  ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable, World-Class Adventure with Captain Chris! If you are looking for a charter captain in Sitka who is deeply dedicated to fulfilling your dream adventure, look no further than Captain Chris. We booked a private tour with a specific vision in mind which was to see the local wildlife and experience the magic of St. Lazaria Island. Captain Chris went above and beyond to make it happen! The ocean threw some serious elements at us, requiring Chris to navigate through significant 10-to-15-foot rolling waves. While that might sound intimidating, his thoroughness with safety and expert boat handling kept us feeling completely secure and comfortable the entire time. Because of his determination, we made it out to Saint Lazaria Island, and it felt like stepping into Avatar's Pandora. It is a stunning, otherworldly place. Not only did we circle the beautiful island, but we were lucky enough to spot the very first puffins of the season! Look up into the trees, and bald eagles were looming high above the canopy. It was breathtaking. From there, the wildlife just kept coming. We spotted a sea otter floating along tightly holding its baby. To top off an already perfect day, Captain Chris took us into a quiet bay where we encountered 4 to 5 Gray whales. They were so close to the boat it was absolutely beautiful, a memory our family will cherish forever. Beyond being an elite captain, Chris is just a phenomenal host. He kept us stocked with great snacks and drinks, and he was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to my elderly in-laws, ensuring they had the trip of a lifetime without any stress. Thank you, Captain Chris, for your dedication, your expertise, and a flawless day on the water. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

  Marco asked and Kelly said yes . Captain Chris accommodated Marco’s marriage proposal request on this beautiful trip. The only thing that could top the proposal and my daughter’s total surprise was Captain Chris’s ability to seek and find spectacular scenery and amazing wildlife. We simply floated at one point with engines off and trimmed up and a 40ft grey whale was spotted. The whole family loved our encounter. Great spring weather on a very stable boat with a warm cabin on this special family day . I highly recommend Captain Chris’s cruise eco trip. He has tremendous knowledge of the area and the birds, sea lions and whales . This was a once in a lifetime experience and the absolute highlight of our Alaska trip . If we ever saw a whale off the large cruise boat we would just state that nothing would compare to Captain Chris trip . Captain Chris also has tremendous knowledge and a great sense of humor. This keeps his “crew” highly entertained . Thank you Outer Coast Charters for a magical experience . The trip was the best charter I have ever been on in my 71 years of travel through many national parks and areas - none nicer than Sitka . It was magic - my daughter and her children will tell the story of a whale of a trip in Sitka Alaska May 2025. A curious crew met a curious whale . A truly special day - thank you Chris Paul Jones . You will always be connected with our family and our friend Frank.
