Life on Alaska’s WILD West Coast! A Vanishing Frontier? Sailing the Gulf of Alaska

We set sail along the untamed edge of the Gulf of Alaska - where the wild Pacific Ocean meets steep, forested mountains and weathered islands that feel like the end of the earth. In this video, we navigate exposed coastline, offshore swell, and narrow passages to remote Alaskan outposts — small, isolated communities clinging to the rugged shoreline. Accessible only by boat or floatplane, these towns feel like a step back in time — part of what many call “The Last Frontier.” If you’ve ever dreamed of sailing to the edge of the map — this is it [Filmed August 2024] 🔔 Subscribe to follow our full Alaska sailing series!
