We saw many whales, sea lions and eagles on this tour. I had taken whale watching tours on larger boats before, but this smaller boat was much more fun. Captain Chris was entertaining and helpful and MoonDog helped him. The Captain also fed some eagles so we got to see them up close. Great afternoon on the water!

This tour was 5 star from the moment we met Chris and Moon at the port til the time he dropped us off at Mendenhall Glacier. We came across Chris's tour as we were researching Juneau. We are so thankful to have booked with him and his awesome K-9 co-pilot Moon, his yellow lab. Capt. Chris took us out whale... More

From the beginning of searching for excursions for our Alaska Cruise. This was a must on our list of things to do. Captian Chris and his first mate Josh were amazing, not to mention Ms. Moon. Chris from the beginning was a great help with our plans. Everything from the moment we docked was right to plan. We fortunately had... More

I had booked our tour for 6 well in advance and tried to get the 4-hour whale watching tour. Unfortunately he had a prior booking so I took the 2 1/2 hour tour and he told me he'd stretch it but get us back to the cruise ship in time. The man keeps his word. We had great weather, a... More

The day we docked on the cruise ship Capt Chris told me on the phone that unfortunately he couldn't take us out to see the whales b/c of the high wind. He said all the small charter boat companies had to cancel as well b/c of the conditions. He told me he could take us out fishing if we wanted,... More

We contacted Captain Chris when our ship was docking. He told us due to wind, the conditions were less than ideal for whale watching. He gave us several options: Cancel and get a full refund, take us to the glacier, or take us on the boat where we would definitely see eagles and maybe one whale and then prorate our... More

I had gone on a Rum Runner private whale watch tour 5 years ago (which was beyond excellent then as well), and recommended it to my friends as something we "MUST DO" while we were in Juneau for our cruise on May 15th, 2013. Captain Chris, Deck Hand Josh, and Admiral Moon (The Dog) DELIVERED BIG TIME! From promptly meeting... More

We wanted to go on a whale watch with some friends and had heard that Chris with the Rum Runner was the boat to take. It certainly was! Chris himself is a Marine Biologist and was able to answer our questions and share a lot of information about the whales and other animals we saw. He also had an underwater... More

Six of us had an amazing experience watching whales with Chris and his faithful lookout pal, Moondog on our recent visit to Juneau on Sept 23, 2012. Besides whales, of course, we were also fortunate to sight seals and bald eagles. Chris was very accommodating to our wishes and nothing was too much trouble. After our trip he was also... More
