Discovery has an open floor plan with separate forward, dining and main saloons in addition to outside seating on both decks as well as covered fantail seating.  Rain or shine even at full capacity there is ample room to watch the scenery, socialize, game or read inside or out!

Aside from the boat, which you may have picked up on that I have a bit of an affinity for, there is of course also the captain and crew. My dad John was a commercial troller out of Sitka in the late 70’s so some of my earliest memories were aboard that boat fishing with dad. Although I was too young to be much help then, it is uncanny what young impressionable minds absorb. In kind, marine life has become second nature to our boys from a young age.  Mom, dad and I moved onto a sailboat in 1980 and my spare time was occupied sailing, rowing and playing on the docks. An advantage that started young and blossomed from there. 2024 will be my 44th year chartering in Southeast Alaska and consequently, I know it very well.

It is so beautiful and I love that it is our summer playground that we can share with guests. It is hard to go wrong or be disappointed with Alaska in general, but with so many years of local knowledge we have the advantage of knowing where to look for wildlife and where to drop your lines in when you choose to cruise with us. There are some great boats and operators in Southeast Alaska but many years days and hours of sitting in that Captain’s seat sets us apart for your Alaska cruise.

We are also owner operators and care about the experience for every single guest. This year my wife Jamie will be aboard again keeping the boat looking sharp and guests well taken care of. Also, our son Brandon will join us this season as first mate/deckhand and hopefully one day be the 3rd generation captain.
