The Experience

What your day looks like

We start off the tour with a nice trip over the whale watching grounds on a 12 mile run to the crabbing location. From there we put your names on the crab pot buoys, bait the pots and toss them over. Huge Dungeness crab, rock crab, and even Puget Sound king/Box crab, starfish and other oddities are hauled up in our crab traps. Approx 2 - 4 hours. If you wish to have the crab cooked and shipped to your home on the future date of your choosing you will need to purchase a one day fishing license for adults ages 16+.

The tour was fantastic and so was our guide. This boat was clean and comfortable, and we had a great time. I would highly recommend this tour opperator.

This couple had a wonderful time. The tour guide was very hands on, and the crab they caught were very fresh! Please make sure you email the tour guide your phone number and email address prior to your excursion.
