My friend and I had an absolutely wonderful time on this tour! It completely exceeded our expectations. We live in Ketchikan and had a day off, so we decided to come along and see what the excitement was about, and it was definitely worth the day trip. Captain Kevin, Dave, and Big D were friendly, funny, enthusiastic and told great stories about their lives and the history of the company as well as their experiences with fishing. The deckhands, Hailey, Melissa and Peyton, were also so friendly and helpful, clearly very versed in customer service and love their jobs working working on this boat. We saw crabs, whales, eagles, and even an octopus! Thank you to all the staff who made our experience one of a kind.

Great trip! My teens loved it and so did my 9 year old niece. Great workers and very accommodating to all people. They even give you tips on how to use your camera. Highly recommend!

Enjoyable and educational. Was able to hold different types of crabs and sea life. Was able to see bald eagles very close up. Seats comfortable and staff very engaging.

Exciting experience on an actual crab boat modified for tourists. The crew kept us well entertained with their experiences and showing us how crabs are caught. They even brought a live octopus up in a trap and enlightened us on this amazing sea creature. We visited eagles and got to see them up close. Great tour that makes for a memorable experience in Ketchikan.

I could do this trip 100 times and never get tired of it. The crab fishing was so fun but the stop to see all the bald eagles was truly an experience of a lifetime. Wonderful crew, learned a lot and had a blast! Great for families too.

Inspire14249502425

Great and informative tour on a boat with knowledgeable crew. They worked hard during not ideal weather to make sure everyone had good time. The tour is pretty crowded, so come early to get the best seats. We had great time

A truly great experience! The team showed the life of a crab fisherman. The king crab for lunch was great. The experience of the Bald Eagles was amazing. The entire crew was very personable and their many years of crab fishing on the Bering Sea was obvious. The Alleutian Ballad was also featured on the series, Deadliest Catch. I highly recommend this experience.
