"We went out on Alaska Bay Charters last summer in Sitka and it was such a memorable experience. We saw seals and a sea lion, and the scenery alone was absolutely stunning. Sitka is just breathtaking from the water. Chad was knowledgeable and friendly and made the whole trip enjoyable and relaxing. You can tell they really care about giving guests a great experience. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!"
"Such an awesome day in Sitka Sound! Chad grew up fishing these waters and you can certainly tell! He knew so much history about the area and information about wildlife. The ride was super smooth and safety is obviously a priority. The scenery was stunning and the whole trip was well run. As someone who loves being outdoors, this was exactly my kind of day. I'd go again in a heartbeat!"

"The highlight of my trip to Alaska was when I went to the Goddard Hot Springs tubs on a charter boat with my local friend from Sitka. The ride there was like being in a movie: whales, sea lions, and islands crowded with trees right to the shorelines. The tubs were secluded, away from civilization, and were a quiet sanctuary for us. I personally recommend Alaska Bay Charters to be the vessel through which to experience this incredible place"
"My daughter and I visited Sitka for the first time and decided to see the sights from the water aboard Alaska Bay Charters. It was amazing! Chad was friendly and welcoming, we felt like it was a day out with family. Chad was so knowledgeable about the area, pointing out sights of interest and sharing their history. The boat itself was clean and comfortable with plenty of room to move around to get the best views of the marine life we encountered along the way. The photos we captured of the stunning coast are awesome. If you get the chance to book a trip with ABC don't hesitate. It will be one of your best memories of your visit to Sitka- it certainly was for my family!"
