Experience one of the Last Great Wildernesses on an Alaskan Superyacht Charter
The name ‘Alaska’ meaning peninsula describes a vast landmass jutting out from the North American continent with the Arctic Ocean to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the west and south. At 34,000 miles, the Alaskan coastline is longer than the combined coastlines of all the other states in the USA making it a unique destination to be explored on a luxury superyacht charter.
With much of the state inaccessible or inhospitable to development, this pristine wilderness is a haven for rare and endangered species. When you visit Alaskan shores you can expect to come face to face with a rich diversity of North American wildlife, including polar bears, bald eagles, blue and humpbacked whales, grey wolves, grizzly bears, orcas, lynx, moose and many others. To cruise this region is the recipe for an unforgettable opportunity to convene up close with nature from the comfort of your perfectly positioned chair on deck.

With over 100,000 glaciers, covering 16,000 square miles, Alaska has half of all the glaciers in the world. Cruise in to College Fjord to see 16 ice blue glaciers, each one named after an Ivy League college by members of the expedition that discovered them in 1899.
Start your charter in Juneau, the site of Alaska’s first big gold strike in 1880 and the state’s second largest city. Mount Roberts and Mont Juneau tower above the state capital and atop these sits the Juneau ice field from which more than 30 glaciers flow. If your yacht has a helicopter, why not get a birds-eye view of this natural wonder?
