Alaska: Juneau to Chatham Strait Itinerary

Alaska: Juneau to Chatham Strait Yacht Charter
A week from Juneau through the glaciers and whale grounds of the Inside Passage to the hot springs of Chatham Strait. This route pairs calving ice with feeding humpbacks, waterfall-ringed bays with remote villages. Expect the Sawyer and Dawes Glaciers, kayaking beneath waterfalls and cinnamon rolls at Tenakee, a rich and varied Alaskan voyage.

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 to a quieter anchorage. What follows is one considered way to read it; the rest we tailor to you.
