Experience the Life of a Traditional Sailor...

Alvei and crew are on hiatus until November 2016.
However, we are still happy to communicate with prospective crew. Crew space is available beginning in January as we prepare for the 2017 sailing season.

 If you are interested in crewing with us, remember, you can join or depart at any point during the season as long as we are in port where there is an immigration office. Please check out other pages on this website for more information about itinerary, costs and how to reserve your bunk.

Sailing on ALVEI is a hands-on, authentic learning experience and lifestyle. Our aim is to maintain a low cost, self-sufficient lifestyle on the world's oceans, learning the traditional arts of the sailor and doing some good along the way.

We operate as a true cooperative--sharing all expenses, labor, knowledge and skill. There are no passengers, no paid positions and no profits, only willing individuals working together to experience an authentic life at sea.

If you have any questions or would like more information please read
​Evan's Log page that chronicles over 20 years of voyages aboard Alvei.

​Please don't hesitate to contact us at:
evan@alvei.org
If we don't respond within a few days, we're probably at sea. Please be patient and we'll contact you as soon as possible.

No experience necessary.
Enthusiasm, good cheer and positive energy are always welcome.
