Captain Anne Alberg

A native of the Pacific Northwest/Washington State/USA, Captain Anne Alberg has a deep rooted passion for sailing which began as a young girl in Ballard looking out at the sailboats on Puget Sound. She began racing on weekends during the mid 1980’s. Then as Skipper of a Beneteau First 456 she expanded her knowledge of cruising and boat maintenance. Her duties included boat deliveries to the San Juan Islands, Gulf Islands and Desolation Sound. Anne’s global sailing adventures have allowed her to explore the Caribbean, Thailand, Myanmar, Australia, Belize, Palau, Mexico, the Inside Passage in northern British Columbia and across the Pacific Islands (French Polynesia, Cook Islands, Nuie, Tonga, Minerva Reef) to New Zealand. On a trip to the Queen Charlotte Islands, Anne decided to turn her passion for sailing into a career, so she completed her ASA Instructor credentials and joined San Juan Sailing in Bellingham.
