7 Day Luxury Alaska Yacht Charter

The yacht will cruise to Dawes Glacier. Here you will see huge pieces of ice falling into the fjord and seals sleeping on their ice beds. Lunch will be served onboard with a backdrop of Fords Terror fjord. In late afternoon the yacht will return to Wood Spit Cove for an evening of boating or fishing. Listen out for the breath of humpback whales that come into the adjoining Holkham Bay, and watch the shoreline for the occasional black bear that makes its way to the beach.

Wake as the yacht cruises south into Frederick Sound to observe the humpback whales. The yacht can shut down and drift among them or if you're feeling brave, jump in the tender for a closer encounter. Afterwards, drop anchor in Cannery Cove, where you can watch brown bears feeding along the coast.

The yacht will cruise into Red Bluff Bay, which boasts mountains, waterfalls and glistening ice fields. Kayak into the spray of a waterfall and get a close-up view of bears fishing for salmon (mostly in August). This is also a great spot to set pots for fresh Dungeness crab and shrimp - catch your own dinner or have the crew take care of it for you.

Venture to Baranof Warm Springs, which is located just off the Chatham Strait, next to a beautiful 30m waterfall. Nine hot springs range in temperature, reaching as high as 48°C and we recommend relax in their warmth with a glass of champagne in hand. If your appetite for a life in the wilderness is still not satisfied, leopard rainbow trout can be fished in the nearby river.

Cruise north through the Chatham Strait, stopping at Tenakee Springs, famous for its bakery's delicious cinnamon rolls. Take a wander around the town where you'll find the galleries of local artists, or hike and bike the nearby logging trails. Anchor overnight at scenic Pavlof Harbor, which is perfect for bear watching. The next morning head back to Juneau for departure.
