“We have the privilege of introducing the new operators of Alaska Quest Charters. Captain Eric Morrow, Admiral Sarah Moranville and Senior mate Nathan, along with and support pup “Lovey” will be taking over in 2025! It couldn't be a better fit. We feel strongly we could not continue on unless we thought they could do it as well or better than we did. Tom and I fully endorsed these new operators and hope that you'll consider returning to the Alaska Quest or tell your friends the Alaska Quest continues on!”

“ Thank you Tom and Tish for the most amazing week! We will always remember all the new firsts for our family, but from well experienced travelers, we have never experienced such graciousness, attention to detail, and always, always, always, going the extra mile for us! Never will we experience this wonderful service again until we return to the Alaska Quest!”

“This was the most exhilarating trip imaginable! Fun, humorous, inspiring, majestic, and educational! Really enjoyed Tom’s master seamanship along with knowing just where to go for the best wildlife viewing. Many Alaskan stories from both Tish and Tom added to the festivities. Tish‘s phenomenal meals and snacks certainly made every day a big treat! Just a wonderful trip in every way!”

"Imagine being up close to whales, bears, jumping salmon, seals, birds and the incredible great outdoors of Alaska. In this 66’ -expedition yacht, you are right at the action. Crabbing, shrimping, kayaking, riding the skiff to waterfalls and hidden coves, hot springs soaking, fishing, hiking, iceberg filled waters and glaciers calving. On our weeklong trip we pulled in numerous crabs, huge spot prawns, lots of salmon and rock fish. Gourmet cook Tish and Experienced Captain Tom are not only lots of fun but make every day magical. The food is incredible and they clean and prepare everything you catch. The ship is very comfortable with 2 queen staterooms, a bunk room, 3 baths, salon and pilot house with dining settee – both with panoramic windows. Sitting outdoors on the top deck around the glass fire pit, eating the endless quantities of Dungeness crab you caught with a sunset and moonrise, priceless! We recommend the 8 day trip from Juneau! We’ve been twice! You must hurry as 2016 may be the last summer for this cruise."

“The bears on this trip were quite special – the sow and two cubs especially. The kayak paddles at Ell Cove, Hodden Falls and Pleasant Bay we’re all super special. The food on the boat was amazing! Tish is incredible and her culinary skills are off the charts! The way Tish and Tom work together to run the ship is truly special. They are truly a power couple… There is love, respect, and true appreciation of the other and what they have is very special as a couple and as a team to host the best charter in Alaska! This is our third expedition and we are looking forward to our fourth next year! Tom and Tish are great hosts, and it’s wonderful that Tom put safety as the highest priority. Tom is a wonderful captain, a terrific navigator, A fine fisherman and a fine human being. It is a pleasure and a privilege to be a guest on their ship/home and their hospitality is appreciated and so very much enjoyed. Thank you!”

“We were fortunate enough to be back on the Alaska quest for a second time and it was even better than the first trip! We were so excited to see over two dozen bears they were everywhere! We are extremely grateful to Capt. and Tom for getting us up close and personal with all the Bears and all the Dahl porpoises. Having them swim with the boat twice was amazing. The rockfish derby was so fun! The captain always knows the best fishing spots. And of course we have to give a huge shout out to Tish is amazing cooking! We ate like kings all week we would both like to give Tish and Tom a huge thank you for making this trip an absolutely wonderful experience for us from start to finish. We could not have asked for a better week! Thank you thank you thank you!”
