The Kirsten Anne

John Schnell, Photographer

The Kirsten Anne is a 49' sailing yacht operated by Alaska Sailing Charters from 2007 to 2012. We offered fishing and photography tours for a lifetime of memories. Alaska Sailing Charters pioneered some of Alaska's most spectacular multi-day itineraries aboard this classic twin-masted ketch.

Embark on an Alaskan adventure aboard the now-retired Kirsten Anne, a majestic 49' ketch operated by Alaska Sailing Charters (the predecessor to Alaska Wilderness Charters) that captured the enduring spirit of traditional sailing. Setting sail from picturesque Juneau, she offered an unparalleled journey through the crisp, azure waters of Alaska's coastal wonderland. The Kirsten Anne, commissioned in the late 1970s, was a beacon of maritime heritage, meticulously designed to embrace the challenges and splendor of the Alaskan seas. Now anchored in the local boating community of Petersburg, Alaska, she boasts a legacy of exploration and discovery, reflecting the robust history and untamed beauty of Southeast Alaska.
