The Friendliest Catch: A Hands-On Alaska Crab Adventure

Experience Alaska's crabbing industry firsthand! On this immersive adventure, you'll step into the role of a crabber as you bait, set, and retrieve your own crab pots.
Come experience Alaska's historic crabbing industry firsthand and get ready to experience Southeast Alaska the way local crabbers do. This immersive, hands-on adventure puts you at the center of the action as you bait, set, and retrieve your own labeled crab pots in the waters surrounding Juneau, Alaska.

After a short safety briefing, each guest will personalize their buoy and help prepare their crab pot. Guests will throw their pots and watch as they disappear beneath the surface to begin soaking on the seafloor. This can be a truly hands-on experience. Alaska Fish and Game regulations require guests to set, deploy, and retrieve their own gear, while our captain provides instruction, guidance, and support throughout the adventure. Get the true Alaskan crabbing experience!

While the pots are soaking, enjoy a scenic cruise through Alaska's spectacular coastal waters. Keep an eye out for waterfalls, bald eagles, seals, and other wildlife, while taking in breathtaking views of lush mountains and remote shorelines.

The anticipation builds as it's finally time to see what's inside your pot. One by one, guests will step to the rail and use the pot puller or a handline to retrieve their own crab pot from the seafloor.You never know what you'll bring up—Dungeness crab, curious sea creatures like starfish or sea urchin, or perhaps an empty pot reminding us that nature always has the final say.

This tour can be as hands-on or as laid-back as you'd like. For those seeking adventure, it's an authentic, interactive experience where you'll have the opportunity to get your hands dirty, learn something new, and participate in the action. Prefer to relax? Sit back, enjoy the ride inside our heated cabin with an onboard restroom, take in breathtaking views, and watch for wildlife as the adventure unfolds around you. Whether you're here for the excitement or the scenery, this tour offers the flexibility to experience Alaska your way.

Join us for an unforgettable crabbing experience that combines adventure, wildlife, stunning scenery, and the thrill of pulling your own crab pot from Alaska's waters.
