Sitka offers one of the best ports for exclusive exploration of Southeast Alaska and the Tongass National Forest by yacht .
In fact , our harbors are equipped to hold yachts of many sizes , meaning yacht owners from all over can venture their way to Sitka and experience the town for themselves . While here , guests aboard the boats can take advantage of specialty services like grocery and floral deliveries as well as spa services . Yacht Services of Alaska offers 24-hour support from itinerary planning and tour arrangements to equipment storage and repair needs .
Sitka is also home to local yacht owners like Brooks and Cameo , who provide stays and tours aboard their 55-foot pilothouse motor yacht , the Equinox . After living aboard a smaller vessel and taking family and friends out for excursions , the couple decided to find a seaworthy boat that was still compact enough to access smaller anchorages for others who want to truly explore Southeast .
The Equinox has three private staterooms and crew quarters , enough room for five to six guests . It carries kayaks , paddleboards , and an inflatable skiff . The yacht also tows a sportfishing boat for fishing expeditions and
