About your trip

Private Alaskan Yacht Charters for 8-10 Guests: Customize Your Itinerary   

Embark on an unforgettable 8-day Alaskan adventure aboard your private yacht. Explore the stunning inside passage, discover abundant wildlife in protected waters, and witness the majestic beauty of glaciers, all while enjoying the company of eight to 10 of your closest friends and family. Our all-inclusive cruises are fully customizable, allowing you to check off every highlight on your Alaskan cruise bucket list.  


Your Cruise. Your Way.  

Discover the untamed beauty of the Inside Passage on your terms. Our flexible itineraries let you choose your bucket list highlights and explore destinations that ignite your imagination. Experience the wonders of Alaska with the freedom and flexibility only a private yacht cruise can offer. We collaborate with all eight passengers to ensure everyone experiences their Alaskan dreams. Go home with memories beyond your wildest expectations and newfound friendships.  


Wildlife Encounters Guaranteed 

With a more extended 8-day cruise, we have the time to search for whales, bears, mountain goats, bald eagles, porpoises, sea lions, birds, and so much more! Our comfortable zodiacs and kayaks allow you to get up close and personal with nature.  


Go Where Most People Don't.  

While most people sit on their balcony on an Alaskan cruise, you'll have the adventure to explore the fjords and remote islands and take in the wildlife only accessible by boat.  


Delicious Alaskan Cuisine  

Enjoy the freshest Alaskan seafood prepared by our chef. Hear captivating stories from your local captain and fisherman about the journey from ocean to plate. You might even catch a Dungeness crab or shrimp for dinner! Come hungry.  


No Extra Day Excursion Fees 

Most cruises require you to pay for your day excursion separately, but it's all included with us! This means less planning, fewer crowds, and a fun and more intimate experience for you. 


 Exhilarating, Stable & Fun 

Our 85-foot expedition yacht is built for Alaskan waters and has stabilizers for a comfortable, smooth ride. If the weather is rough in one area, we jump to another bay or inlet to have fun and experience those hidden gems. We don't want you to be seasick, so our cruises differ slightly depending on the wildlife and weather. And did we mention that we are a darn FUN group to adventure with?  


Fun, Local Captain & Crew  

Beyond the breathtaking scenery, your experienced local captain will share stories, local history, geological features, and his life as a commercial fisherman and adventure seeker!  


Glacial Fjords, Giant Icebergs & Old Growth

Experience giant icebergs up to the size of a three-story building, calving glaciers before they are gone, and cruise the pristine wilderness of Tongass National Forest, a 17-million-acre expanse—the largest rainforest in the USA.

Why Choose Us?
