Why
Us
1. Reputation:
The best judge of any business is it's clientele. Ask them about
us. 82% of our clients in the last 5 years are either repeats or
were referred by former clients. In 2004, 9 of our 17 weeks of charter
were repeats. And 6 more were referred to us by prior guests. We
will be proud to supply you with a list of past clients. After sixteen
years in the business, having shared our experience with over 1,500
guests, it is even likely we can provide you with someone who lives
right around the corner from you.
2.
Experience:
Geoff
and Debbie, Nancy and Richard have a combined 70 years chartering in
the
waters of southeast
Alaska. Alaska is what we do. We know where the whales, bears, sea
lions, dolphins, puffin, eagles, salmon and halibut were last year,
last week and where they will be your week. Because we own our vessels
and our business we take extraordinary pride in our product. Because
we appreciate quality and luxury we provide them for you.
3.
Comfort:
The Alaskan Song and the Alaskan Story are safe, fast, tastefully
decorated and very comfortable vessels. They have large interior
spaces with great visibility and covered aft decks and side walkways
for watching wildlife when the weather turns bad. The staterooms
are big and bright with individual temperature controls for heat
and air-conditioning. You are pampered with feather beds and down
comforters and pillows. Each of the cabins has it's own en-suite
bathroom with shower. These vessels were designed by us and are
a result of our company's 17 years in the business of chartering
in Alaska. They are built and maintained to "yacht" quality.
Built not to provide for the most passengers, but to provide the
most for our passengers.
4.
Alaskan Fishing:
One of the great thrills offered visitors to Alaska is the opportunity
to catch a mighty king salmon or a gigantic halibut. On the Alaskan
Song or Alaskan Story you can go out in one of our Boston Whalers
outfitted with down-riggers, radios, fish-finders and new 4 cycle
outboards. Or if you prefer you can fish without ever leaving the
comfort and convenience of your yacht. You can sit on a covered
rear deck and troll for salmon with the crew who, while catering
to all your needs, net and clean your catch for you. We only serve
seafood you, your friends or one of the crew caught, probably hours
earlier.
5. Cuisine:
Everything served will be the freshest available. Of course, the
food is exquisite; truly a highlight of every day.
6. Permits:
Taking passengers for hire in Alaska requires the vessel to be American
built (or specially exempted by Congress). Permits and insurance
are required for any crew going ashore with clients. These rules
are for your protection. We are a business licensed by the State
of Alaska. We have all the permits required by the Alaska State
Department of Fish and Game and the United States Department of
Agriculture, Forest Service for guiding clients in Tongas National
Forest (90% of Southeast Alaska).
Let us show you the true
Alaskan Wilderness in total comfort and safety, and give you and
your family memories that will last a lifetime. Our success has
always depended on our ability to provide the ultimate in travel
experiences to our clients.
