Best time to visit Alaska:

When choosing a yacht charter destination, few places rival the allure of Alaska. Renowned for its stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife, this region provides an unparalleled adventure on the water. Alaska's pristine beauty and dramatic scenery create an idyllic backdrop for relaxation and exploration.

Don’t miss out on the adventure of a lifetime - charter your yacht in Alaska today and secure your spot to explore its breathtaking beauty up close!

Exploring Alaska by yacht grants exclusive access to secluded coves and pristine wildlife habitats that remain inaccessible by land. Unlike any other form of travel, a yacht charter allows for immersion in the region's breathtaking beauty, delivering unparalleled views and the ultimate in privacy and luxury.

Discover Alaska’s extraordinary wildlife

Humpback whales, brown bears, orcas, sea lions, harbor seals, Dall porpoises, eagles, and, with a bit of luck, even wolves and moose can be encountered. This offers a perfect opportunity to connect with nature amid one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes. Admiralty Island, often called the “Fortress of the Bears,” is home to approximately 1,500 brown bears. Aboard a charter yacht, the smooth journey to the island ensures maximum comfort. Once ashore, a leisurely stroll along a rocky beach leads to an open meadow, where bears often fish or forage. A scenic one-mile hike through a 500-year-old spruce forest leads to an observation tower, offering stunning views of bears hunting salmon.

Explore Remoted Lands

Alaska Yacht Charters offers an exclusive opportunity to explore the breathtaking Glacier Bay National Park, featuring lofty peaks, sculpted fjords, and massive glaciers, all while enjoying the comfort of a private charter. Additionally, those visiting the region can experience one of the world’s premier whale-watching destinations by kayaking through Point Adolphus, a prime spot for observing humpback whales. Situated near Glacier Bay National Park, this area offers unparalleled experiences to witness marine life in its natural habitat.

Indulge in Fine Alaskan Cuisine

Guests are invited to embark on an unforgettable culinary journey, where they can catch Dungeness crab, Alaskan spotted shrimp, Pacific oysters, or local treasures like salmon and halibut, using the professional gear provided by the yacht crew. The catch is expertly prepared by a skilled chef, promising a unique and exquisite dining experience with each voyage.

For those who’d like to try something ashore, docking at the Alaska Steamship Dock or Chilkoot Port provides access to local bars and fine restaurants, where authentic cuisine and artisanal cocktails await. For an indulgent, unforgettable experience, guests may opt to stay at Tordrillo Mountain Lodge, where gourmet dining reaches new heights.

Go dog sledding on a glacier

Seeking an unforgettable Alaskan adventure, the Glacier Dog Sledding Tour offers a once-in-a-lifetime thrill. Participants are transported by helicopter over snow-capped peaks, landing on a vast snowfield where mushers and their Alaskan Huskies await. With departure points in Juneau, Anchorage, and Seward, these tours are easily accessible from yacht charters, with each offering unique landscapes and breathtaking vistas. Participants can choose to mush their own dog team or relax as a guide navigates through the pristine wilderness.

Visit hot springs on Baranof Island

For those looking to relax in nature ashore, a visit to the hot springs on Baranof Island is an unforgettable experience on an Alaskan yacht charter. Located near Sitka, the island features nine natural hot springs, with temperatures ranging from soothing warmth to a refreshing 48°C. Surrounded by towering trees, a stunning waterfall, and the gentle sounds of local wildlife, this place offers a serene atmosphere. It’s the perfect spot to relax, recharge, and create lasting memories. After immersing in the healing waters, you will feel refreshed and energized for the next leg of the adventure.
