Frederick Sound

Wild Fjords & Majestic Wildlife: Yachting Through Frederick Sound

Frederick Sound in Southeast Alaska is a dramatic and thrilling destination for yacht charters. Towering glaciers and steep fjord walls line the channel as yachts glide through calm, iceberg-dotted waters. Wildlife sightings are frequent—humpback whales, orcas, porpoises, and seals thrive in the rich marine environment. Active tidewater glaciers, like South Sawyer, calve icebergs into the channel—a breathtaking spectacle from deck or tender. Beneath the water, vibrant kelp forests offer excellent snorkeling in protected coves. Onshore, guests can hike to alpine lakes, fish for salmon or halibut, and explore native Tlingit villages. Long summer daylight allows late-night cruising under soft Arctic light. With its untouched alpine scenery and abundant marine life, Frederick Sound delivers a remote, immersive, and unforgettable wilderness charter experience.
