Luxury Yacht Charter Alaska 2026

Auke Bay / Statter Harbor

The primary superyacht-capable facility in Juneau, offering excellent access to the northern Inside Passage and provisions. It serves as a logical start or end point for many charters.

Seward Boat Harbor

Gateway to Prince William Sound and the Kenai Fjords National Park. A critical hub for yachts exploring this northern region, with good provisioning and transport links to Anchorage.

Ketchikan Bar Harbor

A key port of entry in Southern Alaska, ideal for charters beginning or ending near the Canadian border. Provides access to Misty Fjords National Monument.

Hoonah City Docks

Located near Icy Strait Point and Glacier Bay, this marina offers a strategic stop for wildlife viewing and experiencing local Tlingit culture.

Expedition & Explorer Yachts

Specifically designed for remote regions. They feature robust hulls, long-range capability, and extensive storage for adventure equipment like kayaks, large tenders, and fishing gear, which are essential in Alaska.

Yachts with Advanced Stabilisation

While the Inside Passage is often protected, open crossings and specific weather conditions can create uncomfortable seas. Zero-speed and underway stabilisers are critical for guest comfort at anchor and underway.

Yachts with Helicopter Capabilities

A helipad is the ultimate key to unlocking Alaska. It provides unparalleled access to remote glaciers for hiking, exclusive fishing spots, and aerial photography, elevating the charter to a true expedition.

Yachts with Enclosed Observation Decks

The weather can be unpredictable. A forward-facing, heated observation lounge with panoramic, floor-to-ceiling windows allows for comfortable and continuous viewing of glaciers and wildlife, regardless of the outside temperature.

Heli-Glacier Exploration

Land by helicopter on an ancient glacier for a guided hike across the ice face, exploring crevasses and moulins, followed by a gourmet picnic with panoramic views.

Tide-to-Table Gastronomy

Accompany the chef on a fishing excursion or to meet local fishermen, then enjoy a bespoke tasting menu featuring the day's catch of salmon, halibut, or spot prawns.

Wilderness Spa Day

Transform the yacht's deck into a private spa, with massage and wellness treatments set against a backdrop of silent fjords and drifting icebergs.

Submersible Dives

On suitably equipped yachts, descend into a deep fjord in a private submersible to witness the unique marine biology of the 'deep scattering layer' and hidden underwater structures.

Private Expedition Guide

Charter with an onboard naturalist or biologist who provides expert interpretation of wildlife behaviours, geology, and ecology throughout the journey.

Curated Indigenous Art Visit

Arrange a private visit to the studio of a master Tlingit or Haida carver or weaver, gaining insight into their ancient traditions and acquiring a unique piece of art.

Kayaking with Whales and Ice

Launch the yacht's sea kayaks for a water-level encounter with feeding humpback whales or to silently paddle through a field of freshly calved glacier ice.

A 55m global explorer with helipad

A helicopter dramatically expands the cruising ground, enabling access to remote fly-fishing rivers, glacier hiking, and alpine picnics far from any other visitors. A true go-anywhere vessel.
