Bering Sea Crab Fishermen's Tour
It has become legendary; The Discovery Channel’s Emmy Award winning television series, Deadliest Catch. And on season two of that program, viewers watched in amazement as a crab boat was hit by a massive rogue wave, rolling it onto its side during a treacherous storm. That boat was the Fishing Vessel Aleutian Ballad, and today you have the opportunity to step on board and into the amazing world of Alaskan crab fishing. The ship has a fascinating and colorful history as a commercial crab fishing boat. When you step on deck for the tour, you may just find yourself sailing with several captains and crew members you know from the television series. A few noticeable differences are apparent; comfortable protected seating for guests and a “live tank” where you can enjoy an up close view of the days catch.
Allen Marine Misty's Tour
Explore Misty Fjords, one of nature’s most spectacular creations, while cruising in luxury aboard one of the fastest sightseeing vessels in Alaska. Voyage into Behm Canal, surrounded by the pristine beauty of Misty Fjords, described by John Muir as the Yosemite of the North. Along the way you’ll stop to view an active bald eagle’s nest, a Tlingit pictograph, and New Eddystone Rock; an immense volcanic spire rising from the emerald sea. Delight in the unhurried exploration of Rudyerd Bay, an ice-carved masterpiece deep within the Monument. Here, you’ll learn the natural history of the fjords, listen to the call of nesting sea birds, and feel the mist of glistening waterfalls while gliding quietly beneath 3000-foot glacier-sculpted cliffs. On the cruise back to Ketchikan, enjoy a selection of snacks and beverages while watching for whales, seals, eagles and other wildlife.
