The best local water tour! - Captain Jack is amazing! This trip was personalized to our requests and he did everything he could to take us to the places we were most likely to see wildlife. He had so much local knowledge to share and we felt like we really got a taste for Ketchikan and its culture and history as well as its animal and sealife. You won’t regret booking this!

Must do excursion - What an amazing and personal adventure! Captain Jack was incredibly knowledgeable—not only about the wildlife, but also about the town of Ketchikan. His boat is wheelchair-accessible, very comfortable, and perfectly set up for easy viewing of the spectacular wildlife we saw, including sea lions, eagles, starfish, and more. He was also very responsive to our messages and made everything so convenient by picking us up right at our ship. I highly recommend this excursion—an adventure you won’t want to miss!

An Exceptional Experience - Captain Jack was friendly, knowledgeable, and wanted to provide you with an exceptional experience while on his boat. The boat was newer, clean comfortable and he provided drinks and snacks. He also provided binoculars for viewing wildlife. I highly recommend this excursion while in Ketchikan.

Repeat customer! - Jack had taken me fishing out with Baranoff since 2018 and I’m so thrilled he’s won all these awards to start his own gig. I’m coming out in April and can’t wait to see the new boat. Excellent guide, wonderful company. Always have a great time.
