This was a great experience. Beautiful scenery and we saw whales, eagles and sea otters. The owner Rick was very friendly and super informative. And he was great with my 94 year old father in-law. I highly recommend.

Great trip! Rick was very knowledgeable. He knew right where everything should be and it was there everytime. We saw a humpback whale, grey whales, sea lions, sea otters, a bald eagles nest and much more. The kids loved it. Boat is in great shape and had ample space for our group of 6 inside and outside. He also included a good selection of complimentary snacks and drinks which was much appreciated as a family with 2 younger children.

My family and I had such a wonderful experience with Captain Rick in Sitka!
We learned so much from our tour, and he even explained to us about the fishing boats and how they catch fish from his experience working in the industry. We saw so many whales and had some close encounters which was absolutely amazing.
He took us around to see as many wildlife as possible to make our trip worthwhile and the boat was spacious and comfortable for the 5 of us.

I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sitka. support small local businesses!

We had an amazing trip with Rick today. Despite rough water, rain and wind, Captain Rick delivered a world-class experience. We saw eagles, sea lions, otters, humpback whales, gray whales and salmon.

Rick was very personable, great with kids and told us all about life in Sitka and the fishing industry. He took us by some fishing boats and explained to us how they operate even using a book with pictures to show the whole process we were seeing live.

His boat is extremely comfortable. It’s new, had plenty of space for the 6 guests, the heater kept us warm, plenty of snacks and water available and an even a head (bathroom) available.

I can’t recommend Captain Rick and Coastal Tours Sitka enough!

Booking with Captain Rick was the best decision we made. His boat was great! Heated if you got to cold, bathroom and snacks also. He made sure we got the best experience possible the day we went. Spotted eagles, sea lions and lots of grey whales. His love of the area is very apparent and he shared lots of insight of Sitka and the area. Would definitely book with him again. Do yourself a favor and book a trip with him during your stay!!!

We were on a week long Alaskan cruise in June, and can honestly say this was probably our favorite highlight of the trip! Captain Rick was so incredible. The kindest human being and an incredible wealth of knowledge! We feel so incredibly lucky to have found this tour and had this experience. Not only was Rick awesome, but his daughter Stevie was the best! What a little entrepreneur and also incredibly intelligent! Pretty much any question we asked of her/Rick, she was able to give us a very informational answer everytime. We also had the opportunity to see some Orcas in June, which was pretty out of the ordinary and we have Rick to thank for that! We will definitely be back and Recommend Rick to everyone we know going to Sitka!

Tour was amazing! Saw plenty of wildlife and whales. Rick was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Boat is immaculate. Best experience during our time in Alaska and well worth the cost, would repeat.

Captain Rick and boat was a great way to see Sitka Sound. Rick was informative and did outstanding job finding us grey and humpbacks whales to view. We also saw otters, seals, seabirds and eagles. There is plenty of space for six passengers.
