Who BLACKWOOD suits
BLACKWOOD is a 31.4 m motor yacht that accommodates 8 guests across 4 cabins, making her a practical choice for families or groups of friends seeking a comfortable exploration of remote coastlines. With a dedicated crew of 4, the service on board is tailored to ensure a relaxed atmosphere. Guests can make the most of the surroundings using kayaks and paddleboards, or enjoy the convenience of a swim platform and gym during their time on board.
When positioned in South West Alaska, she holds a longer length than similar vessels in the area. While her guest count remains the same as these alternatives, she represents an older build year and commands a higher weekly rate. These characteristics define her presence in the region, providing a specific profile for those considering her for their travel plans.
The best time to experience her during the summer 2027 season in the West Coast United States, Far North Alaska, South Central Alaska, and South West Alaska is from June through August. June provides the most daylight for viewing the landscape, while July and August are ideal for observing salmon runs and brown bear activity. Although her listed season extends from April through November, the mid-summer months provide the most favourable conditions for navigating these northern waters.

Cruising South West Alaska: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The charter season runs from June to August. June offers the longest daylight hours and relatively drier conditions. July and August bring warmer air temperatures, prime salmon runs, and peak brown bear activity along the coastline. Prevailing summer winds are variable, though low-pressure systems can bring gale-force winds, rain, and swell from the Gulf of Alaska. Fog is frequent, and September brings deteriorating weather.
Practical tips
- Connections route via Anchorage (ANC) to regional hubs including Kodiak (ADQ), Homer (HOM), or King Salmon (AKN), with remote boarding arranged by floatplane.
- Harbours in Alaska's towns are usually 10–20 minutes from the local airport; remote starts are reached by floatplane.
- National parks such as Katmai enforce strict minimum approach distances and food storage rules when viewing coastal brown bears on foot or tender.
Anchorages to know
- Geographic HarborA deep fjord backed by ash-covered cliffs, offering secure holding in mud and reliable brown bear viewing during summer salmon runs.
- Kukak BayA well-protected bay on the Katmai coast with multiple arms providing sheltered anchorage from Shelikof Strait swells.
- Larsen BayAn enclosed inlet on Kodiak Island offering calm water, good mud holding, and shelter from prevailing outer-coast winds.
- Alitak BayA large, sheltered natural harbour on southwestern Kodiak Island providing safe anchorage options during heavy offshore weather.
