Hal Schmitt Glacier Alaska Yacht CruiseImagine observing a developing scenario of huge schools of Pacific herring by the thousands of tons gathering along a spectacular Alaska shoreline waiting for their eggs to ripen and climatic conditions to become just right for them to spawn their eggs.

Pacific herring are the center of attention as this drama unfolds attracting a host of amazing wildlife that creates an incredible show of nature as predator pursues prey along a beautiful isolated Alaska salaskan bald eagle fishinghoreline. The high caloric, oilrich herring are a critical part of the diet for humpback whales, orca, harbor seals, bald eagles plus a myriad of gulls and sea birds that require highly nutritious fish to replenish body reserves severely exhausted through winter survival.alaskan humpback whale fishing

 While the eagles soar and circle overhead, Stellar sea lions and humpback whales cruise near the shoreline before rushing and lunging through the huge schools of herring gathering there…

You can witness all of the action just off the bow and capture images close up of this magnificent annual spring time festival of nature!

Where we stop and go in between is up to the captain and it's crew. We will head up the Inside passage and seek out the beauty and awe of this incredible natural event.

***We suggest that you arrive at least 1 day early and depart 1 day after the trip dates shown. We usually shove off at 12 PM on the posted trip date and we get back to around 4-5PM the last day posted. ***
