All in it was close to $400 and while difficult to rate "value for money" on a flavor cruise I'm very glad that I did it. The bus takes a couple of hours to get you to Whittier with a couple of scenic spots stops along the way. The welcome on board the cruise vessel was warm and friendly with lots of interesting facts announced over the course of the day. The chowder that was served was passable so pack some additional food or you're stuck with a limited offering at the snack bar. The highlight was Harvard Glacier where we we spent about 30 minutes and we were lucky enough to see some spectacular "caving" - when the ice breaks off the front of the glacier and falls into the water. And then a Gin & Soda over glacier ice that the crew had fished out of the water.

Just something I never imagined experiencing. The crew were awesome and friendly and you can't beat free snacks, tea, and hot chocolate on the boat. Definitely an adventure you should incorporate in any trip to Alaska.

I just returned from a 3-day trip out of Seward aboard the Sound Crazy with Captain Butters, and it…read morewas an incredible experience. We were very fortunate with calm seas and great weather, but we still had to work hard to catch high-quality fish--which made the success that much more rewarding. I've lived in Alaska for over 10 years and have been on several fishing charters, but I've never been on one where both the captain and deckhands worked so relentlessly to give their guests the best possible chance at catching fish. On many charters, you'll hear, "This is fishing, and sometimes they just don't cooperate." That's absolutely true, and I understand that patience is part of targeting larger halibut. What set this trip apart was the dedication of Captain Butters and his crew. Seeing the captain himself up at midnight chumming and soaking lines to improve our odds was something I've never experienced. He wasn't satisfied with us catching a couple of small "chickens"--he wanted to help create memories. Thanks to that extra effort, the last two halibut we landed became fish that my family members, who traveled all the way to Alaska for this trip, will never forget. The team at Crazy Rays is first-class, and their commitment to their guests is obvious. They genuinely care about providing the best experience possible, and it shows in everything they do. Going forward, this is the charter company I'll recommend to friends and family and the one I'll choose whenever I book another trip. Thank you, Captain Butters and the entire Crazy Rays crew, for an unforgettable adventure and memories that will last a lifetime.

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!

Unexpectedly, we ended up being the only guests as others had backed out. We started out of Seward with a nice trip from Anchorage with Joan and Jeff as our shuttle team. They were both very personable and a pleasure to make the trip with to Seward. We were greeted with champagne and quickly got underway. Our accommodations were exactly as described in the Master suite. After two days of being wined and dined, we finally had to say, the "food is amazing, but we don't eat this much in a day. We need to slow down on the amount" LOL Certainly all you could possibly eat and nicely prepared. En En set beautiful tables for every meal and and our wine glasses were never dry. The weather was not the best for the first few days, so with everyone's agreement, we decided to roll the dice and cross the Gulf of Alaska to head towards Whittier. At that point, the weather became amazing, we did kayaking and had a 13,000 year old cocktail (Bourbon on Glacier ice). Who knew we would go to Alaska to get a tan? We spent the entire time cruising out on the deck getting sun. Captain Al and his team were wonderful hosts. I guess I could address every complaint that has been posted, but I'm not going to give it much credibility by spending any time on it. Yes, the boat is not brand new, but we had no issues on board (except the battery, but that's a little joke between Captain Al and us.). I can't speak to any of the other accommodations because we did not see or use them, but there were absolutely no complaints with ours. We are already considering the possibility of taking friends and going again some time. Thanks for everything Captain Al, En En and Christian! It was the trip of a lifetime! Thanks for being a part of it! Lori and Bob
