    Captain Rick was recommended on Royal Caribbean Facebook groups, and we decided to support local instead of go through the cruise line. BEST DECISION EVER. What a personalized and special experience. He grew up in Sitka, has an amazing wave crushing boat with a heated/ protected interior, knows ALL the spots to show you whales, bear, sea otters and sea lions, and really cares about making your experience a 10/10. Highly recommend. Just wow. If we see nothing else in our next 4 days in Alaska, we will feel like we have already seen it all.
