Alaska, Unfiltered: Discover the Wild North with LAST CALL

There are still places in the world that feel truly wild. Alaska is one of them. Here, mist hangs low over glacial fjords, eagles ride the wind overhead, and brown bears fish beneath waterfalls. Icebergs crack and drift. Humpbacks breach. It’s raw. It’s rugged. It’s unfiltered. And it’s best explored from the deck of your own private charter yacht.

Why Charter in Alaska?

Aboard a yacht, you go beyond the crowded cruise ports and rigid itineraries to chase the real Alaska: one where bubble-net-feeding whales, dense spruce forests, and glacier-fed inlets are your everyday backdrop. Where mornings start with fresh king salmon on deck, and evenings end lost in conversation about the day’s adventures.

Think heli-hiking across untouched ridgelines, kayaking beneath ice walls, and fishing with local experts. This is a place that rewards curiosity, and a yacht charter is your all-access pass.

A Journey Through Untamed Beauty

Take a 7-day loop from Juneau to Juneau aboard the 132-foot charter yacht LAST CALL and discover Alaska at its most epic. The itinerary brings you from Swanson Harbor’s humpback-filled waters to Pavlof Harbor, where brown bears feast on the summer salmon run. Visit the Tlingit village of Hoonah, soak in the geothermal pools of Baranof Warm Springs, and walk the beaches of Admiralty Island, home to one of the densest brown bear populations on Earth.

Glacier lovers can opt for the Auke Bay to Juneau route, which swings through the towering ice faces of Glacier Bay and Tracy Arm. Picture yourself in a skiff, dwarfed by blue walls of ancient ice, with seals sunning on nearby bergs.

Captain Virgil Pearce on Exploring Alaska

We caught up with LAST CALL’s Captain, Virgil Pearce, to talk about what makes chartering in Alaska so unforgettable:

Q: What’s your favorite Alaska itinerary and why?
A: The Juneau-to-Juneau itineraries are truly special. They showcase all of Alaska’s highlights: towering glaciers, whales, bears, incredible anchorages, charming pioneer towns, and world-class fishing for salmon, cod, and halibut.

Q: How does navigating Alaska compare to other cruising grounds?
A: I’ve spent numerous seasons navigating Alaska’s Inside Passage and surrounding waters, exploring remote coves, anchoring near calving glaciers, and guiding guests through some of the most pristine wilderness in North America. From Juneau to Sitka, Ketchikan to Glacier Bay, I’ve developed a strong understanding of local conditions, tidal currents, weather patterns, and the unique challenges of high-latitude cruising.

In Alaska, every day brings a sense of discovery: spotting humpback whales bubble-net feeding, watching brown bears along the shoreline, or threading through fjords that feel untouched by time. It’s an immersive wilderness experience, and that’s what makes navigating these waters so profoundly unique.

Q: What’s the one thing every charter guest should experience?
A: Watching a glacier calve into the water. You hear this thunderous crack, then watch a massive wall of ice fall into the sea. The wave rolls toward the boat, and there’s just silence. Being surrounded by icebergs, feeling the chill in the air, and witnessing a living, moving glacier is something that stays with you forever. It’s like connecting with one of the last truly wild places on Earth. I will make that happen for you!

Q: And for those who love to fish?
A: You’re in for a treat. We catch salmon, halibut, cod, and even a few of Alaska’s “ugly fish” right from LAST CALL and the tender. My top fishing guide will be with you every step of the way to ensure you get the most out of your Alaskan fishing experience, whether you’re a seasoned angler or just casting for fun.
