M/V Kahsteen

Explore Glacier Bay National Park by Yacht

Charter Yacht Summary

Glacier Bay is one of the World's natural wonders with a system of glacial fjord's stretching sixty miles into the Fairweather mountain range. The captain and crew of the Kahsteen have spent 30 years exploring Glacier Bay and assure you a trip of a lifetime.

The Park is said by many to contain the most spectacularly glaciated mountains in the World. Equally impressive is the Park's abundance of wildlife, particularly marine life, including porpoise, seals otters, sea lions and three species of whales.

But more than the ice, mountains or wildlife, Glacier Bay is wild country, undeveloped beyond Bartlett Cove, unyielding to the inexperienced and uncharted where glaciers have changed the topography faster than man can map it.

Explore the Glacier Bay by charter aboard the Kahsteen with Captain Mike Nigro, a former park ranger and commercial fisherman with over 30 years of experience traveling the waters of Southeast Alaska. Hike to a glacial headwall, explore for bears, visit shore bird colonies and sea lion haul-outs, or enjoy a leisurely kayak in a secluded cove. In the evening gourmet meals are the norm aboard the Kahsteen as your day's catch is served in imaginative ways.

The Kahsteen is owned and operated by an authorized National Park Service concessionaire in Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve.
