Cruising SE Alaska

We are keen to cruise to SE Alaska next summer. The question is how to do it?
The options we are exploring:
1. Buy a boat, do the trip and sell it again.
2. Charter.
3. Ship our own boat from New Zealand and sell it or ship it back afterwards.
Our current boat is fairly small and we can ship it by flat rack.
The best quote so far is around USD11,000 for shipping the boat.
Charter for around the same size seems to be USD5,000 a week (but I’m open to offers)
We would far sooner do the trip in our own boat and maybe even bump on down the coast to San Francisco in the late summer.
We have circumnavigated a bigger boat in the past and lived aboard that one for five years.
So we have a rough idea what we are doing at sea.
If we do import to sell which would be easiest, US or Canada?
If we bring our own boat do we ship to Vancouver or Seattle?
Thanks in advance
