Being with Capt Sonny was a great experience. As we found out through his introduction, our small group had a unique chance to be guided by a Tlingit native who knows these waters and respects these amazing mammals. His sense of humor and knowledge of the whales, eagle nesting sites and Sitka sound made this a complete joy. In his safety briefing, he asked us to help him "bring back the onboard safety vests in their unopened, unused packaging" and with his skills we safely did just that! The boat was modern, clean and comfortable. (Twin Yamaha outboards gave it plenty of get up and go when out in open water.) The tour coordinator at Centennial Hall was very well organized and checked to ensure she had us all ready to go when the boat and Capt did it was time. We definitely got our money's worth and Capt Sonny helped us all get our memory shots by telling us about the whale dive cycles so we knew when to be ready with our cameras. The fun part was trading shots with others on board! It was a great outing and we so appreciate Captain Sonny making it a great day!

Excellent Tlingit captain and very knowledgeable about the area. Wasted no time in getting to the eagles, whales, seals and otters. The manager also suggested a great lunch place. Very memorable day in beautiful Sitka!!

We made last minute reservations & so stoked we did! Bruce & Rhonda were welcoming and helpful. Sonny our captain was just delightful, informative & playful. He showed us eagle nests, we saw probably 20 whales, and the scenery was absolutely stunning… even with rain on and off. We see many whales where we live on Maui, and it was great to see where they feed & call home. Awesome that the boat only seats six, very comfortable. Mahalo a nui loa, thank you for the aloha in Alaska!
