Why did Outside Magazine call us "one of the best ways to explore Southeast Alaska"? Reminiscent of yesteryear's adventure travel aboard Joseph Conrad's steamers and James Michener's copra schooners, Home Shore is a working commercial vessel with yacht-like amenities. As a small cruise ship, she promises an unparalleled experience—safety, Old World charm, and a crew of friendly adventure guides.
With a shared 40-year history in Southeast Alaska, Home Shore and Captain Jim Kyle were once known by locals as a successful team in the commercial salmon fleet. More recently, our family's elegant carvel-planked ship has gained a reputation in chartering circles as a premier mode of adventure travel.
Whether you are a beginner or expert in adventure travel activities—kayaking, whale and bear watching, hiking, glacier excursions, fishing, natural hot spring soaks—we will customize a trip just for you. We are careful to arrange groups with similar interests, so every guest enjoys the ideal itinerary. Choose from three stunning routes (Chichagof, Mainland Glacier, Baranof) and we will adapt to your whims and special opportunities. This is your voyage!
In addition to adventure, we specialize in comfort. Gourmet meals, an excellent selection of beer and wine, and homemade treats are rivaled only by soft beds and hot showers as top-rated luxuries. Your private above-deck stateroom, filled with light and fresh air, reflects the warmth and quiet that is celebrated in classic wooden yachts. For relaxation, lounge in our heated solarium or visit Captain Kyle's hospitable wheelhouse for 360-degree views and tales of local lore. Join us this season aboard Home Shore , one of the best ways to explore Southeast Alaska!
