WELCOME ABOARD

The Sea Mist is a 78 foot Knight and Carver custom built yacht. She’s equipped with top of the line stabilizers, ensuring a smooth ride even in choppy waters . This yacht is beautifully appointed with Koa wood trim and a 22 foot beam. The spacious interior and luxurious livability is comparable to a much larger vessel. With 3 private staterooms and 4.5 bathrooms spread over 3 levels, this is the ultimate choice for an unparalleled Alaska charter experience.

Staterooms are appointed with top of the line mattresses, generous down comforters and crisp Egyptian cotton sheets. Each has its own private in-suite bathroom, generous closet space and drawers allowing you to conveniently store your belongings. There are three suites in total; the Chinook Suite, Sockeye Suite and Coho Suite. The Chinook Suite boasts deluxe queen-sized pillow top bed, his and hers closets and an extra generous bathroom. Whatever your mood, there is a space to accommodate. Quiet reading nooks, out-door sunning, cocktails and music with friends. There are plenty of spaces to have fun with the rest of the guests or get away for some quiet time.
​
The main salon is a spacious common area that doubles as the primary dining area for dinner service. There’s a monitor available for plugging in your devices to watch a movie, or you can even use it to view your photos or videos that you captured that day. Wrap around windows allow you to always keep your eye on the water and maybe even catch a sunset whale-breaching show.
