As a fishing boat, the boat is downright luxurious. It fit 4 full grown men and a crew of 2 just fine without feeling cramped. There was plenty of space to sleep for up to 6 people. Captain John has lots of stories and knows all the places where the fish hang out. His first mate, Harrison also had lots of stories and was very chill. I would definitely go back again next year!

Our group of 7 had such a great day with John that it's hard to put into words. The boat is bigger and nicer than we expected, the crew was fantastic, and every minute on board was a first class experience. We're already planning our next trip and brainstorming all of the occasions we would like to go out with John again. Whether it's for sight-seeing, fishing, hunting, kayaking or maybe just to carry us and our inflatable boat to somewhere we couldn't get to on our own - we will think of Tundra Adventure Charters first. Thanks for an awesome day!

The actual cruise was amazing, entirely staffed by knowledgeable women, and was everything I could have hoped for. In addition to the glaciers we saw humpback whales, otters, seals, bald eagles, and a swimming black bear. I had the veggie chili which was closer to a bean soup than a chili but it was very tasty. The boat was extremely clean and well maintained and the captain was super informative. I will be recommending this to everyone I know who is visiting Alaska.

I completed the26-glacier cruise aboard the M/V Bravest on Summer Solstice 2026…read more The first thing that I noticed was that there was no Internet access and cell service was spotty at best. However, that had nothing to do with the cruise. It is just something that visitors to Whittier should be aware. Checking in and boarding went smoothly and on schedule. The crew were courteous and professional. The seas around Whittier are very calm, similar to the Inland Passage in Alaska's panhandle, due to the outer break-water islands. Adding a catamaran makes it as stable as it gets on water. There was zero pitching or rolling motion moving at 30 knots. When coming to a stop there were a few seconds when the vessel pitched and/or rolled in its own wake. Nobody got seasick on my cruise. The meal of salmon chowder was not bad. Nothing really to write home about. The meal is served shortly after leaving the dock. There are also other hot items that can be purchased, like a Buffalo Hotdog, or a Cheeseburger. I would not place any of their meals higher than fast-food quality. The bar also opens after leaving the dock. There are were several beverage choices, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. There was one humpback whale feeding near the shore of Esther Island. The vessel stopped for several minutes to watch the whale using bubble-net feeding techniques. The whale only made an appearance on the surface twice. There were no sea lions, but there were a handful of sea otters in the Port Wells passage and in College Fjord. The vessel also stopped for a few minutes at the Kittiwake Rookery which is directly across the bay from Whittier. I have absolutely no complaints about the crew or the vessel. They all performed exactly as expected and were very professional. I am also not going to dispute that there were 26 or more glaciers visible while on the cruise. Alaska has more than 100,000 glaciers. If you stand anywhere in Alaska you are likely to see a glacier somewhere. My only complaint is with their chosen route. I had previously taken the exact same cruise in 1996 when they were based in Seward instead of Whittier. In 1996 there were a dozen or more different tide-water glaciers, with no less than six or or seven actively calving. We stopped at four of them and spent several minutes watching them calve. This time, however, there were only four (barely) tide-water glaciers with only two actively calving and only stopping at one - the Harvard glacier. The wildlife can be unpredictable, but glaciers are not. We know exactly where they can be found. They need to include no less than three tide-water glaciers that are actively calving and stopping at least at two of them. Or the tour isn't worth the price. People are paying to see glaciers calve up-close and personal. Wildlife viewing is always an option, but it should not become the primary purpose of the cruise. We stopped longer and more often for wildlife (three times) than we did for any active tide-water glacier. I took this cruise primarily because I had never seen that portion of Prince William Sound in the 35 years I have lived in Alaska. So I was not that interested in the wildlife or the glaciers. However, I could sense the disappointment of the other passengers on our non-stop return to the Whittier docks.
