Description:

Experience Alaska deeply. Be awestruck by the calving of a tidewater glacier. Be amazed by a massive humpback whale breaching clear of the sea. Be apprehensive about the brown bear on the beach. Let the sweet, buttery taste of Dungeness crab that you pulled from the sea this morning fill you with warmth this afternoon. Drift off to sleep in the endless light of an Alaskan summer, anchored under snow-capped peaks.

Don't just go to Alaska,experience it as only you can on a private yacht.

Enjoy the best of wild Alaska in supreme comfort. Photograph some whales and then sit down to lunch around a polished mahogany table with three generations of your family. Watch a bear on shore while sharing a dip in the hot tub with old friends. Do some shopping in a native village that is too small to attract the cruise ships. Let the fanatical fishermen buzz off in the skiff at dawn while you enjoy your king-sized bed.

Surfbird is a 115 foot trawler-style yacht that was launched in 2006 and refit in 2011. As one yacht broker put it, "Surfbird still has that new boat smell." The interior is finished in eco-friendly eucalyptus. The hardwood floors gleam below ceilings eight feet overhead in large, lavish staterooms. Each stateroom has many amenities and a private ensuite bathroom. Large portholes let in all of the Midnight Sun you want. Cover them if you'd prefer to sleep in.
