Adventure Kayaking Cruises

Mothership tours of Prince William Sound, Alaska are the best way to see the sights with the extra comforts of a live-aboard boat. Hike, cruise, and kayak the remote bays of Alaska.

On all of our charters we focus on having a great vacation, staying comfortable*, enjoying the company, and seeing as much of Prince William Sound as possible. Each tour is catered by an experienced and very personable staff. The captain will transport everyone safely to the daily destination and will always share his many stories of adventure. A talented cook will prepare 3 mouth watering meals a day, charm you with their caring nature and always fill a mug with your favorite hot drink. And last but certainly not least, your guide will show you the wonders of Prince William Sound in a safe and enjoyable manner, with endless kayaking and naturalist knowledge
