Alaska Sea to Shore

"Wow! I have been out with them a few times and I plan to keep coming back! Renee and Winston are absolutely top notch, they really care about the whales, and they are as excited to see the first whale as the last. They are definitely not your average whale-watching business---these are the folks that film crews call. I cannot guarantee that your day(s) with them will also involve a large number of 40 ton animals exploding out of the water, time and time again, but there is only one way to find out. Their boat is big enough to be very comfortable, but small enough to be exclusive to a handful. It is especially unique in that the bow drops, allowing you to walk onto a remote beach for a stroll or a kayak drop-off."

"Glorious, exciting, peaceful, everything we hoped for and more. Whales just a few minutes out of the Marina. Winston our captain knew just where to look, and was able to answer all our questions. The waters are sheltered and calm. Beautiful sights and views as we traveled from sighting to sighting. Herbert, and mama Junoite choose to bless us as they passed with in about 30ft of the boat. We just floated and watched as baby Herbert "splashed" his flippers in the air. A group of adults bubble netting and feeding was the crescendo! Worth every penny! Winston was a pleasure and fresh cookies from his wife were a "sweet" bonus. Side note being a smaller boat and private allowes everyone unhindered views. The bigger boats had everyone crowded to the rails trying to see and tipping those boats to comical degrees."

"Such an amazing experience. Renee and Winston were a dream. Prompt and courteous for pickup and then we quickly became friends. They had freshly baked chocolate chip cookies waiting for us on the boat. The boat was laid out in a super friendly and efficient way for viewing whales as well as learning about them. And boy did Renee and Winston know their stuff. We were very lucky to see all the whales we did but I also think that was because we were put in such a winning situation by Renee and Winston with a high probability of success. They even found time to play games with my 8 year old and had little animal toys for her to play with and learn. They even let her drive the boat! And when she got a splinter from playing on the dock, Renee drove us to her house after to get tweezers. Would recommend highly!"

"Winston and Renee were the best. I got to see my first humpback(s) and Dall’s porpoises! Never felt rushed and they were happy to answer any questions we had. Would highly recommend to anyone!!!"

"We had the most amazing trip with Captain Winston back in June with our family! Great for all ages, we were traveling with kids and grandparents! The scenery was stunning and saw so much wildlife. Watching sea lions play and sunbathe was so fun. We also saw whales and eagles too. We landed on a small island to hike around and explore the beaches! Would highly recommend this local family’s company, they go above and beyond to make their trips special!"
