Private Group Charters
Charter a yacht for your group event
Pursue your particular group's or club's affiliation in the most fulfilling manner possible on a yacht cruise that re-defines specialization. Contact us if you are seeking an intensely-satisfying small group experience as a corporate retreat, incentive reward for a company's elite producers, a group of friends that have traveled together year after year, museum members, or groups of any type from 12 to 36 people. Our yachts allow your group to experience nature amongst close friends or comrades, without intrusion.
The destinations from which to choose are the very best for small group travel: Alaska's Inside Passage, Hawaiian Islands, Mexico's Sea of Cortés, the Pacific Northwest/British Columbia and the Columbia & Snake Rivers.
Mexico's Sea of Cortés Yacht Charter
If you're looking for rich outdoor experiences where the "outsiders" are giant whales, thousands of dolphins and sea lions you actually swim alongside, then select Mexico's Sea of Cortés for your group of up to 12.
Alaska Yacht Charter
Add glaciers, cascading waterfalls, bald eagles and words like "sourdough and cheechako," and you are booking your private group on an Alaska yacht safari.
Culinary & Wine Yacht Cruises
Six couples can charter the 12-guest Safari Spirit for a Custom Wine Cruise on the Columbia River in the fall or spring months. Larger groups can charter the 36-guest Safari Explorer. There are more than 400 mostly boutique wineries in Southeast Washington, the Columbia Gorge, Walla Walla and Yakima Valley and Tri-Cities regions where pre-arranged tastings at intimate wineries that rival those of Napa Valley can be arranged. Other themes or special interests can be accommodated.
Features of Private Group Charters
Corporate retreats
An intimate, yet spacious environment for ultimate bonding and team-building. Wildlife viewing, hikes and other outdoor activities create a stimulating and gripping group dynamic. Activities are undisturbed by outsiders, but facilitated by an expert crew.
Equipment: Big screen television with DVD player in the main lounge for meeting presentations or other group activities.
Tax deduction: As an American-hulled vessel under American ownership and crewing, corporate meetings can be eligible for tax deductions.
Corporate gifts: Amenities with the chartering company's logo can be furnished.
Affinity groups
In addition to features listed above, special arrangements can be custom-built around your group's affiliation or primary interest. Are you a group such as the following? Museum members, ornithologists, astronomers, divers, conchologists, photographers, gold rush historians, marine biologists, educators, Board of Directors or President's Club, alumni group, yacht club, or any of a myriad of other special-interest travelers? If so, we can focus on "stars so bright" or make the cruise a "shell searchers' delight." Whatever your interest or affiliation, please contact our sales specialists to discuss the possibilities.
Non-published Itineraries
Also, other private charter opportunities not featured on the web site or in the brochure may be available during fall, winter and spring in the Pacific Northwest, Columbia and Snake rivers or other protected areas along the west coast.
