"Our family of four booked a charter on the Alaska Quest so
we could visit a remote location important to our family history.
Never having traveled to Alaska or taken a boat charter, we did
not know what to expect. The charter exceeded our wildest expectations!
From the wildlife sightings to the gorgeous glacier scenery, the
kayaking, the fishing and shrimping, the fresh delicious meals,
and the comfortable accommodations, every aspect of our trip was
truly wonderful. Captain Tom and Tish made our children feel at
home and comfortable, while teaching them all about Alaskan wildlife,
fishing, and history. Our sons went fishing with Captain Tom in
the skiff, and came back loaded with trout, while Tish baked them
chocolate chip cookies.
Our Alaskan charter was only one part of our Alaskan adventure,
however it was HANDS DOWN the most memorable. It was a deeply personal
experience for our family, and we felt so fortunate to have Captain
Tom and Tish guiding us. Our only lament is that we could not stay
aboard longer. We will return to the Alaska Quest!"

"When we were informed that the boat we chartered
for a four-day leg of a very carefully executed, once-in-a-lifetime
vacation to Alaska never made it up for the season, we were devastated.
After lots of back and forth with our outfitter, we settled on what
they promised would be an excellent choice: the Alaska Quest.
I do believe in divine intervention because the minute
we stepped on to that boat, I knew it was a great decision! It was
a beautiful Alaskan-style yacht, tastefully furnished with all of
the comforts we could ever want on our four-day journey. Tish and
Tom, our hosts, welcomed us into their home and wanted nothing more
than to please us. They were warm, friendly, and very entertaining.
Tish prepared fabulous meals that really spoiled us! We fished,
crabbed, and enjoyed the beautiful landscape. The up-close encounters
viewing whales, orcas, and other wildlife were nothing short of
amazing. I can't say enough about this fabulous part of our vacation.
The Alaska Quest adventure by far exceeded our expectations, truly
making this a vacation that we will never forget!"

"Tish and Tom, thank you so much for the whale watching cruise.
It was a real treat and your hospitality won’t be forgotten.
Enjoy the DVD of the whale footage I took for your Web site!"
