Owner Operator Captain Jonathan Yoors, age 36 in 2025, is originally from the small fishing village of Rockport, Mass.
He resides in SE Alaska, and is married with one child. 2025 will be his 8th summer operating in SE Alaska.
He has captained boats worldwide, but his favorite place is SE Alaska. Jonathan loves to share fishing, hiking, kayaking, exploring wilderness and enjoying all the abundant nature and wildlife SE Alaska uniquely offers.
Jonathan is a US Coast Guard Licensed 500-ton Captain with over 16 years of yachting experience (since age 18!). He has run larger motor yachts in the Bahamas and Caribbean, New England, including charter. Jonathan also has 22 years of owning and captaining his own boats (since age 12!), so you have a very experienced Captain at the helm.
He is joined by 2 additional crew members as Chef and Steward / Mate.
August 2024 USA family charter comments:
“This trip filled our buckets for the next 10 years, at least! I finally get to use the expression, you really run a tight ship! The contrast between our regular lives and the pure magic and majesty we experienced on this trip is unimaginable. All of us feel immensely lucky and grateful to you for planning each day perfectly, keeping us safe on the bear walks, feeding our tummies and our souls, and giving us so much joy, knowledge, and laughter. Every view and animal sighting was beyond our wildest dreams. We are convinced that the whales know and love your boat and you, and that’s why they gave us such a spectacular show. As I walk through the halls of the State Department in DC, I’ll call out “hey bear” in your same soothing tone. Next time – and there will be a next time – we will listen to you about the hunting harassment laws and rain boots….promise. And Sarah, we already feel bereft knowing we won’t have your midnight cookie dough and brownie batter. We are so deeply sad for this week to come to an end. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.P.S. Does it really rain in Alaska?”

ALASKAN SONG has been a legendary charter yacht in SE Alaska, and for Summer 2023 has new Owner Operators!
3 spacious outside deck areas provide ideal places for watching (and photographing) whales and wildlife! The Main Deck has safety railings all around.
Going inside, one door enters the Library / Aft Salon with couch, card table with chairs, wet bar with sink, locking liquor cabinet, ice-maker and extensive teak moldings, doors and cabinetry.
The pilot house is raised up three steps which yields excellent visibility forward and to both sides and doors out both sides.
Further forward, you step down to the Main Salon & Galley with side and forward view windows.
ALASKAN SONG was built in wood as a high-speed Air/Sea Rescue boat for the US Army Air Corps at the end of WWII. In the mid-1970s she was stripped to a bare hull. A naval architect designed a new layout, the below deck bulkheads were rearranged, a new plywood and fiberglass deck was laid, the all-aluminum superstructure was fabricated and installed, and a custom teak interior was crafted.
