San Juan Alaska Yacht Charters

San Juan Alaska Yacht Charters operates private, multi-day yacht charters designed around real cruising routes, seasonal conditions, and practical planning. Our goal is to deliver a smooth, well-managed experience that allows guests to enjoy the water without worrying about logistics, timing, or conditions.

We are based in Kirkland, Washington, and operate charters throughout the San Juan Islands, Desolation Sound, Gulf Islands, Puget Sound, and into Alaska’s Inside Passage, depending on season and itinerary.

Who we are

We are not a marketplace or a fleet operator. Our charters are built for guests who want:

  • private access to remote cruising areas
  • realistic travel distances each day
  • comfortable onboard living for multi-day trips
  • an itinerary that adapts to conditions, not the other way around

Because we operate a boutique program, every charter is planned individually rather than pulled from a preset schedule. serving the San Juan Islands, Pacific Northwest, and Alaska.

The Summer Sunset Tarrab Yacht

This is the part where you stop scrolling and start imagining your trip.
