Alaskan Yachts is proud of its shipbuilding heritage, which has a long history that dates back to the 1960s, starting with the construction of its wooden trawlers. Alaskan Yachts builds fiberglass semi-displacement motoryachts that resemble the traditional trawler. Alaskan motoryachts utilize the latest technology in yachting, along with luxury amenities.
Alaskan Yachts, a leader in explorer, expedition, and trawler yacht construction, dates back to the early 1960s, when the first 49' wooden trawlers designed by Robert S. Doris were built. Built in Hong Kong, the wooden trawlers became popular throughout the 1960s and 1970s, with the iteration of the Alaskan Trawlers appearing in the early 1970s.
In 1996, Arthur DeFever designed a new fiberglass 53 Alaskan RPHY. This innovation paved the way for the next generation of Alaskan Yachts, including the “Grand Alaskan” that was launched in 1997. The Alaskan 43 was unveiled at the 1998 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. A huge success, it became an instant sensation in the yachting community and has led to the production of more stylish and seaworthy yachts in the Alaskan Yacht model line. Alaskan Yachts’ fleet ranges from 55 to 100 feet, with its newest build, the 100-foot Alaskan Trideck.
