The Inside Passage is a thousand miles of sheltered water behind a wall of islands, and the stretch between Juneau and Sitka is the best of it. There are no roads. Everything ’ the towns, the hot springs, the glaciers ’ is reached by water or not at all.
Summer here means eighteen hours of light, humpbacks feeding cooperatively in Chatham Strait, and brown bears turning over rocks at low tide. It also means rain, which is what grows the Tongass, the largest temperate rainforest on earth. Bring the right coat and stop worrying about it.
Every route we shape is a starting point, not a fixed schedule. Stay a second day where the light is right, move with the weather, or follow a captain who knows the cove worth the detour. That freedom is the point of chartering. What follows is one considered way to read Alaska; the rest we tailor to you.
