History
North Pacific Expeditions is owned and operated by Digital Avionics Inc., an aviation research and development firm started in 1995 to support the commercial jet aviation industry. Digital Avionics Inc. specializes in ground support equipment including fuel and hydraulic quantity indicators, electrical power generation and other avionics associated analyzer and diagnostic systems. However, as a result of the negative economic impact of 9/11 on the airline industry, the Digital Avionics Inc. owners saw the need to branch out into another sector, creating North Pacific Expeditions in 2010.

North Pacific Expeditions was founded to provide small yacht adventure cruises to and around Alaska and also private charters or dinner cruises in the Puget Sound and British Columbia region. The fleet consists of one luxury cruising yacht, M/Y Sea Star. This small ship cruise yacht was designed by J.B. Hargrave of West Palm Beach and built by the Burger Boat Company in Manitowoc, Wisconsin in 1965. Sea Star (formally “Aquarius”) was the largest all-welded aluminum yacht of its time used by the rich and famous as a pleasure craft. M/Y Sea Star can be chartered for up to 12 guests (day and overnight charters).
