KAYANA (Vosper Thornycroft 37m)

At 124’ and 200 tons, the MY Kayana is the world’s best luxury expedition mega yacht to help you experience Alaska, the “Last Frontier”. For the past decade elite luxury travellers and celebrities have praised her unique layout with six richly appointed staterooms, three dining areas, extended main salon, media/game centre, spa room, two day heads, bridge lounge, activity deck, Eco viewing/sunning/workout deck, and largest staff capacity. But, mostly they love her crew - pampering, caring, multi talented people. The most experience in Alaska. Coupled with the most extensive amenities (kayaks, fishing, crabbing, etc.), the finest cuisine and the best wine cellar in the region, they are eager to take you, your family, friends and associates on an “Expedition to the Extraordinary”, what many have said was the trip of a lifetime.

The Kayana and her sister-ship, Katania, is from this area. We grew up here, have sport fished these waters for decades and started this company to cater to elite clientele who’s luxury expedition mega yachting needs were not being properly met in Alaska. We often found that white fibreglass yachts would arrive from the Caribbean or California with only four staterooms, jet skis on top, limited crew capacity, no covered outdoor dining, white carpet, no wet/cold weather gear, limited fishing/crabbing/kayaking amenities, inexperience staff, and no local supplier/guide/airlift relationships. They would try for a few charters. They quickly learned that Alaska is different, much different, and would head back after a season or so. Waters full of icebergs, logs, raging tidal currents (up to 28 feet), no ports en route, limited supplies, and minimal good anchorages was not easily for the inexperienced. For warm weather crews used to shuttling from port to port for guest to visit the local bars and shops, a solid week at sea in a rain forest region where there were more bears than people was just too much. They’d head back south.

Thus, we set out in 1999 to buy and refit some of the strongest built, best classic expedition yachts and bring them to the Northwest and Alaska, and alternate destination, Mexico. In all areas we have substantial investments in related travel destinations and can supply the best full time crew and port support. No other single vessels operations can do this. We are a business dedicated to providing the ultimate land and sea adventures for wealth travellers. We have chartered to business leaders, politicians, investors, and movie stars over the last 12 years, and many have said it was their best adventure ever. We think you will too.
