Professional operation from booking to tour, thorough communications with office staff, reasonable tour rate, unique ride around Kachemak Bay. Captain John and mate Kristy were knowledgeable, personable, and intent on the tour participants having a customized experience. While we did not attempt to find whales, the tour was still packed with sightings, many close-up, of puffins, eagles, common murres, Dall sheep, and otters. The natural scenery around the Bay and coves is breathtaking, and we had a special perspective from the boat. Our tour occurred on a chilly / rainy day - needed the heater in the cabin plus the exterior door closed; be advised there is no rest room facilities on the boat.
