Ketchikan Yacht Charters

Explore Ketchikan on Your Yacht Charter in Alaska

Located at the southernmost entrance to the Inside Passage, Ketchikan is best known for its abundance of salmon, the beautiful scenery, and its unique Alaska Native culture. The city is ideal for history buffs, photographers, and foodies, thus making a great stop on your Alaska yacht charter.

Native Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian artists use the red cedar from the Tongass Rainforest to create works of art in expressive totem poles. Spruce roots from the forest are harvested for traditional basket weaving. You’ll enjoy not only visiting local museums but also exploring totem parks, both of which display ancient pieces and modern works of art.
