Alaska Yachts For Charter

Then Southeast Alaska is for you. This narrow strip of inland coastal waters, uninhabited islands, mountains and fjords is dramatic nature reserve without compare. The scenery is spectacular and going ashore each day brings a new adventure of wilderness life.Visit Ketchnikan and see the extraordinary totem poles of the native Tlingit and Haida people. On rocky deserted coasts come across ancient stone carvings in the boulders.

Hike in the Tongass National Forest on Prince of Wales Island to see the Cavern Lake Cave carved into the rocky hillside. Spend time in Juneau and go hiking on Mendenhall Glacier or take the Mount Roverts Tramway for some of the most spectacular views to be found anywhere in the world! Cruising in these waters may not be for the sun-worshipper or the faint of heart but Southeast Alaska will reward any visitor with stunning sights and sounds, and memories that will last a lifetime.

Alaskan Yacht Charter Itinerary

Day 1:
Juneau, Alaska's capital, is the largest and most cosmopolitan city in Southeast Alaska (population of 29,000). There are many gift shops, tours to Mendenhall Glacier, see the city, visit the Red Dog Saloon.

Day 2:
Tracy Arm has the North and South Sawyer glaciers at its head, 26 miles from a number of small unnamed anchorages. Standing off as both of these are calving glaciers., you will wind (carefully) through the ice flows and icebergs scooping up glacier ice for the ice chest. The scenery is beautiful with steep rocky walls and waterfalls on both sides of the arm.

Day 3:
Cannery Cove, located on the east side of Admiralty Island, was the site of a cannery in the 1920s. It is a beautiful setting for crabbing and watching the frequently seen bears feeding along the shore at low tide.

Day 4:
Snug Cove, located in Gambier Bay, is another favorite. It is well protected from winds and is perfect for kayaking as well as bear watching. Gambier Bay has many small coves among the islets and reefs and is worth exploring.

Day 5:
Baranof Warm Springs is a popular spot with a huge, beautiful 100-foot waterfall and natural hot springs. You might wish to take the boardwalk and trail to the lake and sit in the hot springs next to the falls. There is a 250-foot public float to dock for the evening.

Day 6:
Red Bluff Bay has probably the most spectacular combination of mountains, waterfalls and ice fields and you may anchor near a drying mud flat, known as Bear Meadow.

Day 7:
Bay Bear Bay is one of the most sheltered anchorages around. Once inside through the narrow entrance, it seems totally landlocked. This is also a really protected bay for kayaking.

Day 8:
Depart from Sitka which is the oldest and most beautiful city in Southeast Alaska. See the city and visit the National Historic Park, which is the site of a Tlingit Indian Fort and had a large collection of Haida and Tlinget totem poles
