Come Aboard the Alaskan Harvest
We would like to invite you to join us on our Alaska Boat Cruises. Our custom 7 day adventure cruises in Alaska’s Inside Passage, aboard our custom 80′ luxury yacht the Alaskan Harvest. Our excursions originate from the Southeast Alaska Coastal towns of either Sitka, Juneau or Petersburg. The trips will typically end in another town. A float plane flight will be scheduled at the beginning or end of your cruise to or from the yacht, depending on weather and the date the trip is booked. We find seeing is a real bonus to your adventure and worth the minimal extra cost. Arrival and departure can be scheduled by boat if no flights are desired.
