  Really wonderful experience for my children and me. Grayson was incredibly personable and told us a lot about the area and its wildlife. We threw frozen fish off the boat to attract bald eagles and one even caught a fish as my son threw it- it was his favorite excursion of the trip! I get sea sick easily and I was completely fine during this adventure. Thanks for the awesome experience, Grayson!

  

• Great boat, great Captain, great times!

  We went on a 2.5-3 hour whale watching tour a few weeks ago during our cruise stop in Ketchikan. We didn't plan on taking one at first but someone mentioned this business and highly recommended it. We called and met Judah at the boat on the dock to check out the boat and discuss the tour as well as to make sure it would be back in time for our cruise departure. On the phone he claimed he had the best boat in the fleet up there and we just figured this was just a sales claim to get the booking. After checking out the boat, this wasn't just boasting to get a sale, it actually was a very nice boat. It was very clean, the engines looked like they were brand new and the boat looked pretty new as well. We were very impressed with this boat! After discussing the trip with him, he was very specific that since he caters to the cruise travelers, he absolutely makes sure you will return on time to your boat. Between the very clean boat and guarantee that we'd make our boat return time, we took a chance and wasn't disappointed at all. We ended up taking off and there were only a few other people with us on the trip. This allowed us to get an intimate tour and have good conversations with Judah and the other passengers. Although we didn't see any whales due to us going early in the migration season, we did see many sea lions and bald eagles as well as some beautiful waterfalls and other scenic areas on the islands. The lunch was very good as we chose the salmon wrap since we were in Alaska. Chips, homemade cookies, and water were also available. There was even hot coffee, hot chocolate, and hot cider as well which we enjoyed in the cold weather. One thing we liked and were impressed with was his story as a family man and family business. Although he recently started this business, he talked about all his years in Alaska and the different fishing industries he was in. This is where he gained his experience on the water and to know the hotspots of the local wildlife. He also ties his business into the local businesses as well. The sandwiches and cookies are supplied from a local small restaurant. The shirts and magnets and other swag is also supplied from a local shop. Anything he needs that can be supplied from the local businesses, he will get from them. Don't let the low number of reviews fool you, this is a newer top notch whale watching (and lunch!!) experience. As guaranteed, he got us back to our boat in plenty of time! If we ever make it back to Alaskan again, we will definitely be doing this trip again. We wish Judah and his family the best of luck and hope more people get to experience his boat and tour.

  Amazing time with Captain Grayson! Great personality. Was friendly and very attentive to providing an experience tailored for what we desired. Saw lots of whales and saw eagles feeding right in front of us. Fantastic experience! 10/10
