Stay on a Classic 49' Chris-Craft Yacht in Southeast Alaska – Vintage Charm Meets Waterfront Adventure

Step aboard Bigenuff II, a fully restored 49-foot Chris-Craft yacht offering a rare and unforgettable stay on the water. Docked in a peaceful harbor just minutes from downtown Juneau, this mid-century liveaboard delivers the perfect mix of character, comfort, and Alaskan spirit.

Originally crafted during the golden era of American boatbuilding, Bigenuff II is part of the Chris-Craft legacy—known for timeless style and quality craftsmanship. After a loving restoration, she’s ready to welcome guests aboard for a truly unique experience.

🛏 Sleeps 2–4
• Two cozy sleeping areas with vintage nautical charm
• Thoughtfully decorated salon with panoramic harbor views
• Full galley kitchen for preparing simple meals on board
• Hot shower, flush toilet, shore power, and WiFi available
• A cozy salon for morning coffee, evening wine, or wildlife watching

🚤 The Experience
Wake up to the gentle sway of the water and the sounds of seabirds. Spend your day exploring Juneau’s trails, restaurants, and attractions—then return to your floating retreat for a quiet night under the stars. Whether you’re a boating enthusiast or just looking for something off the beaten path, Bigenuff II offers an unmatched way to experience Southeast Alaska.

📍 Location
Docked at Fishermen's Bend, in Auke bay a short 10 minute drive from the airport. Easy access to hiking trails, local eateries, and excursions like whale watching or glacier tours.

This is a classic yacht stay—not a luxury cruise ship. Expect vintage charm, cozy quarters, and an authentic maritime vibe. If you're looking for a unique stay with soul, you're in the right place.

**Please note: Bigenuff II is a stationary yacht and remains securely docked in its slip throughout your stay. It is not available for cruising or operation.**
Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, 1.5 bathrooms, and a patio.
