Our Boats

Custom-Built Vessels for Real Alaska Adventures

At 49 North Adventures, we operate a fleet of four custom landing craft—designed specifically to serve the diverse transportation needs of Kachemak Bay. Whether you’re heading out for a scenic tour, a remote hike, hauling freight to a yurt, or just crossing the bay with your camping gear and dog, our boats are built to handle the trip safely, comfortably, and efficiently.

All our vessels are U.S. Coast Guard–certified for six passengers, feature bow-loading ramps for easy beach access, and include heated cabins for passenger comfort. Each boat has a specific role in our fleet, but they all share one purpose: to get you—and your gear—where you need to go, without hassle.
