    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.**

Great place! The only reason I’m giving it fewer stars is because VRBO listed the location as being in downtown Juneau when the boat is actually located in the Valley. This was a VRBO listing issue and was not the hosts’ fault. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful when we brought the location issue to their attention and did everything they could to help.We absolutely loved the boat and the setup. We sat on top watching sunsets every night and even got to watch seals haul out onto the docks. It was such a unique and peaceful experience. Falling asleep to the sound of the rain and gently rocking with the boat was honestly one of my favorite parts of the stay.Even with the location discrepancy on VRBO, we would absolutely stay here again. We could not rave enough about how unique and memorable this stay was! And got to also explore a new area of Juneau!
