Alaska Charter Yachts

Alaska adventure cruises offer unique and unforgettable opportunities for exploring the last frontier of North America. Frequently cited as the most spectacular region of the United States, the Alaskan coast is a series of mountains, glaciers, thousands of islands and temperate rainforest. These places, and many more, are made accessible on Alaska adventure cruises. The pristine setting makes a perfect location for an Alaska eco tour.

Our relaxed and spontaneous cruises bring you to places you've only dreamed of, making our decisions based upon the wishes of you and the other passengers. We know the waters which we cruise, all the way from Alaska to Seattle, and we'll share our knowledge with you in planning and executing your cruise.

The highly flexible and personal nature of our cruises allows us to accommodate the needs of our customers at a very high level. We have a wide range of activities for you and your companions. Whale watching is a very popular and rarely disappointing adventure. Eco tours are another popular Alaska adventure cruise activity, mixing education and environmentally friendly behavior with exploration.

Cruising Alaska 's Inside Passage is a wonderful and unique experience. Its diverse and interesting mix of wildlife and wilderness are unparalleled. Whether you're hiking on one of the many uninhabited islands, kayaking through the gentle water, or watching whales leap into the air, you'll never forget your Alaska Inside Passage cruise.

The area provides prime habitat for bald eagles, sea lions, porpoise and whales. Much of the southern panhandle is part of the Tongass National Forest, a 16.8 million acre rainforest. Glacier Bay National park has sixteen active tidewater glaciers and Misty Fiords National Monument, near Ketchikan, has 3,000-foot cliffs rising directly from pristine ocean channels.

The picturesque coastal communities which comprise the Inside Passage are rich in history. Russian influence (among others) is well preserved in churches and other historical structures. The Native cultures of Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian dominate this area. Ancient totem poles are abundant in many communities and the art of totem carving is preserved along with traditional dance and music.
