An Experience to Remember
A place you'd otherwise never be able to know about!
Kenzie and Ian are so easy and awesome to hang out with and show you a side of Alaska only the adventurous locals know to go! It is an intimate experience and something so unique. You'll feel like you are just going on an adventure with some friends, instead of feeling like a typical tourist. I recommend this experience!!

Awesome Experience!
Alpenglow Charters are an the best choice for a relaxing tour of the Seward waters. Ian and Kenzie offer a first class tour with years of Alaska guiding knowledge that adds a personal touch to the experience. Captain & Chef Kenzie commanded the vessel and kitchen like a pro! Food was spot on! We hope to travel again soon with Alpenglow Charters!!

The Best Hosts
This was absolutely one of the greatest times we had on our travels in Alaska. And that's saying a lot. They go all out to make sure you enjoy your time to the fullest. They are without question the best hosts we ever had anywhere ever.

Great Charter Experience!
Alpenglow Charters was a great boat trip for our group of four. Kenzie and Ian were awesome guides having incredible knowledge of Seward and Resurrection Bay. I could have spent several days on this trip as there was so much to do and see and these guys are great to spend time with. I would highly recommend a trip with Alpenglow Charters, and I hope to get back to Seward and do this again.

One fantastic overnight in Alaska
3 friends and I spent two days and a night on the Gambler, with Kenzie and Ian, this spring, and I can't say enough good things about them and their boat. They picked us up at our surf spot in the afternoon, and we were immediately treated to one of the best experiences I've ever had on a boat. Looking forward to another trip with these two, hopefully not too long in the future!

Down to Earth
MacKenzie was a great host! She not only knows how to navigate and drive a boat with ease she is a magnificent cook! Kenzie and her crew are warm, welcoming, friendly, informative and down to earth. A perfect little getaway for those wanting to be on the water and not necessarily go fishing. This was a perfect outing for us! Thanks abundantly!
