The Adventure of a Lifetime Begins with a Special Story:
Join an intimate cruise adventure that has been refined over the course of 40 years. In 1979, Michael McIntosh, descendant of the Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company, founded The Boat Company as a nonprofit cruise line and first set sail on the M/V Liseron with a group of neighbors to explore Alaska’s special “Inside Passage.”
At a younger age, Michael had been working on fishing boats in the area for his family’s grocery store chain, and when he set eyes on the stunning and relatively untouched Tongass National Forest (at 17 million acres of waterways and land, it is our country’s largest), he knew this area had to be protected.
After decades of protecting the area while offering world-class, eco-luxury expeditions, Michael’s son Hunter McIntosh (President) and his wife Amber (Vice President) continue the organization’s eco-luxury legacy and invite you to cruise aboard the 10-cabin M/V Liseron, or the 12-cabin M/V Mist Cove, embarking on an intimate adventure amongst this pristine landscape and wildlife in Southeast Alaska.
The Activities and Experience:
Each morning, our Guest Coordinator is available to craft your adventure for the day ahead. While some may choose to hike on a nearby forested island, others may choose to wade through crystal waters fly-fishing, venture out on one of our skiffs for salt-fishing, stay onboard and sunbathe, lookout for wildlife, read or more.
Usually, in the mornings, our early risers like to sojourn independently or with a friend via kayak through quiet coves, exploring the area the ship rested in the night prior.
Our onboard naturalist offers walks through the woods where guests can learn about this unique ecosystem as a whole, pick berries and mushrooms, observe flowers and moss, and more.
Return “home” to the ship each day with Alaskan-sun-kissed skin and a rejuvenated sense of respite. You may then enjoy hors d'oeuvres at an optional cocktail hour in our club-like salon, before settling down to the panoramic-window-lined dining area on the aft-deck to imbibe the golden glow of sunset with gourmet meals prepared by our amazing chefs.
Wildlife:
While we cannot guarantee wildlife sightings, we often see brown bears and black bears fishing the near waterways or taking strolls on the edges of the bays.
We also are graced with the pods of orcas, humpbacks and other whales. Guests are sometimes splashed by Dall’s porpoise “hitching a ride” on the boost of our ship’s current, and more.
The Tongass National Forest happens to be home to the densest population of Bald Eagle in the world, so keep an eye out for how many you can spot while aboard with us!
Glacier Day:
Excitement is palpable as we approach the glacial area of each trip. Guests are offered a ride on one of our multiple skiff boats to get closer and maneuver around the gorgeous formations of icebergs in the area. Calving can also be seen at times at the base of the main glacier.
Of course, our chefs send each skiff boat with a batch of warm cookies, hot chocolate, and, if desired, a splash of a spirit to keep you extra warm!
Cruise Itinerary:
SATURDAY – Arrive Juneau
Although Juneau is the Alaska’s capitol, it still feels like a small town. Arrive on one of several flights per day and check in to the Ramada Juneau. Enjoy exploring the shops (including the unique post office Kindred Post), try ‘flightseeing’ over a glacier, ride with a sled-dog team and then for dinner try a local seafood delicacy in one of the many nearby restaurants. Your hotel is included in your booking.
SUNDAY – Board ship, Cruise to Endicott Arm
At 2:00 pm, you are met by our crew members in the hotel lobby and escorted to the ship for a safety orientation and departure.
The ship heads to the first night's anchorage in Endicott Arm—gateway to glaciers. Keep your eyes peeled for bears at Twin meadows.
Here we’ll settle down to an exquisite gourmet dinner and, as evening falls, gather with friends in the ship’s comfortable salon or stroll the decks breathing in the beauty and serenity of Southeast Alaska.
MONDAY – Glacier Day
“Glacier Day” as crew members call it, we are bound for either Tracy Arm or Endicott Arm—two spectacular fiords carved deep into the Coast Range by rivers of ice.
We head toward the face of a glacier by skiff where you can watch (at a safe distance) great chucks of ice, some the size of our ship, crash into the ocean in a frenzy of foam and spray. The ship’s Chef outfits each skiff with hot cocoa and homemade cookies. Harbor seals find their own tasty treats in the nutrient-rich water of these inlets and, for a period of time in early summer, we can observe female seals hauling-out onto icebergs in order to give birth to their young.
Late in the day we leave the fiords behind and anchor in Sanborne canal.
TUESDAY – Admiralty & Brothers Islands
Today is our first opportunity for hiking and fishing. At Port Houghton, we can stream fish and go for a meadow walk.
After lunch, we head over to Brothers Islands. Lying just off the mouth of Pybus Bay, this area is notable for its unique, mossy terrain. A gentle walk through the lush rainforest on one of these small islands leads to a wild stretch of rocky beach. Great numbers of Steller sea lions will sometimes haul out onto some of these beaches, and if we’re careful we can approach these noisy “rookeries” by skiff without disturbing the lounging animals.
Halibut fishing in Pybus Bay is often productive, as is fly-fishing or spin casting for Pink Salmon or Dolly Varden char in Donkey Creek at the head of the bay. Crew members can custom process your catch and advise you on the best way to ship your fish home. Alternatively, the ship’s Chef is happy to prepare your catch for dinner and share recipes.
Bald eagles perch solemnly in the tree tops waiting for an opportunity to snatch an unwary fish from the water. Bears are common here, and our guides on shore will carry a tackle box under one arm and pepper spray, just in case, under the other.
Pybus Bay on Admiralty Island is where we'll spend the night. The local native Tlingit people call the island Kootznoowoo, which means "fortress of the bears."
There are choices of activities every day, and the ship’s ratio of crew to guests allows small groups to head off in different directions according to interest, with knowledgeable guides leading each group.
WEDNESDAY – Red Bluff Bay, Baranof Island & Kelp Bay
Early risers might go kayaking before breakfast, where they’re likely to have close encounters with harbor seals and dapper harlequin ducks. Neither species have much fear of stealthy paddlers in this secluded bay. Photographers, in particular, love these early morning outings.
We head to Red Bluff Bay during breakfast.
Once we get there, we'll divide into several groups to go ashore. Some may choose to fly fish in the river at the head of the bay. But the highlight of this place is the short, steep hike up onto the brick red bluffs which give this place its name. Here, wildflowers are dense in summer and natural rock gardens are resplendent with splashy displays of blue and yellow violets, columbine, and fragrant meadow orchids.
Then our ship gets under way to cruise along the "waterfall coast" of Baranof Island—one of the most scenic coastal wilderness areas in Southeast Alaska—on our way to Kelp Bay for the night.
THURSDAY – Kelp Bay, Hanus Bay & Paradise Flats
This morning you may choose to get up early to join a few other early risers in a quiet kayak paddle around the anchorage. Or perhaps head off in a skiff with a crew member to haul the Dungeness crab pots we set the night before.
Today, we head to Hanus Bay, where we’ll take the short hike up the trail to Lake Eva where we will find a grove of Sitka Spruce trees that are among the tallest and largest girthed in the Tongass National Forest. There may even be an opportunity here to do a little more fly fishing near the lake’s outlet before everyone re-boards the ship and proceeds on to Saook Bay.
The stream at the head of Saook Bay flows through a broad grassy beach estuary called Paradise Flats. This place is heaven for fly fishers. We spend the afternoon here casting for Dolly Varden char and Cutthroat Trout (or, later in the season, Pink Salmon).
FRIDAY – Salisbury Sound & Stergis Narrows
Today is the final opportunity for hiking and fishing. We depart Saook bay and continue through placid Hoonah Sound to the swirly waters of Sergius Narrows and Peril Strait into a popular saltwater sport fishing area, Salisbury Sound.
A salmon trolling trip aboard a skiff will interest the angling enthusiast. If fishing doesn’t interest you, join in a skiff tour along the rocky shoreline to spot sea otters and other beautiful sights.
Late in the day we head to scenic Sukoi Inlet on Kruzof Island, where guests are treated to a particularly sumptuous cruise wrap-up dinner. This is followed by an "underground tour” of the ship’s engine room and a celebratory "roast & toast" with crew.
SATURDAY – Sitka, disembark ship
We arise early and take breakfast under way, to Sitka, a beautifully quaint, remote fishing community located southwest of Juneau on Baranof Island. By 10:00 AM we are tied to the dock in Sitka where guests disembark. Transport is provided to the hotel or to the airport in time for a flight home, yet Sitka has lovely sights to take in for those who would like another day in a quiet Alaska.
You may also call (360) 697 4242 or email our front office directly to make your reservation.
