Claim an exclusive six-guest sailing charter through the deepest fjord in North America, scanning cobalt waters for humpback whales, orcas, Steller sea lions, and bald eagles while snow-capped peaks tower on every side. This is Alaska at its most raw and intimate.
What to expect
You set sail directly into the heart of Lynn Canal, the 90-mile-long glacially carved inlet that is one of the deepest in the world. Your captain is a seasoned local whose knowledge of the canal's wildlife patterns and tidal rhythms is encyclopaedic. Hoist a sail, pour a coffee from the on-board galley, and watch the mountains glide past. Marine wildlife sightings — whales, sea otters, porpoise — are frequent and, on a small vessel, spectacularly close.
Good to know
Departs from Skagway small-boat harbour. Bring warm, windproof layers even in summer — wind on the water is significant. The charter can be tailored in length; discuss timing needs against your all-aboard when booking. Six-guest maximum means this sells out quickly; book directly to secure your date.
