is outfitted with TV, VCR, DVD, CD, Stereo, XM Satellite Radio and an extensive video and music collection to appease most.  We also have a large library of books from the latest novel to informational books on Classic Yachts, The San Juan Islands, Alaska or any wildlife in between.  That is just in the main salon on the top deck we have ample fishing gear and tackle. Two Boston Whalers, Two Kayaks, and a classy rowing shell all there for you to enjoy at your convenience.
