About

The company was founded in 1986 by Washington entrepreneur Merideth Tall as Clipper Vacations, which contracted Fjellstrand AS of Omastrand, Norway to build the original Victoria Clipper; it entered service on July 1, 1986. The San Juan Clipper joined the fleet in 1991 and the Clipper IV in 1993, and the Victoria Clipper V became the sole vessel on the Seattle–Victoria run in 2018.

In 2016 Clipper was acquired by the worldwide ferry operator FRS, based in Flensburg, Germany, and the company re-branded to FRS Clipper in 2020. FRS Clipper participates in the Green Marine environmental certification program and is a member of the Pacific Whale Watch Association.
