I took my family out with CPT Jody just 3 weeks ago. Absolutely awesome. He drove right up to the…read morespot and we hooked Halibut right away. Limited out in rock fish and also caught pink, silver and king salmon. Listen to the Captain, he'll tell you exactly what you need to do to catch fish. You have to leave Anchorage very early to make the 6:30 tunnel. If you are worried consider staying at the Whittier hotel the night before (and get 2 more hours of sleep!) I could go on and on but you can tell this outfit has been around for 20 years. Book it! you won't regret it.

This place is is my go-to spot for gear rental in Alaska…read more I've rented rafts from ARK twice before, and just got off the phone to arrange my gear rental for a 100 mile trip down the Chilikadrotna River this coming June. These guys provide the greatest service because: --The gear they provide is always in excellent condition, you don't have to worry about being stranding with sub-standard equipment in the middle of no where. --They are expert outdoorspeople and can give you advice as you gear up. --They know the procedure of getting out into the bush--I want my rafts delivered to a local airfield for shipment outside Anchorage, and that is absolutely no problem, they know exactly what I am talking about. --They keep records and knew who I was when I phoned (nice!). --Had an email confirmation of my order to me within a half-hour. I recommend these guys without any reservations for your Alaskan gear needs for all your adventure trips.

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

I'm traveling through Alaska. I stopped here to ask about batteries a few days ago and Tim sat down…read moreand called around- he was so great I asked if he do a repair. Even though his bays were packed he squeezed me in to schedule when there was a dry day and they could do the work outside.

Wow! What an amazing experience. My wife and I booked the transfer tour from Anchorage to Whittier…read more Our tour guide, Michelle, was incredible. She was a wealth of knowledge and such a fun person to spend the day with. Everywhere we went, she seemed to know everything. She interspersed personal anecdotes allowing us to get to know her better and to understand more about the area. Everything was included in the price of the tour. Lunch (of your choice - not just preset options), a beer at the brewery, and admission to the nature center were all taken care of. There were also snacks and water available in the van. We got lucky with a small group (4 people including us!), but the van only holds 13 people - much better than the giant coach busses! I cannot recommend Salmon Berry, and Michelle in particular, highly enough

Also went to the wildlife conservation center and saw the moose, bears, musk oxen, elk, etc. the tour included lunch at our choice of two food trucks. I got the pork belly rice bowl at the Girdwood izakaya. A bit heavy on the salt, but overall an enjoyable meal. Love the blueberry kombucha at the brewery! V, our guide, was informative and helped take pictures of my family! They pick up and drop off at your hotel. Not too sure about the water bottles though. After you are done drinking the tap water, you have to return the bottles for them to recycle. Although they use a dishwasher, it seems a bit strange for me to share bottles with other people.

I lost business, was terrified with them tearing my motor apart (after specifically telling them not to). They were behind schedule and always have an excuse why they are not done with the work even after making an appointment weeks in advance. I have been banned from the service department and from buying parts from them, in writing. Truthfully, I had/have zero intentions of ever doing business with them again. Pretty bad after spending $80,000.00 on a boat with them and buying 75% of my maintenance parts from them. My next boat will be a Raider and it will not have a Yamaha on it.
