The Alaska Marine Highway System’s Monday night sailing to Haines and Skagway was canceled due to mechanical issues with the MV Matanuska. The Municipality of Skagway has chartered an Allen Marine vessel to replace the canceled sailing.
The boat departs from Allen Marine’s Auke Bay dock TODAY (3/16) at 1 p.m. It will depart the small boat harbor in Haines at 4 p.m., then depart from the Skagway small boat harbor at 5 p.m. before returning to Juneau.
Tickets can be booked by calling 907-983-2297. Skagway residents and northbound travelers must book and prepay by noon. Haines residents traveling southbound to Juneau must be book after 12:30PM. Preference will be given to Skagway residents.
Tickets cost $75 per adult and $50 per child. The passenger limit is 75 people. Luggage is limited to 2 pieces per person. Animals in kennels are OK. Firearms are permitted as long as they are registered with the captain. The chartered boat cannot accommodate vehicles.
KHNS will update this post if more information becomes available.
