Choose Alaska Yacht Charters: The Premier Charter Yacht For Cruises In Alaska
Geoff Wilson | August 7, 2010Alaska Yacht Charters is “quite simply the best crewed yacht charter in Alaska.” While viewing the wildlife of Alaska, seals, sea otters, sea lions, eagles, orcas, deer, brown and black bears and perhaps even wolves and mountain goats, you will not only eat salmon, halibut, crab and shrimp, but if you choose, you will catch them. With Alaska Yacht Charters is you will see whales and dolphins so close that you will reach out as if to touch them- all of this in luxury, comfort and safety.
Alaska Yacht Charter’s Alaskan Story is large and comfortable with great visibility and spacious, comfortable common areas for sightseeing, reading, visiting, listening to music, viewing videos, or just relaxing. The four guest staterooms are below deck, each with head and shower ensuite. All of the staterooms have hanging lockers and ample storage. The aft two staterooms have walk-a-round Queens and the forward two each have two twin beds.
The Alaskan Story has a large covered aft deck that will comfortably seat 10 people. The covered side walkways lead to a large forward decks with substantial additional seating. She is powered by Caterpillar Diesels, which allow her to cruise effortlessly at 10 – 12 knots and considerably more if necessary. Her broad beam makes her a very comfortable yacht. The Story has a 17-foot Boston Whaler and a 14-foot inflatable, with new 4 stroke outboards. The Whaler is equipped with downriggers and fish-finder. For those who prefer to do their fishing from the mother ship we can troll with downriggers from the protected aft deck.
The Alaskan Story got an all-new teak interior in 2006 and most of the machinery was replaced or rebuilt the same year. She is “better than new.” She has two new generators producing 110 and 220v AC and a water-maker. The latter can make up to 1200 gallons of water a day. Alaska Yacht Charter’s Alaskan Story truly provides all the comforts one could expect of such a world-class yacht.
In 2003 Alaska Yacht Charters was awarded a permit for Glacier Bay National Park, the crown jewel of the our national park system. The Alaskan Story is one of only four yachts over 65 feet allowed to charter Glacier Bay in the high season from June through August. The selection of Alaska Yacht Charters was awarded after a lengthy evaluation process based on the financial strength, experience and environmental sensitivity of over 100 competing charter companies.
