American Safari Cruises offers all-inclusive yacht
cruise & yacht charter exploration along western
North America's waterways.

Cruise along the innermost waterways of Alaska’s Inside Passage, Mexico’s Sea of Cortés, and the Pacific Northwest. Operating the 36-guest Safari Explorer, 22-guest Safari Quest and 12-guest Safari Spirit, American Safari Cruises specializes in providing exclusive expedition style yacht cruises and yacht charters without sacrificing comfort. Our journeys reveal the essence of each destination through first-hand expertise and knowledge. Along the journey our guests meet the locals living in the smallest, most intriguing villages, gain "insider" access, and explore the area's history, culture, flora, fauna and more...

In Alaska's Inside Passage our sleek and nimble sized yachts bring our guests closer to glaciers, bears, whales, remote forested islands, unnamed coves, unsung vistas and passages less traveled. An exclusive to American Safari cruises is an extended two days of exploration in Glacier Bay National Park. Kayak in Glacier Bay, hike into the pristine forest or walk on centuries old glacial ice with the park ranger and your onboard naturalist. In Mexico's Sea of Cortés, guests experience exceptional views of nature’s marvels such as blue, gray, humpback, pilot, fin & orca whales in one of the world’s richest marine environments. Guests experience compelling cultures, nature and history that the Pacific Northwest embodies on her waterways.

Each cruising itinerary is flexible, providing opportunities to maximize wildlife viewing or other spontaneous adventures that are only accessible to our small groups. From the moment you step aboard the yacht until you departure, a professional crew with a ratio of 1:2 guests handles all the details to ensure you experience the yachting voyage of a lifetime.

Our yachts cruise during daylight hours only, maximizing the opportunity to experience the destination and to view wildlife. Each all-inclusive yacht cruise or yacht charter features a professional Expedition Leader/Naturalist and local guides that provide educational lectures and narration on the destinations as well as arrange behind-the-scenes visits, shore excursions and guided hikes.

Accommodations are elegant in a casual atmosphere. The staterooms feature TV/DVD players, private baths, some with Jacuzzi tubs, Tempurpedic® memory foam mattresses and heated tile bathroom floors. Our flagship yacht, the Safari Explorer, offers Commodore Suites featuring a separate sitting area and a sliding glass door overlooking a small balcony. The Safari Explorer also offers an overall spa influence with complimentary massages from an onboard masseuse, yoga classes and a sauna. All of our yachts feature an on-deck whirlpool spa.

Whether you are at anchor in the deep reaches of a glacial fjord in Alaska, viewing a mother bear with her cubs along the Washington and British Columbia coasts, snorkeling among sea lions in Mexico's Sea of Cortés, following the path of Lewis & Clark on the Columbia and Snake Rivers or tasting wine in Washington’s wine country, American Safari Cruises will take you there in luxurious, personal style.
