This 6-hour eco-tour combines fishing and touring in protected waters, and finishes with a shore meal of the day’s catch at a remote cabin. Great for all ages. I also offer a 5-hour "Photo Safari" of Kachemak Bay. « less

Went out on 8/26 with Capt. Jim Lavrakas for the Feast from the Sea tour. It was my wife and I, along with her parents (who are in their late 60's, early 70's). We initially had thought about a full-day halibut trip, but decided that a more "local" trip might be a better idea. After our day on the water... More

We had a group of 11 -- two preteens, two older teenagers, and the rest 50 something friends. Jim's boat can only accommodate 6 passengers, so we booked two days of the "Feast from the Sea" tour -- half of us went on the boat each day, the other half checked out the shops around Homer and went beachcombing. (My... More

Wonderful combination tour. Fishing, sightseeing, incredible wildlife viewing and a great meal. Jim is a terrific captain. He knows where to find the fish and wildlife. He is also a professional photographer and he shared some valuable tips that greatly improved our photography. He also shares his intimate knowledge of the gorgeous Kachemak Bay while touring in his new, unique,... More

We went on the Feast From The Sea tour while we were in Homer, AK this May. I loved the variety of the experiences we had in one day! We did some fishing, some eating, and took lots of pictures while always being surrounded by amazing scenery. Personally, I love to fish, but I do not eat fish. The meal... More

We hired Jim to spend the day roaming around Kachemak Bay, seeing the scenery and the wildlife and getting some coaching on photography. We had a great time, and took a ton of pictures. The highlight was getting shots of a bald eagle swooping down to grab a fish. Also, getting a few puffins out by Gull Island. More

The is not a traditional fishing trip. This trip can be enjoyed by the whole family as well as couples. You will get to fish, see wildlife, go ashore, and then enjoy your catch as well as take home the excess fish. Even if you don't want to fish, others in your party can and you ALL will enjoy the...

A great time was had by all and the weather in little Tutka Bay was perfect. The highlight of dining on our "feast from the sea" prepared by Aspen was most enjoyable. Thanks, Captain Jim, for showing us a good time. More
