ALASKA YACHT CHARTERS Since 1996
Crewed Yacht Charter - The Personalized Cruise Alternative

Day One - Depart at noon from
Sitka for Klag Bay. This six hour passage is part inside waters and
part outside (about two hours in open
water). The outer coast of Chichigof Island is a National Wilderness Area
and has abundant wildlife and very few visitors. Expect to see humpback
whales, many sea otters, sea lions, big coastal brown bears (grizzlies) and all
manner or bird life including puffins, herons, falcons, harlequin ducks, bald
eagles, hummingbirds, etc.
Day Two - Cruise through the
protected labyrinth
of channels islands and passageways to White Sulfur Hot Springs in the
middle of the wildest stretch of coast line imaginable, on the waters edge, soak
in a natural mineral hot springs overlooking the boat with the pacific ocean as
a backdrop. Cruise north, again protected by the inner channels, through
Lisianski Inlet to the charming fishing village of Pelican. A very
friendly place, with a year round population of 100 people and a summer
population of 300, Pelican is a slice of the real Alaska, unspoiled by
mega-tourism.
Day Three - If the weather allows, cruise back down Lisianski Inlet and head up the coast to Deer Harbor on the outside of Yacobi Island. The salmon, halibut and assorted bottom fish are so abundant here that we probably will not spend very much time getting your limit of fish! Anchor in Inian Cove for the night. If the weather is not cooperating, we can fish our way north through the Inlet and wind through the islands to Inian Cove. A great place to kayak and explore, there are usually many sea otters and whales nearby as well as lots of unusual bird life. If the weather is clear we will have many spectacular views of Mt. Fairweather and the Brady Glacier.
Day Four - Cruise through Icy Strait
past Point Adolphus This should be our prime whale watching day as these waters consistently
have the largest and most active population of humpback whales in Alaska -
Anchor for the night in Pavlof Bay or dock in Tenakee Springs. Go to the
bath house to soak in the mineral hot springs.
Day Five Take a morning
hike down to the river, picking berries and maybe see some brown bears feeding
on returning salmon in the river. Cruise to Hoonah Sound on Peril Strait. This "lost
corner" or Southeast Alaska with its many streams
and quiet anchorages gives our guests the feeling that they are the first people
to explore here. Frequent sighting of Killer
Whales and Porpoises, good fishing for giant yellow eye, salmon and shrimp as
well as many streams with numerous brown bears makes this a choice spot.
Day Six Cruise through Sergius Narrows to Kalinin Bay. This perfectly sheltered cove at the edge of the ocean has some of Alaskas best fishing just a short skiff ride away. We frequently see brown bears, sea otters and many bald eagles while at anchor here. This is a pleasant place to launch the sea kayaks before dinner.
Day Seven - Cruise into Sitka arriving at eleven am.
