My husband and I have sailed with Captain Davey a number of times, both in Summer and Spring. Our most recent outing was in early April 2012 to observe Alaskan wildlife coming alive during the great Spring herring spawn. March/April is a phenomenal time to be in SE Alaska; humpback whales are gorging on abundant shoals of herring, migrating gray... More

I took a trip with Captain Davey and Esther G in 2009. I still think about it. We really wanted to spend time photographing Puffins in the area and Davey did not disappoint. We spent so much time with the puffins and learned so much about the area. We also saw alot of other wildlife. The boat was also well... More

We booked our tour with Captain Davey in advance by e-mail. And when we finally arrived in Sitka, I was pleased to see that the Esther G was such a lovely boat - I felt very safe. We had a very pleasant 3 hour tour, and it was clear to see that Captain Davey has a real passion for Alaska.... More

We booked the tour with Captain Davey after reading the reviews with TripAdvisor. My husband, myself and our 7 year old daughter went out on his boat. It was unbelievable - Captain Davey was very knowledable and spent so much time finding the different species of animals. We had so much fun and saw whales, sea otters, eagles etc. The... More

We could not imagine a better guide than we had in Captain Davey. You can see the genuine enthusiasm and love he has for the beautiful part of the world in which he lives. We felt privileged that we had him be our guide , to show us the scenery and wildlife around Sitka. It was gorgeous. The sea was... More

Planning an Alaska vacation is a big deal, especially when traveling from far-away Philadelphia, PA. We did a lot of research to ensure that we would have no regrets. Ten years earlier I visited Sitka, Alaska and found it to be one of the most beautiful spots on earth. Not only is the scenery breathtaking, but the people are kind... More

It was a windy and rainy day on 20 Sep 09 when we went on the Marine Wildlife Tour with Captain Davey. We were initally concerned the wild weather would make for an uncomfortable outing but we were kept warm and comfortable in Esther G's heated cabin, and Captain Davey's lively commentary. He thoughtfully loaned us binoculars, and shared with... More

What a fabulous tour. Captain Davey is personable, knowledgeable and provides a tour full of fun. We were lucky to see bubble net feeding humpbacks, rafts and rafts of sea otters, and had a totally magificent tour to what he calls "The Centre of the Universe" - St. Lazaria Island. What beautiful birds! This was definitely a highlight of our... More
