Charter a luxury yacht in Alaska and go off the beaten track at the northernmost point of the US. The mountains are calling – this is as wild and rugged as it gets.
With dramatic landscapes around every corner, a luxury yacht charter in the Alaskan wilderness is an unforgettable experience. A vast and incredibly diverse state, Alaska offers mountains, lakes, volcanoes, miles of open tundra plus the world’s largest temperate rainforest.
Get a breath of fresh air while exploring Alaska’s spectacular scenery, much of which is still completely unexplored. Catch a glimpse of wildlife including bald eagles, whales, wolves, moose and Alaska’s most famous resident, the brown bear.
Boasting 34,000 miles of coastline and over 3 million lakes, the Great Land is the ultimate destination for thrill-seekers. Paddle your way through the fjords and experience the splendour of Alaska’s majestic blue icebergs first-hand. Snorkel in shallow tide pools or take a rollercoaster ride through the rapids on the white-water adventure of a lifetime. Navigate calm, protected bays and watch whales and dolphins breach the icy-blue water around you, this is not your average yacht charter.
Take the path less travelled to the gateway of the Arctic, and feel the call of the wild when you charter a superyacht in this breathtakingly beautiful region.
