The Experience
What your day looks like
Sitka, Alaska offers a great place to whale watch and view other marine wildlife. The city lies in a unique location, nestled between the Tongass temperate rain forest and the Alexander Archipelago. Our waters are home to an abundance of marine life such as sea lions, otters, seals and an array of birds; these waters are also stopped for whales and orcas, which feed on a variety of sea life. Join us as we explore Alaska’s southeast waters aboard our 24-foot seaworthy vessel with both an inside cabin and a forward and aft viewing deck. This allows for a truly intimate experience as we explore coves, islands and search for an array of marine life. Enjoy a more personalized experience with your own boat, a customizable itinerary, and a USCG Licensed captain providing commentary tailored to you on this private trip. Cruise the waters off the coast of Baranof Island looking for whales, seals, otters, and other species in their natural habitat. This 30’ boat has ample deck space and is powered by twin 250 Honda engines making it a superb vessel for southeast Alaska.
