Few charter experiences reward exploration quite like Alaska aboard SERENGETI. A 39.6-metre (130-foot) Westport with one of the most established and successful charter programmes in the region, she offers far more than a luxury yacht holiday; she delivers a genuine wilderness adventure shaped by decades of Alaskan expertise. Widely described as one of the most dominant charter operations the Last Frontier has ever seen, SERENGETI is built around discovery from the first morning to the last.
Every day aboard begins with the promise of something extraordinary. Guests might spend the morning searching for whales, cruising past glaciers and slipping into remote anchorages, then head ashore for a wilderness hike or a close wildlife encounter. The onboard programme spans whale watching, brown-bear viewing, glacier exploration, kayaking, sport fishing and scenic hiking, all curated around the region’s natural wonders so that every charter feels tailor-made.
Central to the experience is the crew. The Captain and deck team are avid fishermen and hikers who lead excursions, spot wildlife, host star-gazing sessions and even run yoga and fitness on deck. Their passion for Alaska extends well beyond operating the yacht; they actively enrich each adventure with local knowledge that only comes from years in these waters.
Fishing enthusiasts will find SERENGETI in a class of her own. The yacht and tender are fully rigged for fishing, the programme includes a commercial halibut licence and there are opportunities for fly fishing for salmon. A 34-foot 2025 Allied Liberator tender, fully equipped for sportfishing and shore excursions, opens the door to remote waters and hard-to-reach corners of the coastline.
When not exploring ashore, guests can take in Alaska’s dramatic scenery from the yacht herself. Temperature-controlled outdoor decks and an optional full eisenglass enclosure for the main deck aft and flybridge keep guests comfortable whatever the weather, whether enjoying an alfresco meal, watching wildlife from the railing or winding down in the main salon.
SERENGETI’s interior is characterised by a classic gentleman’s style, where warm high-gloss finishes create an inviting atmosphere and large windows throughout the main salon and skylounge frame the surrounding landscape. She accommodates up to 12 guests across five cabins, including a full-beam main-deck master, two king guest staterooms and two twin staterooms, providing a comfortable base from which to experience one of the world’s most remarkable cruising grounds.
The adventure continues after dark. Guests can gaze through the onboard telescope at the stars, or chase the northern lights as they ripple across the Alaskan sky. From warm springs and brown-bear viewing to glacier exploration, diving and world-class fishing, SERENGETI remains one of Alaska’s most iconic charter experiences, an invitation to discover the Last Frontier through a programme built entirely around exploration, adventure and unforgettable encounters with nature. Refitted in 2014 and maintained to the highest standards year after year, she pairs proven capability with genuine warmth and an exquisite sea-to-table culinary experience.
For travellers seeking the definitive Alaskan yacht experience, SERENGETI combines proven pedigree, an unrivalled programme and a crew who live and breathe these waters, turning a single week aboard into the adventure of a lifetime and a lasting connection to the Last Frontier.
