Your tour guide, a Merchant Marine Captain with over 30-years on the water will tour you around Sitka Sound, Saint Lazaria Islands and Mt. Edgecumbe Volcano for active wildlife sightings.
We are based out of Sitka on the western side of Baranof Island, in beautiful Southeast Alaska. We are owned and operated by a year round resident and adventure outfitter. He states, "There's no place I'd rather be or explore than Southeast Alaska. Here we have the bounty of the Pacific Ocean at our doorstep with over 17,000 miles of coastline encompassing the Tongass National Forest, the largest intact temperate rain forest in the world. Our mission is to provide our guests with the rarest of Maritime and Coastal Adventures, while providing an element of added safety as we explore one of the most beautiful places on the edges of the earth."

Outer Coast Charters provides private, small group scenic and wildlife boat tours. Our custom adventures all benefit from the comfort and safety of our Suzy-Q Stabicraft. Built in New Zealand, Suzy-Q is a double-hulled aluminum Stabicraft 2500 Ultracab XL safety boat. Every tour is custom designed depending on the weather and seas, and where wildlife might best be seen each day. If seas allow it, we will travel to the Saint Lazaira Islands. Alternatively, we will cruise Sitka Sound and its endless array of islands and coves to provide your party with the best adventure possible. Your private charter will focus on the best locations for scenic and wildlife and photography which may include: Humpback and Grey Whales, Sea Otters, Sea Lions, Dolphins, Harbor Seals, Orcas, Baranof Brown Bears, Eagles, Puffins, assorted Seabirds, as well as amazing Volcano, Mountain and Ocean Views.
If seas allow, we will travel to the Saint Lazaira Islands. St. Lazaria Island is a nesting bird colony located twenty miles (32 km) west of Sitka, Alaska and is a part of the Gulf of Alaska unit of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge. It was originally designated as a "refuge for seabirds" in 1909 and received official Wilderness Designation from congress in 1970. It was added to the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge in 1980. The main island is thought to be the remnants of a now eroded volcano; a "volcanic plug" whose cliffs are home to more than half a 1 million various species of sea birds.

Captain Chris did a great job and we quite enjoyed this tour and wildlife. Our group was just four and I prefer the small tours.

Great experience with Captain Chris! Great communication, picked us up on time from our ship and spent a great day on the water! Saw otters, whales, sea lions and eagles - the views from the water were stunning, from quiet inlets and waterfalls to the open water. Highly recommend this tour - safe, reliable and friendly operator!

Had a great trip with Captain Chris. Very knowledgeable and took great care of us. We saw lots of marine life and kept our eyes peeled for other animals like bald eagle and bears. Also pointed out a lot of mountains, land slides etc. well worth the trip.

Captain Chris made our day on the water one of the most memorable of our entire vacation. We saw a bear eating salmon as well as whales, otters, eagles and sea lions. And he was so knowledgeable about the history of the area. We would definitely work with Captain Chris again.

Captain Chris gave us a day we will never forget. The area is so beautiful, and we saw all kinds of wildlife up close. He went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and provided fascinating commentary during the journey. You simply can't get an experience like this with just anyone, and being in a small boat and able to dart to different spots to catch the wildlife is essential. Do yourself a favor and take this tour, skip the group tour. Its worth every penny!!!

Great experience with Captain Chris! He gave us a lot of information, and made sure we saw plenty of wildlife; including whales, sea lions and sea otters. Since the tour was just for us, everything was tailored to exactly what we wanted to see- and the pricing was comparable to what we would have paid through the cruise line. Would 100% recommend- best excursion of our trip!

Chris is a great guide and captain. Informative and adaptable to what ever we wanted to see. He was responsive to his passengers’ needs and requests. Put us all at ease from the minute we stepped on the boat.

We had a great private charter. The directions to find the Captain were very clear. Captain was friendly showed us different areas and gave us history to the area. Didn’t promise whales, but we were very fortunate to see several whales on our excursion and was able to get pictures! We saw seals, river otters, eagles, and crazy enough a deer! I was very impressed with our wildlife experience. I love that it was just our small group!
