Flowers at Sea: Why Juneau's Yachts Come to Frenchie's
Let's set the scene. You're anchored in one of the most stunning harbors in the world. Glaciers. Mountains. The kind of Alaskan wilderness that stops even the most seasoned traveler cold. Your vessel is immaculate. Your crew is on point. Your provisioning is handled. And then someone asks about the flowers.
That's where we come in.
We've Been Doing This for Years
Frenchies has been Juneau's go-to floral studio for luxury yacht provisioning for a long time. From intimate sailing vessels to full superyachts, we're the team behind the arrangements in the main salon, the dining table centerpieces, and the details that make a stateroom feel like somewhere truly special.
We're also the only high-end floral studio in Juneau equipped to handle requests of any scale or complexity. That's not a small thing in a city that isn't accessible by road.
The Conversation That Matters Most
The most important thing we talk about with every chief steward isn't color palettes. It's expectations. Flowers are living things, and the most dramatic blooms don't always hold up to days at sea in Southeast Alaska's unpredictable weather. We'll always tell you the truth about what will last, offer alternatives, and find something every bit as beautiful and a lot more practical. The goal is arrangements that still look extraordinary on day four, not just day one.
That said, if you want something genuinely spectacular, we can get there. Our sourcing network runs the length of the West Coast through the Pacific Northwest and into Alaska. We follow the slow flower movement and source as close to home as possible, but our reach extends far enough to find exotic and striking blooms when the occasion calls for it. Lead time helps. The earlier you reach out, the more we can put in front of you.
The Design Difference
Our creative director, Jason Clifton, and co-founder, Jeremy Bauer, are nationally award-winning interior designers. They understand how flowers work within a designed space, how scale, color, and texture interact with a room's architecture. That sensibility is in every arrangement that leaves our studio. We don't work from formulas. We let the flowers lead, trust the season, and bring real creative vision to every order.
A Note to Chief Stewards
If you're provisioning in Juneau, reach out early. Tell us about the vessel, the aesthetic, the occasion, and your timeline. The more we know, the better we can do. And if you're arriving with less notice than either of us would like, call anyway. We'll do everything we can to make it work.
