The SeaPiper offers 2.5 hour marine tours, for up to 16 guests, in the beautiful waters of Sitka Sound. Some of the wildlife we typically encounter include brown bears, bald eagles and a variety of sea birds. Sitka Sound is also home to Steller sea lions, sea otters, humpback whales, orcas, and Dall’s porpoise. In a single tour often multiples of these species are spotted.

Since the Sea Piper is also a working commercial fishing vessel, Captain Matt will educate his guests on the working fishing industry and the boats capabilities. Interested guests have the opportunity to ask questions about the fishing gear aboard and its methods. Captain Matt is very knowledgeable about the commercial fishing industry and sustainable fisheries in Sitka and Southeast Alaska, with 20 years of in-action experience. There will not be a fishing demonstration, as the 2.5 hour tour is focused on exploring the wildlife of Sitka Sound.

Light refreshments including coffee, tea, hot chocolate, hot apple cider, and water are available. A light snack is also provided aboard. Captain Matt and his crew ensure each tour provides guests a warm and inviting, family- friendly, and personalized Alaskan experience. Bring your camera and rain gear. We’ll provide the rest!

Rates start at $185 per person and will be confirmed upon booking.
