Sitka, Alaska

An Alaskan yacht charter often includes Sitka, in a yacht charter itinerary of beautiful Alaska which is a remote and historic city. In the 1700s, before the United States purchased Alaska from what is now Russia, and Juneau became the capital city of modern-day Alaska, Sitka held that title. While most visitors have to access Sitka by plane or ferry, because of its unique position facing the Pacific Ocean from the Sitka Sound anyone that arrives by private yacht on an Alaskan crewed yacht charter will be able to walk right off the yacht when docked in Sitka into the heart of the city.

Juneau, Alaska Entrance by Sea

The Alaskan Panhandle is an isolated part of the state, making it an excellent private getaway—and an even more private way to see it is via a private yacht charter. During the summer months, temperatures are milder than the frigid winter months, which makes it an optimal time to visit. It is best visited onboard a private yacht, in order to visit areas not easily accessible by the larger mega cruise ships. WiFi is very limited when sailing throughout the remote parts of Alaska, so this will give you a chance to truly disconnect from the world and enjoy the gorgeous scenery.

Sea Kayaking around Ice Floes

Charter the southern inside passage of Alaska on a crewed yacht charter to have a fabulous up front and personal experience, as part of the natural life of Alaska. Sit in pods of whales bubble net feeding, watch glaciers calve into the waters below, see bears fishing for dinner, watch frolicking harbor seals, and rambling mountain goats and moose. Visit with colonies of sea lions, sit in anchorages surrounded by Bald Eagles, fish for salmon, king crab, shrimp and halibut, and hike through virgin forests. Alaska is a fabulous yacht charter destination unlike any other, and a private yacht charter on a yacht smaller than a mini cruise ship, is the way to be right smack dab in the middle of all that Alaska has to offer.
