Whale Watching Icy Strait Point Hoonah Alaska

Captain Billy is the real deal. He grew up in Hoonah, making him very familiar with the local geography and wildlife. We had a last minute (<24 hrs) cruise itinerary change and when I emailed him from the ship, he was already aware of the new arrival date and had a plan in place to get us on the water. He took us straight to the whales with a quick pit stop to see a bear walking on the beach. We saw pods of orcas, a large humpback, and then we hit the jackpot with a mother humpback and her BREACHING calf. We stayed and enjoyed his acrobatics until he wore himself out. It was AMAZING! We will never forget this trip. The next time we make it to Alaska, we’re calling Captain Billy!

Sailing Alaska Inside Passage Morgan 46' Sailing Vessel For Hire

We had a wonderful afternoon on John's boat! He made a delicious lunch and we saw some beautiful parts of SE Alaska. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore this very special part of the world. Can't do Juneau without getting out on the water!

Enjoy Fishing on 22' Hewescraft Pro V 200 Fishing Boat in Whittier, Alaska

Ryan's boat was fantastic. It was clean and in good shape. He provided all the fishing gear we needed for the fish we wanted to catch. We booked with the captain option and his father in law took us out as the captain. He was very helpful and did just what we wanted. We were looking for a more hands-on/DIY fishing trip, and that's exactly what we got. Having the captain option to handle the boat was great. Ryan was flexible on time/day and willing to move locations due to weather. We will definitely look for Ryan in the listings for any future boat rental needs in Alaska.

Go Fishing on 22' Hewescraft Pro V 200 Fishing Boat in Seward, Alaska

We rented out of Seward before our cruise. Rental and communication were seamless and effortless. Boat was well equipped and maintained. We weren’t going to fish, but dropped a line as an after thought. Caught a Pacific Cod! We highly recommend Ryan and his boats to anyone seeking a day of self-guided adventure. Our trip was amazing!!

We had an amazing time boating in Resurrection Bay! The boat was in condition and reliable. We were provided with all the fishing gear and caught a lot of halibut and rock fish. Views of the glacier and amazing landscape were beautiful from the boat.

Definitely something for experienced boaters only, but it was awesome! They give you advice on when/where to fish. In Resurrection Bay, so many places to explore. We were able to find a calm cove where we cooked fresh caught salmon and watched a humpback whale feeding right next to us! Super helpful with everything and would definitely rent from them again.
