Where do I start. I was blown away by the staff and the service for the guests on board. They make sure that you get your moneys worth. I have never seen a bald eagle that close. It was great to hear the stories of the guys on board of their past fishing stories. You stay nice and warm if... More

We were in Ketchikan on a cruise. A friend had highly recommended this excursion. Fantastic experience. Captain Dave and his mates Terry and Travis were entertaining and informative. The highlight of the show was the feeding of the bald eagles. Very hands on...we held crabs and shrimp. Travis put on quite a show holding an octopus. A must do activity... More

Wanted to write a review of this outstanding tour, but the reviews written before me say pretty much what I would say, The tour was fantastic, the tour was excellent on all counts. Seeing the crab fishing up close and personal was fascinating. The feeding of the many bald Eagles was an amazing bonus and that alone would be worth... More

Both the boat and the captain are former Bering Sea crab fishermen....as in "The Deadliest Catch." The captain spent $2.8 million to convert this boat into a floating amphitheater, complete with a "stage" at rail-side on which the crew haul various species of crab....and tell amazing stories of the their adventures (and misadventures) at sea. An added bonus is the... More

This was my last excursion during my Alaskan Cruise and I can truly say that it was the best & most enjoyable thing I did! I couldn't talk my mother into going with me, so I went along all by myself. The Aleutian Ballad crew, especially Captain Derek, were all so welcoming and friendly--they made sure that everyone had a... More

Brings not only the beautiful area and the Bering Sea into the light, but also brings the Discovery Channel show "Deadliest Catch" alive!!!!

As seen on the TV show the Deadliest Catch, you get to ride aboard a converted crab fisherman's boat and learn all about different types of sea life in the Alaskan waters as well as get up close and personal with a few. The crew explained different things that are fished/crabbed for around Alaska and showed how it was done.... More

This tour was actually an accident. My sister & I had been on a few tours already without my mother, so when we got to Ketchikan, she told me I had to go with them to town. I had seen the Aleutian coming in from the AM tour & mentioned how cool it would be to go on that. She... More

We loved this tour. It was fun and informative. My husband watch's deadliest catch religiously so this was a "must do" on his list. It made it even better that Captain Derek(took over on the Cornelia Marie for a season) was working on the tour. All the tour staff was great. Nice photo ops holding different varieties of crabs and... More
