The captain was this honestly kind, overly friendly with a royal British accent. The crew were equally friendly. The captain was very artistic in her dialogue, would engage all of us, cracking millions of jokes. A bit of history, the description of animals, birds all made us forget very soon that it was raining. We saw bald eagle, otters, whales, puffins.

We went on this tour as a last minute excursion and had a wonderful day. We saw lots of Sea Otters, Birds and beautiful scenery. Victoria our captain, Jenna, and Lacy did a great job. They were very friendly and took extra care in showing us the wildlife and scenery. The excursion is well worth the price.

We took the day tour to Soldovia with our Captain, Emma (who’s last day was today) and Madeline. They took excellent care of their passengers showing us the scenery and wildlife when out of the blue a whale shows up. We were able to delay heading into Soldovia for a bit to stay around and watch it reappear.

Made the booking the night before for an impromptu fishing adventure. Booking went very smoothly and Captain Dave and the Sizzler did a great job accommodating us and the entire boat limited out. Smooth ride out and back and got to see a breeching whale both ways, puffins, and sea otters as a bonus.

Excellent 1/2 day charter. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They knew everyone by name and made the trip so worthwhile. The seas were calm and everyone caught fish. I would recommend this company to anyone. Easy booking and they are very well organized.
