    We recently completed a whale watching tour with Captain Alan and his wife on the Narwhal. We were a party of six and had an amazing time on the water experiencing humpback whales in the wild. The boat was clean, comfortable and perfectly designed for the tour. Captain Alan and his wife were gracious hosts and made us feel right at home.

    We had the best afternoon whale watching with Rum Runner Charters! Captain Adrianne and Deckhand Luke "Lukey" worked hard to bring us to as many whales as possible. We saw numerous humpbacks, including a very rare double breach! At least 5 orcas, a couple of seals, an otter or two, and a group of sea lions napping on a bouy.
    Adrianne and Luke were both very personable and we loved chatting with them. They were conscious of our cruise ship's all-aboard time, and maximized our time on the water while getting us back with a safe cushion.
    We were aboard the Rum Runner which was clean and comfortable.
    We booked the trip directly on Rum Runner's website. The owner, Captain Chris Conder, was very responsive and patient when I made a mistake on the date, and when my deposit check was lost in the mail for weeks. (Credit cards are accepted as well.) He was also flexible in our pick up location so we could squeeze in an earlier excursion that day.
    Thank you Chris, Adrianne and Lukey!

    My family and I enjoyed a wonderful trip today with Adam and his staff. Adam offered superb service to us all. I had a range of children from 5 to 11 and my spouse as well as out of state family visiting. I’ll spare some detail and simply say, Adam went above and beyond to make sure that everyone had an unforgettable experience today. He has earned my sincerest gratitude, as well as my recommendation to any who are making decisions regarding who to charter with while in Juneau!

    We had a terrific time touring Juneau and its surrounding environs with our driver/guide, Katie. She was friendly and enthusiastic with a keen sense of humor. Our tour was informative throughout, with our favorite part visiting a local salmon factory for an up-close perspective on this essential industry. Thanks to Katie for a wonderful excursion!

    Had an amazing time with ChumFun! Family owned/run and perfect for those who have a few hours to do some fishing without having to jump on a boat/float plane and burn a day/ton's of cash! Located maybe 5 minutes from downtown Juneau and they come and pick you up right at the docs or even possibly hotel as they did for us! Your fishing within 10 minutes and they supply everything from rod/reel/tackle and even rain gear. They worked with our children to get them up to speed and had them casting like pro's in no time. We hit a couple spots and caught Salmon/bottom fish at both places. A hatchery tour comes with the experience and is very impressive/informative---super cool! Afterwards they cleaned/prepped the fish (eagles took care of the scraps as they're all over the property!) and sent it to a packing house to be shipped home to us when we get back. Can't recommend them enough, Paul and Michelle are the best!

    The best experience we have had on a fishing charter! They went above and beyond to make a memorable experience for us! Will definitely be rebooking with them in the future!

    Chris was our guide and he was just great. The hike to the falls was well traveled and safe. My husband is a wildlife photographer and got to “shoot” a lone bear, then a female with her cub. They all had a great time fishing and eating salmon. I would highly recommend this tour.

    Art picked me up on short notice and we were fishing in less than 30 minutes. Art explained the best technique for catching big kings, and we caught one king, a dolly and had numerous chases. Going after "Elvis" was top notch! Thanks Art!!!

    We were there last week on a very rainy day. Captain Terry and Naturalist Tory were both great. Safety for passengers and the whales was first and foremost. A very fun excursion. Make sure you have rain gear!

    The trip of a life time!
    If you like cruising with 3000 people, shore excursions you pay for, overnights in tourist towns slammed with other cruisers, "Northern Dream" is not for you.

    If you like small villages (50-60 resident), bear watching from a kayak, hot springs you hike to, catching your own supper(crab and halibut), solitude when anchoring in deserted coves, then this might be for you! We thoroughly enjoyed our week with Cap'n Jim and first mate Austin!!

    Such a beautiful boat and a wonderful crew!
    Many photo opportunities - gray whales, orcas, sea lions, icebergs, waterfalls, bears, eagles, hot springs, fishing, hikes, and more.
    The salmon and halibut we caught were served by the chef. Same with shrimp and crab. The food was amazing.
    The classic yacht is beautiful, warm and comfortable and easy to see the views through all the windows.
    Don't waste time on the big cruise ships, this is the way to travel in style!

    My wife and I fished for 12 hours and had a marvellous Alaska Fishing Experience!

    Halibut, salmon and cod will grace our table for months to come.

    A very comfortable and fun trip start to finish. Owner operated and guided. Knowledgable, professional and caring.

    We would strongly recommend. The highlight of our Juneau adventure!

    A great trip for those who are even just a little bit familiar with this kind of fishing and are willing to go unguided. The trip is all inclusive (minus air fare and over night lodging in Juneau if that's necessary.) Everyone catches fish. The fish filleting and package is part of the deal.

    Fishing is with good equipment. There are coaching session each evening and current fishing reports. The boats are stable and safe.

    Food is great accommodations good.

    What an amazing adventure. Thank you Alix for helping plan a surprise for my partner. Our pilot took a through to a breathtaking spot, were we drank fresh glacier water, threw rocks into a cavern and experienced the beauty of Herbert Glacier.

    We booked this fishing expedition from Princess Cruiseline.

    BOTTOM LINE: Fishing was slow and disappointing. Wish we had been told that in advance. Our excursion was one of Princess's "Catch & Cook" one which met we could bring back our catch to the ship and they would cook & prepare our fish how we like it. WOW! What a spread they did for our 4 rock fish!! (See photo).

    The boat was older and would have been very tight for 6 fishermen so luckily we had only 3 sign up. Our captain Boz chartering the "KHAOS" boat said that the salmon had been very poor this season and that we would be better trying to try fishing for rock fish instead, so we did.

    I was able to catch 4 black rock fish during our 4 hr adventure. Our deck had Gavin was a sharp your man at only 15 years old. Great to see a hard worker at this age.
    Over all our trip was ok because of the slowness catching fish, but that's fishing sometimes.
