About Crewed Motor Yacht BEAR PAW
Bear Paw is a Custom 90 motor yacht offering intimate, fully crewed charters throughout the Pacific Northwest. Built in 1967, she combines classic craftsmanship with modern comfort, accommodating six guests across three spacious king cabins. An internal elevator serves all three decks, ensuring effortless access throughout the vessel.
The interior features warm wood finishes and generous communal spaces designed for gathering and dining together. Each cabin is a walk-around suite with ensuite facilities. The yacht's layout prioritises both privacy and social spaces, ideal for families or groups seeking a refined exploration experience.
Bill and Chrystal, the owner-operators, bring decades of Pacific Northwest maritime knowledge. Their intimate understanding of Southeast Alaska's waterways, combined with professional crew service, transforms each charter into a personalised expedition rather than a scripted itinerary.

The Charter Experience
Explore pristine fjords, wildlife-rich coastlines, and remote anchorages where commercial tourism rarely ventures. Summer months bring exceptional wildlife viewing, including whale migrations, brown bear salmon runs, and prolific birdlife. Activities encompass kayaking, sportfishing for salmon and halibut, beachcombing, and foraging for crab and shrimp. The included tender and water sports equipment enable seamless exploration of shallow coves and protected bays inaccessible to larger vessels.
Suggested Itinerary
Charter Bear Paw from Sitka Harbour and navigate the Inside Passage, anchoring in secluded locations to observe glacier-fed waters, black bear and brown bear activity, and seasonal herring runs that attract thousands of seabirds and hundreds of whales. Alternatively, base your charter in the San Juan Islands, combining orca viewing with day excursions to the Gulf Islands and Canadian waters.
