From start to finish, all of us were either laughing or learning from "Capt Black" the skipper. He truly is a "ONE MAN REALITY SHOW" and flat knows where to find the wildlife. The Capt. refers to his boat as a "Yacht" and although it is not monstrous, there's loads of room with only six passengers and spotless. Our family... More

Ignore the cheesy “Black Bart” name. Captain Mitch is a true Alaskan character with a fast boat and a narrative to match. We sure got our money’s worth… fur seals, sea lions, sea otters and humpback whales. A fast boat is a must on a 2 hour tour. We traveled a long way to get to the whales. Our day... More

We were recently in Sitka Alaska, June 2010 and were approached by a charming young lady that touted "Best Wildlife Tour in Sitka". My Husband and I accepted her invitation and I can tell you we were very pleased with that decision to go with Capt. Black Bart's Charters.

This was the BEST experience to see the REAL Alaskan wildlife in Sitka. The Capt. sure knows his stuff, very informative, knowledgeble, and funny too! Seeing whales, bald eagles, otters in their natural environment-very special! A must when traveling in this area. More

Captain Bart runs a small outfit with a maximum of 6 guests on his boat which allowed him to give us a personal narration about the humpback whales, sea otters, sea lions, porpoise, harbor seals, bald eagles, seabirds and other wildlife we would see on our tour and enabled him to answer questions in great detail. This private experience made... More
