We tailor it to your interests.  Click here to watch a video of what you can experience  

The animals are always on the move, and fish have tails, so you never know what will be around the next bend. That is the fun of an Alaskan adventure.  

We take you through the ice, closer to glaciers, and travel across waters where others can’t go due to the challenges of the sea with our 85 ft custom expedition yacht. This motor vessel is built for Alaska with a steel hull for bumping up against the ice and NIAD stabilizers for a comfortable cruise!

During our 50 years, we have accumulated over 800 US Forest Service permits, so we take you to remote areas other charters can't go.

Our 8-pole halibut permit allows you to catch that Alaskan "butt" halibut!

Our Naturalist will share the facts and history of wildlife and Southeast Alaska. 

You will leave with a newfound experience of the freshest seafood caught from our Alaskan waters, incredible photographs, and, most importantly, the trip of a lifetime!

 We will cruise Frederick Sound exploring the wildlife. You will see  Steller sea lions, otters, seals, and multiple other bird species. Remember, we can't ever predict what the fish and animals may do, so we can't guarantee what marine life you will get to see, but that is part of the adventure!
