Charter an intimate vessel exclusively for your group to cruise deep into the Behm Canal and Misty Fjords National Monument — a UNESCO-calibre wilderness of waterfalls, sea stacks, and bald eagles accessible only by water. Unhurried, unscripted, and gloriously private.
What to expect
Step aboard a well-appointed vessel and leave the busy waterfront behind as you enter the serene 108-mile Behm Canal corridor. Your naturalist captain identifies humpback whales, Dall's porpoise, sea otters, and Steller sea lions as you pass. New Eddystone Rock — a basalt volcanic plug rising 237 ft from the water — is an unmissable highlight. Hot beverages and light provisions keep you comfortable as mist weaves through Douglas fir and Sitka spruce above the waterline. Return at a pace entirely your own.
Good to know
Contact Allen Marine directly for charter availability and pricing; vessels depart from Ketchikan's Bar Harbor or Thomas Basin. Book at least 60 days in advance for peak-season dates. Half-day and full-day options available — half-day fits comfortably within a port call.
