The Alaskan Story was redesigned and completely rebuilt in 2002 to give our guests the best Alaskan charter yacht:  New teak interior, all new stainless-steel appliances, new aft dining area with 270 degree view, and enclosed top deck pilothouse where the guests can sit comfortably with the captain and view the natural beauty and wildlife of Southeast Alaska.

The galley, saloon, dining area, and day head are all on the main level.  Two aft staterooms have walk-around queen beds and the two forward staterooms have two twins each. Of course all the staterooms have bathrooms including showers en suite. Each stateroom has its own thermostat to control heat. There is a spacious TV/reading room forward and additional cabins and bathroom for crew.

Alaska Yacht Charter’s Alaskan Story has all the safety equipment required by the United States Coast Guard and has receive a “five star” rating in a voluntary inspection by the Coast Guard Auxiliary. This safety rating is the highest granted, and only to those vessels that go well beyond the requirements. The Alaskan Story has automatic satellite locating beacons and life rafts that are required to be inspected annually. Of course we have extensive first aid supplies and an automated external defibrillator (AED). All of our crew will always be certified by a Coast Guard-approved first aid and CPR course.

The Alaskan Story has a 17-foot Boston Whaler with a 90-horsepower four-stroke Honda outboard. As a backup, we have a 12-foot rigid-bottom inflatable with a four-stroke outboard. The Alaskan Story also has three double kayaks. We provide all salt-water fishing gear for both salmon and halibut and also have crab and shrimp pots.

There is a large collection (hundreds) of books, music, movies, as well as a flat screen TV with Bose surround sound system.

The Alaskan Story is powered by twin 530-horsepower turbocharged Caterpillar engines. She has two AC 24-kilowatt generators. She has large inverters and battery banks which allow the generators to be turned off at night for the quiet enjoyment of the anchorage and wildlife. She has a water-maker capable of making up to 1,200 gallons of water a day.

Consistent with belief in the  necessity of redundancy in all essential systems, the Story has three independent computer systems for navigation, using electronic charts from several manufacturers. The vessel  is equipped with GPS, AIS, and 24- and 48-mile radars. Fire extinguishers are distributed throughout the vessel and the engine room has an automated fire suppression system.

We made our Alaskan Story  the best-equipped yacht in Southeast Alaska to assure you of the best and safest Alaskan cruise.
