For getting up close to natural beauty, Alaska yacht charters are the way to go in style and comfort. Surrounded by the majesty of soaring mountains, these personal cruises are the ultimate experience. If you are the type that wants to see nature from the comfort of your armchair, then take a yacht charter. It will be an experience that you will never forget.
Alaska yacht charters provide you with the opportunity to experience Alaska at your own pace. You will be able to see killer whales and sea lions in their natural habitat. Whales and dolphin often pace the boats and you can almost touch them. You can gasp in wonder at the majesty of the glaciers that grace the mountain valleys. Or at the icebergs that tower over the landscape. Eagles will swoop down to catch their food right in front of your eyes. Bear will be wading in shallow shoals to catch the teeming salmon. Freshly caught salmon and halibut are frequent guests to the dinner table. Orca and puffins will grace the landscape on occasion. Each encounter will be a lasting memory of your Alaskan vacation.
A professional crew and a comfortable boat makes Alaska yacht charters a step above other vacations. Each boat is designed with the passenger in mind. With cabins built for rest and relaxation, sleep is never an issue. The food offered on board is fresh and often something that you caught yourself. And the views available from all parts of the boat are breathtaking. The crew helps bring this experience to its highest level. From the professional captain to the finest crew members, all are there for the passenger’s comfort and safety.
Alaska yacht charters can take you in any direction that waters allow. For the discerning traveler, this is the way to travel. Most charters travel in the panhandle and bays of southeastern Alaska. With mountains and wildlife at every turn, your eyes will never want to close. Many charters provide the ability to go onshore for periods of time for hiking and Flightseeing tours. Some will allow for kayaking and fishing as well. Some will visit towns and villages along the way. And don’t forget your camera for one second. You might miss the perfect picture. But the best part comes in the evening at sunset when you remember what you did that day. And start thinking about what to do tomorrow.

If you're tired of being just a number on a mega cruise ship, explore Alaska aboard the Classic Yacht Discovery with just 10 other passengers. This small, intimate yacht allows the crew to get to know you by name, and it also allows you get up close and personal with the bears, whales, and glaciers like no large cruise ship could.
All Aboard Yacht Charters has been providing the ultimate wildlife, natural history and fishing expedition style cruises in Alaska’s inside passage since 1981. Catering to small groups of no more than 10 passengers on our scheduled 8 day cruises you’ll see all Alaska has to offer in an intimate setting where nature has a front row seat. Whale watching, bear viewing, glacier tours, walking in magical rain forests, fishing and kayaking are just some of our daily activities. The real Alaska “up close and personal”.
Our Crew includes a USCG Licensed Captain / Naturalist ( with 30 years cruising experience in Alaska) , a 1st Mate, A Gourmet Chef and Steward. The Classic yacht Discovery has 6 clean comfortable private staterooms, a beautiful teak dining and main salons a covered fantail lounge and excellent decks for viewing wildlife. The yacht carries 4 sea kayaks, a rowing skiff and 2 Boston whalers for shore excursions and fishing. The vessel has all the modern conveniences and the latest safety equipment. All Aboard Yacht Charters has permits to Southeast, Alaska's two bear observatories both Anan and Pack Creek. Both are limited entry and offer unparallel bear viewing opportunities. As one of Southeast, Alaska's longest term eco tour operators our permits issued by the US Forest Service allow us shore access to many of these remote areas where our shore excursions are always a highlight of our trips. Admiralty Island "the Fortress of the Bears" where bears outnumber people is one such place.
For those select few people who really want to see and experience the best of Alaska, the grandeur of Alaska we do have the Alaska Small Ship Cruise for you. We were one of the very first eco tour operators in Southeast Alaska. Many things have changed since then, however, one thing remains constant and that is our desire to do the best possible Alaska Cruise we can. We know the area better than any other tour operator and will endeavor to make this the most memorable vacation experience of your lives.We love Alaska, it's beauty, it's wildlife, it's raw nature. We care deeply about the impact we have as tour operators on the fragile Eco system. The animals we observe we consider friends rather than objects, we are the uninvited guests, after all.
What our passengers have said:
"In all the traveling I've done in all the trips I've taken, I don't think any has affected me the way my trip down the 1000 miles of the inside passage did. I felt truly alive in the embrace of nature, felt that I was a part of it - that it wasn't something outside of me, something for me to use, even something for me to protect the way I'd protect a valued possession. It's never been harder, or seemed more wrong to come home." Jim Molanar
"John, You are a kindred soul. Your sharing of feelings and knowledge of the world you love allow others to truly see Alaska for what she is. A place that puts a persons world and life into perspective. I know this to be true because it happened to me. Jeanne and I both agreed that this was the vacation we enjoyed the most and hopefully we will do it again, we just want to continue receiving the rewards that the "Discovery has to offer. Thanks and the best always, Glenn"
"To the Crew, Yes I can name you all, but to do so would seem to put you in order of importance. Each & everyone of you have made this trip a great experience. You all have your part that you handled. Thanks forever for an experience that I will not forget. The wildlife, the fishing, the food, the camaraderie will not be lost or forgotten. God Bless this boat and all of you. Peggy Sue & Will "
