Adventure Alaska Coastal Charters
Goodhand Charters of Valdez
Remote Live-Aboard Yacht Vacations

Welcome aboard! We are featuring customized destination vacations aboard the liveaboard M/V KnightHawK. Our premium adventure 5 day/4 night trip is a superior adventure. Other vacation lengths may be available depending on our schedule.

The KnightHawK has two private staterooms for your comfort. The aft stateroom, or the "family bunk room," offers 4 large single bunks and a private bath with shower, perfect for the family of 4, or friends vacationing together. Across from the small galley is our crew quarters and pantry. The forward stateroom sleeps two - three, featuring both a full size double bed and small single bunk, with a shared bath and shower stall.

Between the forward and aft staterooms, you will find a spacious salon with an L shaped settee and other over-stuffed seating. In the salon you will find books, games, wet bar, coffee that's "always on," and other forms of entertainment. The aft covered sundeck overlooking the fishing cockpit provides extra seating anytime, and can be "opened up" in good weather. The pilot house provides seating with a 360 degree birds-eye view of Prince William Sound. Enjoy all of your meals and snacks made fresh daily from our galley, while taking in the sites and sounds of life on the water.

Tour activity options include viewing tidewater glaciers, hiking in the rainforest, whale watching, bird watching, kayaking, fishing, beachcombing, viewing sea otters, sea lions, seals, eagles, bears and other wildlife in their natural environment. Ever watched salmon try to navigate waterfalls? Ever seen streams so full of salmon that bears can't miss catching fish? You can.

We are looking forward to being able to offer you a totally customized charter, tailored to your desires.
