Itinerary at a Glance

Experience the full length of the West Coast of North America’s Inside Passage without the open ocean, but with shores ever-so-tight to the sides of your yacht for most of the 900 nautical miles between Seattle and Juneau. Embrace exhilarating closeness to snow-capped mountains, wildlife and birds far too numerous to keep count, waterfalls, tree-lined narrow passageways and surprises at just about every “gunkholing” turn.

Choose May or September - either is an excellent time for cruising along British Columbia’s coast and Alaska’s Inside Passage. At these times of the year, the foliage is in vivid color, there are fewer boats and people, and it is at a time in which bears and other animals are apt to be foraging along the shoreline. Then make a second choice of the yacht that best fits you among the Safari Explorer, Safari Quest or Safari Spirit. The value is extraordinary and the daily encounters with nature are astounding!
