Charter the

alaskan story

Our 90-foot Westport yacht, the Alaskan Story, is large and fast, with spacious comfortable common areas for fishing, watching wildlife and scenery. The former owners, designed the Alaskan Story, harnessing a combined 60 years of experience chartering in Alaska. This tradition has been passed on to three born-and-bred Alaskans, now operating the vessel.

Interior

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.

Fishing

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.

Safety & Security

The Alaskan Story is the best-equipped yacht in Southeast Alaska to assure you have a safe, peaceful, and exhilarating Alaskan voyage. 

The Alaskan Story has all safety equipment required by the US Coast Guard and has a “five star” rating in a voluntary inspection by the Coast Guard Auxiliary. This is the highest level granted, and our vessel goes well beyond the requirements. Our life rafts are inspected annually.

The Alaskan Story is equipped with extensive first aid and medical supplies. We also have an automated external defibrillator (AED). Our crew is and always will be certified by a Coast Guard-approved first aid and CPR course. Fire extinguishers are distributed throughout the vessel and the engine room has an automated fire suppression system.

The Alaskan Story is powered by twin 570-horsepower turbocharged Caterpillar engines. There are two AC 24-kilowatt generators, large inverters, and battery banks. These allow the generators to be turned off at night for the quiet enjoyment of the anchorage and wildlife. Our water-maker produces up to 1,200 gallons of water a day.

Consistent with belief in the  necessity of redundancy in all essential systems, the Story has two independent computer systems for navigation, using electronic charts from several manufacturers. The vessel  is equipped with GPS, AIS, 24- and 48-mile radars, and we have automatic satellite location technology.
