Excursions range from captained private sailboat rentals and sunset party boats to scheduled wildlife cruises and eco-tours. Choosing the right operator depends on whether you want a catered, hands-off experience or a BYOB group outing, as well as age restrictions for children. A map location shows where the vessel docks, but it will not tell you if fuel, captain fees, and safety gear are included in the listed rate.

Good to know
What is the difference between a boat tour and a boat charter?
A boat tour sells individual tickets on a scheduled route with a set itinerary and shared passengers. A charter reserves the entire vessel for your private group, often allowing custom routes, flexible departure times, and personalized food or drink options.
Are food and drinks usually provided on board?
Larger sightseeing tours often feature a cash bar or light snacks, while private charters frequently operate on a BYOB basis with ice and coolers provided. Always check local regulations and company rules regarding glass containers and alcohol before boarding.
How much do boat tours and charters typically cost?
Shared passenger tours typically cost between $30 and $90 per person depending on the duration and destination. Private charters generally start around $300 to $600 for a few hours on a smaller craft, while larger yachts or specialized sail charters can run $1,000 or more.
How to shrink wrap a boat?
To shrink wrap a boat, cover support structures with protective padding, lay the shrink film across the hull, heat-shrink it with a heat gun, and add ventilation ports. For large vessels or professional weatherproofing in Alaska, check the 86 marine service providers cataloged on MarinaAtlas.
What is a marine survey?
A marine survey is a detailed inspection of a boat's hull, mechanical systems, and overall condition conducted by a certified surveyor. Across Alaska, MarinaAtlas indexes 86 qualified marine operators and survey specialists to assist buyers and insurance companies.
