Inspired in Kodiak Tailored Professional Design Built in Alaska

Alaskan aluminum power catamarans, llc.

Specializing in building aluminum, hydrofoil assist, outboard powered catamarans

Alaskan Aluminum Power Catamarans specializes in the design and building of aluminum, hydrofoil assist, outboard powered catamarans; producing a welded aluminum boat specifically designed for operating in our rugged Alaskan environment. Each of our boats is influenced by a lifetime Alaskan resident who has spent most of his life both commercially fishing and sport fish guiding around Kodiak. They are designed by an accomplished naval architect specializing in hydrofoil assist catamarans, and each boat is built here in Alaska by a team well versed in fabricating within Alaska’s Commercial Fishing and Sport Boating industry.

The catamaran-style hull is well known for its stability, extra width, and fuel efficiency. However, the asymmetrical hulls on our boats recognize that the water inside a catamaran’s tunnel is different from the water displaced on the outboard sides of the boat when underway. This design helps to further improve on the catamaran idea; preparing for and mitigating chop entering the tunnel for a smoother ride at speed, as well as minimizing drag, increasing fuel efficiency, and range.

Our hydrofoil further improves that catamaran concept and acts like an airplane wing securely fixed between the hulls, providing several inches of lift to the entire boat on plane. Lifting the boat reduces the wetted surface, thereby reducing drag, increasing fuel efficiency, speed, and range. Lifting the boat also increases the distance between the water’s surface and tunnel, further softening and improving the ride in chop. Our hydrofoils are designed and placed to maximize lift at practical cruising speeds and anticipate a variety of load conditions.

Cabin and deck layout are easily customizable and easily tailored to suit your specific tastes and goals for your vessel. We are very happy to work with you and include our own personal experiences and suggestions as we help to create your ideal platform; whether you are a charter captain looking for a layout specific to your clients needs, a remote cabin owner interested in hauling material and supplies, or any normal Alaskan looking to take family and friends out for a day or week of fun. These decisions aren’t new to us and we enjoy helping tailor this technology to your application.

• Alaskan Dream

An innovative, streamlined catamaran design, accommodating 40 guests in 20 cabins, makes the Alaskan Dream (formerly the Executive Explorer) a delight in small ship cruising. Besides being sleek and beautiful, she easily navigates narrow channels and passages like a yacht, while at the same time providing the elegance of a small cruise ship. The Alaskan Dream, cruising at 13 knots, is by far one of the fastest small ships in Alaska, which means you’ll spend less time navigating and more time watching wildlife, viewing glaciers and visiting authentic Alaskan communities.

Alaskan Dream Ship Reviews from Our Travelers

After 18 months of social distancing because of COVID, it was an absolute pleasure to be on a small boat cruise in Alaska's Inner Passage with 36 fellow travelers. We were all vaccinated and tested and welcomed the opportunity to get to know each other on-board without masks and distancing.

This was the most wonderful vacation my husband and I ever had. Everything was well organized and FUN. We enjoyed our cruise on the Alaskan Dream--the smaller boat was just perfect.

The whole trip including itinerary, organized outings, FOOD, and wildlife contact and sightings were top notch.

The flexibility of the small boat, the sense of community both among passengers and between passengers and crew, was extraordinary.

This was one of the most outstanding trips I have ever been on. The boat was the perfect size for us, the crew was exceptional, the food was fresh and delicious, and the natural beauty was breath-taking. I cannot say enough positive things about this experience.

After 18 months of social distancing because of COVID, it was an absolute pleasure to be on a small boat cruise in Alaska's Inner Passage with 36 fellow travelers. We were all vaccinated and tested and welcomed the opportunity to get to know each other on-board without masks and distancing. We were a diverse age group from around the US and we enjoyed each other as much as our shared adventure. We formed a photo sharing platform that allows us to re-live our trip into the future. I (age 78) was traveling with my oldest daughter (age 53) for the first time. It was the first time since the start of the Pandemic that we felt comfortable planning such a trip and even though the Delta variant was growing rapidly, we felt protected with the safety protocol and arrangements.

The small boat trip in Alaska's Inner Passage was fantastic. The crew, the planned side trips, the food, the fellowship, the accommodations exceeded my expectations. The Denali Backcountry Explorer trip was changed at the last minute because of an avalanche that closed Denali Park at the midway point. The recommended alternative accommodations provided an excellent base to explore Denali and the area. I enjoyed the Inner Passage boat trip with uncharacteristic days of excellent whale watching, bear encounters, kayaking, small towns and lots of insights into local and native culture. Naturalist guides were outstanding. There were no down experiences on our 17 days in Alaska. There was the right balance of sightseeing, fellowship, education and cultural experiences. Even the transition from Inner Passage cruise ship to Denali Backcountry Explorer was enjoyable with built in time to explore Anchorage on our own.

Accommodations Review

The size of the Alaskan Dream ship allowed easy access to all areas, plentiful places to relax and enjoy the other passengers. We appreciated the extras like the binoculars and wet suits provided. The staterooms were tight but well equipped.  Bedding excellent. Loved the on-board talks and captain's making changes to take advantage of weather or wildlife sightings.  

Meals Review

Food on the boat was surprisingly good and plentiful. I ate way too much and enjoyed it thoroughly.

Crew & Guides Review

Could not have asked for better - for our Captain, crew, trip leader, and guides on board and at various small town stops. Their obvious knowledge of the area and culture was evident. Such a delightful combination.

Transportation Review

All arrangements were provided and documented in advance and worked as intended. Making a change mid-trip because of an avalanche in Denali was handled professionally and with compassion.

AdventureSmith Explorations Review

From the very beginning of our planning, all communications have be thorough, thoughtful and helped identify the right combination of trips to Alaska, including a small boat trip and a planned backcountry trip. We appreciated the pre-trip communications and arrived with the recommended clothing and gear for anticipated weather. When an avalanche made the Denali Backcountry trip impossible, we were notified immediately with suggested alternatives. At their recommendation, we were booked into a quality resort outside Denali Park and sorted through various add-on adventures, including white water rafting and a helicopter ride.

We were provided with sufficient information about what to expect as to weather and time of year. Our daily schedule outlined the high points and included information about meals and lodging. Transfer between points was included. The list of what to bring was very helpful. Including information about how to handle anticipated wildlife helped allay fears. 

Traveler Advice

Heed the advice of the trip planners to ensure the best experience. Look for trips that include local narrative and guides and have a track record of melding small groups into long friendships through shared experiences.

This was the most wonderful vacation my husband and I ever had. Everything was well organized and FUN.  We enjoyed our cruise on the Alaskan Dream--the smaller boat was just perfect. (I would never have gone on one of those 5,000-passenger leviathans). Everyone aboard was so much FUN! Of the 37 passengers on the Alaskan Dream, 30 were from Maine--a group of friends who had kind of a travelling club. They were very welcoming, inclusive, and friendly toward those of us non-Mainers--not at all cliquish, as one might expect. And, boy, did they like to party hearty! We had such a wonderful time with these people!

I thoroughly enjoyed the cruise and the visits to the Native Alaskan villages. It was wonderful and a privilege to learn about the Tlingit, Tsimshian, and Haida cultures. I loved hearing the traditional stories and legends, the songs, and the people speaking in their own languages. What a beautiful experience! 

The Alaskan Dream was, quite simply, a dream boat. Everyone on the staff, from Captain Eric to the crew onboard, went out of their way to make sure everyone was comfortable and happy. The beds were very comfortable. 

My husband had been wanting to go on an Alaskan cruise for quite some time.  I was the one dragging my feet because I didn't want to be stuck on a giant cruise ship.  My husband's cousin and wife had made arrangements through AdventureSmith and just raved about it.  I was particularly taken by the small boat--I figured a 104 foot catamaran holding 40 passengers was much more my speed (I hate crowds).  It was the size of the boat that made me decide to go with this trip.  My husband and I thought it would be more like a floating B & B, and we were right! 

Oh, my word! We ate like KINGS! The seafood was absolutely to die for! The menus onboard the Alaskan Dream were varied, and everything Chef Garrett made was incredible. I was impressed that each meal offered a seafood, meat, and vegetarian option; and if someone had special requirements (lactose or gluten intolerance, for example), the chef made special meals for them. Everything--the soups, the appetizers, the main courses, and the desserts--were delicious and plentiful.

Pack for ALL kinds of weather--hot weather as well as "Alaska" weather. We had nine days of sunny, hot weather (totally unexpected, I know) and were really not prepared for it. I'd been looking forward to nice, cool Alaska weather!

Everyone was wonderful. Alex and Kari were both enthusiastic and knowledgeable, very personable and friendly, and just plain nice to be around. Alex was great at identifying birds, land animals, and sea animals. Kari was great at explaining about the Tlingit culture and the local areas we visited. The most wonderful thing she did was "sing up" a pod of orcas. We came upon the pod, and they promptly dived underwater. Kari got a drum and sang a Tlingit killer whale song, and the orcas immediately popped back up! They stayed for as long as she sang; and when the song ended, they dived back down again. It is the most spiritual experience I've ever had, and many of the guests who witnessed this agreed with me. I'll never forget this as long as I live.

Everything was SO enjoyable, so well organized, and so much fun. I've been telling all my friends just what a wonderful job AdventureSmith did and strongly recommending you. I especially appreciated the fact that you folks took care of EVERYTHING from the plane flights to ground transport. It's the first trip I've been on where I didn't have to do every-darned-thing myself.  It was great. 

We got lots of good information on what to expect while we were in Alaska, what to pack, etc. What we didn't expect was the totally unprecedented heatwave. We had only one day that was below 75 degrees--thank God the humidity was very low! We'd packed our long-sleeved shirts, sweaters, jean, knee socks, waterproof shoes/boots, windbreakers, and rain gear...and didn't need them! Thank goodness, we'd packed a few summer things in anticipation for our stay in Washington after our Alaska trip--those are what we wore most often! It was amazing.

The whole trip including itinerary, organized outings, FOOD, and wildlife contact and sightings were top notch. The staff was incredible and Captain Erik made sure that our requests and 'dreams' were fulfilled. He went the extra mile as did the excellent naturalists and contacts in the communities. I really loved taking the zodiac raft out to get a MUCH closer look at the wildlife and to generally explore. My husband, a non swimmer, actually tried his hand at the kayaks. The sheer majestic scenery of Glacier Bay, Stikine River (and its link to the Gold Rush), Kasaan and the restoration of the longhouse, Tracy Arm Fjord  glacial flows and on and on made this trip of 31 passengers so much better than the large liners that passed us but couldn't get to the small inlets that we did. How lucky were we!!! Sitka was an interesting town and I bumped into a group of women making baskets out of salmon skin. This was sponsored by a local museum. Great to see Native American art being passed on.

The bed was really comfortable and I loved looking out of the large picture window at night to see the light....LOL and also on occasion when  I would wake up early in the morning I would see the night sky and the moon. The shower and toilet combo worked well but was a bit of a tight squeeze but makes sense for this type of transportation. I really liked the nightly sheet left on our bed about the following day's activities. I could read up about what we were going to see and do. I also liked the intercom in the room to alert us to various wildlife or geological sightings.

The food was OUTSTANDING. Great choices, so carefully prepared. The baker also did an outstanding job of keeping everyone in fresh, hot, delicious goodies. The afternoon cookies at the bar were very popular. Pounds were gained but who cared!!! As I am lactose intolerant, I was amazed at how the chef and her staff created incredible alternatives for me to eat as did the baker.

I am use to organizing our trips so it was nice to have someone else advising on what we needed to take and things (such as waterproof pants and jackets) etc. would be provided. Aaron cheerfully answered all of my questions.

Larissa and Simon were the two naturalists who guided us through the daily activities and provided evening slide shows on topics of interest. Both were wonderful and knowledgeable. Not only was Larissa knowledgeable about nature but she was an accomplished photographer and artist. At the end of the journey she created a DVD of photographs with music for all of us to take as a great memory of our journey together. Simon was remarkable. He is so eager to learn. He was substituting for the other naturalist who was assigned to us for the trip. It was his first stint at this and honestly his enthusiasm was so huge and his passion for his work so strong. He was funny, a great communicator, and a real joy to share time with. Both were always there to answer any questions and guide us to books in the ship's library for additional information.

I loved my time spent with Alice who shared her Tlingit history with us. She and I had a quiet talk at the end of the day that she spent with us in Glacier Bay. She drummed and sang a welcoming song as we sat in the corner. My goal was to call the Orcas to us and sure enough...the last day we were on water a WHOLE POD came by and accompanied the boat. My dream for the trip. We had a great staff server for food, Mystique. She was light-hearted and fun and personalized her service regarding meals..she remembered the special things we liked when eating the delicious foods. Capt. Erik was, of course, on a mission to find me my Orca experience and sure enough, he delivered.

Take time to just enjoy the majesty of Alaska!

• Inside Passage Sojourn

Pretty much over the moon. It didn't hurt that the weather gods gave us three sunny days at the beginning and two at the end (esp. in Glacier Bay!). But the scenery, critters (we saw the works), and calving glaciers aside, the flexibility of the small boat, the sense of community both among passengers and between passengers and crew, was extraordinary. And I'm an introvert! 

We loved staying in Ketchikan before the trip started, loved the whole town. The Alaska Dream's only shortcoming was the small lounge and lack of a place to read or write undisturbed--except, of course, the stateroom, which was fine.

Chef B's cooking was very fine, and her imagination made for zero gustatory boredom. The only problem was the high-sugar desserts twice a day. Made for over-stress on the self-control muscles. I gained six (right, 6) pounds!

Be sure to bring your own good binoculars and enough warm clothes to bear up under the KATABATIC WINDS!

Captain Erik Morrow was magnificent--steady, laid-back, warm, yet instilled great confidence. Emily Herman was terrific in every way: enthusiastic, knowledgeable, responsive, experienced, imaginative in her presentations. Everyone on the boat fell in love with her. Ranger Nicole Schaub was equally engaging: really knows her stuff, very articulate, sensitive, and more than anything else, smart about the larger environmental and political issues while still being appropriately politic. We have nominated her for Secretary of the Interior in 2020. We trust she is preparing for that position now. Also, Victoria was a marvelous introduction in Ketchikan. She is grounded, genuine, ironic, and fun.

Nick was great--fun to talk with, quick to respond, clear with materials and information.

This was one of the most outstanding trips I have ever been on. The boat was the perfect size for us, the crew was exceptional, the food was fresh and delicious, and the natural beauty was breath-taking. I cannot say enough positive things about this experience.

I most enjoyed the areas of natural beauty - Misty Fjords and Glacier Bay. Perhaps the highlight of the trip was an unscheduled jet boat add-on trip to a glacier that our captain arranged for us with guides he knew in the local area. The jet boat traveled through increasingly icy water until we were basically plowing through slush, with mother and baby harbor seals surrounding us on the ice floes. We saw a young bull moose swimming in the channel, before rounding the bend and gazing on the glacier, which had ice-blue highlights. While we watched, a giant piece of the glacier calved off, hit the water, and spouted into the air. Other peak experiences were watching breaching orcas and humpback whales, close to the boat. The other experience that was so special was in-depth conversations with the guides on board. Both women were knowledgeable, outgoing, and delightful. And finally, the polar plunge!

The cabins were small, but did not seem claustrophobic. I was impressed at how comfortable the mattresses and comforters were. The showers were tiny, but plenty of hot water. The boat had a very nice lounge area with large viewing windows, where everyone on the trip tended to congregate for good company when we were not out on the decks looking at wildlife and the surroundings. I would definitely travel on this ship again.

The food on board was plentiful and outstanding, as my extra five pounds will attest! Every meal had a fresh seafood option, and all the food was delicious. The crew was so accommodating, as we asked for extra dessert, mixed and matched the side dishes, and tweaked our meals at will.

Captain Eric was the best! He not only got us where we were going in style, but he was friendly and went the extra mile for us. One example: We came back late from our jet boat trip, so had to skip dinner. The crew provided sandwiches for us on the jet boat about 7:30 pm, but by about 10 pm, back on the boat, there were a few hungry people still in the bar area. We started making noises about the left-over venison chili in the kitchen. The bartender (Amy, the amazing zen master of the bar) called Eric, who came down to the kitchen, opened it up, and reheated the chili for us. They then served it for us with complete place settings at the bar.

I need to say a few more words about Amy, who took my 21-year old daughter under her wing and taught her about discerning drinking. She quickly figured out what Kate liked to drink, and concocted new drinks for her, all of which were delicious. She was also unfailingly kind and cheerful - the yoda of mixology.

Finally, I must give a shout-out to Erin and Brittney, our two guides. You could not ask for a nicer, more generous spirited couple of women.

I have no complaints about this area - it's just that most of the transportation was arranged by the Alaskan Dream team.

Everything was great - timely, complete, and clear information.

Pack layers, including one pair of shorts and a couple of short sleeved t-shirts, if you're going in the summer. The temperatures got up to the upper 70's. I should have packed one pair of shoes that were easy to slip on and off for the boat, since we spent a lot of time on the boat traveling around and wildlife viewing.

Rent a yacht in Alaska to explore the wildlife and natural wonders. Private yacht cruises in Alaska offer a completely different type of experience compared to other destinations, but it is nothing less than awe-inspiring – there’s a reason why so many people put Alaska on their bucket lists!

Explore the Inside Passage on a Private Alaska Yacht Charter

The scenery in Alaska is unmatched. On Alaska yacht charters you can see ice-capped mountains surrounded by lush forests with rushing waterfalls cascading into the deep blue ocean waters. You can kayak to a clear mountain lake that is fed by a melting glacier.

Alaska’s best attraction is most definitely a natural one: the outdoors. You will see majestic creatures like black bears, grizzly bears, deer, and bald eagles. As your private boat glides through the water, keep your eyes peeled for signs of aquatic wildlife. You will be able to see a variety of whales, such as humpback whales and orcas. More commonly, while you’re aboard one of our luxury Alaska yacht charters, you might spot porpoises, harbor seals, sea lions, or sea otters.

Alaska is the Perfect Summer Yacht Charter Destination

Alaska holds major appeal for those looking to reserve a tour on a private boat rental, but its greatest shortcoming is its extreme weather, making charter season only a few months long – from mid-May through mid-September.

Summer temperatures are pleasant with highs generally between 55-78° Fahrenheit. Nights are comfortably cool as the temperatures drop to the 50s, meaning you can spend your evenings outdoors or on the deck of the yacht, but you will need a jacket.

Alaska Crewed Motor Yacht Charters

The best way to see Alaska is by chartering your own private motor yacht. A private boat cruise is the ultimate way to explore the Alaskan scenery, from breath-taking glaciers to abundant wildlife and marine life.

If you wish to avoid crowds and spend a fun time full of adventures, let our charter brokers prepare a customize yachting package for you and your family.

Most of the available crewed motor yachts in Alaska are available out of Juneau and Sitka. Be prepared to experience an adventure of a lifetime!

Top Alaska Boat Charter Destinations

The Inside Passage runs from Juneau and Glacier Bay in the north to Ketchikan in the south and puts on a dazzling display of ice.

The coastal mountain ranges and islands of the Inside Passage offer opportunities for fishing, kayaking, wildlife viewing, and hiking.

Tracy Arm Fjord About 70 miles south of Juneau, you’ll find Tracy Arm Fjord, a narrow, inlet with towering, craggy walls. The fjord is fascinating all by itself, with waterfalls and national protected forests along the way. If you’re lucky, you might see a black or brown bear, harbor seals, or wolves in the adjacent Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness.

But the real reason to visit is the fjord’s glaciers. Tracy Arm is home to some of Alaska’s most photogenic glaciers, including Sawyer Glacier. Sawyer is an active tidewater glacier – which means large chunks “calve” off. And when you see it up close, you’ll have the chance to witness one of these massive bergs breaking off and crashing to the sea below, as it’s known to calf regularly.

Glacier National Park If you’re in search of glaciers, you’ll find plenty in Glacier Bay National Park. Located north of Juneau, this UNESCO World Heritage Site offers many spectacular sights to see, including 7 active tidewater glaciers.

Glacier Bay is home to some of Alaska’s largest active glaciers. Grand Pacific Glacier – for instance – sits at the back coast of the bay. It measures two miles wide, with ice walls towering 15 stories. Grand Pacific’s neighbor, Margerie Glacier, though, is the star of the show.

Margerie Glacier is majestic, so no wonder it is a must-see sight for many charter boats. With an ice face measuring 25 stories tall, watching the glacier drop ice into the bay will take your breath away. Beyond the glaciers, the National Park is also an incredible spot for whale-watching, kayaking, and other water sports.

Juneau Juneau is Alaska’s state capital and one of the most beautiful cities in the state. The city can only be reached by airplane or boat, there is no road access. Juneau is the perfect base for starting your Alaska yacht charter.

You can’t visit Juneau without a trip to Mendenhall Glacier. Located just 10 miles from downtown Juneau, the glacier is part of the Juneau Icefield, a photographic panorama of steel blue ice that’s been here since the last Ice Age. More on Juneau .

Sitka Sitka is located on the outer coast of Alaska’s Inside Passage and lies at the heart of the Tongass National Forest, the largest temperate rain forest in the world.   More on Sitka

Ketchikan Ketchikan, a lively fishing and logging community, is located in the southernmost city on the Inside Passage. Also called the “Salmon Capital of the World”, Ketchikan is known for fishing, beautiful scenery, and rich Native culture. More on Ketchikan

Hubbard Glacier Hubbard Glacier – north of Glacier Bay – is North America’s largest tidewater glacier. This is a massive giant you have to see to believe. Measuring 6+ miles wide, the glacier is continuing to grow, or “surge,” and Hubbard towers 40 stories tall.

Hubbard is also one of the most beautiful glaciers in Alaska, with jade blue and frozen sapphire hues. Not only does it wow with its vastness – it’s also a treasure to see up close. The Disenchantment Bay and journey into the fjord put on a show of wildlife. The fjord is home to seal and whale populations, and the region is well-known for its fishing.

Private yachts offer flexible itineraries, based on guests’ preferences. Here are samples of two popular charter routes:

• Juneau to Juneau itinerary
• Juneau to Sitka itinerary

The Alaska Bucket List

Whale watching in Alaska

You can find eight species of whales in the Alaskan waters. Some of the species live in the waters year-round, and some migrate to Alaska in the summer. The most common whales that you will see in Alaska are the Orca and humpback whales . More on whale watching in Alaska .

Seeing a Glacier Up Close and Personal

Most of the time yacht rental vacations include warm tropical waters, but this time around you’re in for something completely different. Nothing is more magical than cruising past towering glaciers while icebergs float on the water and chunks of frozen water crash into the sea below.

Inside Passage glacier, a yacht charter will bring you past walls of ice, stunning waterfalls, and wildlife sunning on floating chunks of ice as they take a break from splashing around. Bottom line, if you fancy yourself an explorer, chartering a yacht in Alaska will let you live your dreams.

Seeing Amazing Wildlife

Cruise through ancient forests and see wildlife in its natural habitat. Look for majestic creatures like black bears, grizzly bears, deer, and bald eagles on land. As your private yacht glides through the water, keep your binoculars ready in anticipation of spotting giant brown bears. Or, you may spy a black bear picking berries from a bush or a gracious moose ambling to the water for a drink.

Such a breadth of knowledge and experience allows us to be flexible and tailor your fishing adventure to your unique needs and interests.

Customized charter packages just for you.

Testimonials, "a great experience always aboard the sea roamer captain mike and first mate erik do everything in their power to make sure you have the best experience. if you want to do more of the work yourself, no problem. they let you get involved. you want to relax and just reel in fish no problem as they'll take care of you.".

Eric Carlton

"I have been fishing in Alaska off and on for 20 years. With Mike and the crew on the Sea Roamer, this was my best trip by far. We have already booked for next September."

Robert O’Neal

"Prior to finding Mike, I fished on five other boats in Sitka during my 30 years of Sitka fishing. There are absolutely no other fishing charters I would even consider as a present-day option. Sea Roamer Charters is the Gold Standard which all the remaining fishermen in Sitka get compared too."

"i have fished a lot, for many years, including many trips with guides. never, however, have i had an experience that equaled the one provided by the sea roamer duo, mike and eric. they know where and how to find the fish, and how to catch them. in our four days of fishing, we caught a lot of fish, including at least 11 species. these included several large and one very large halibut.".
