This is our third trip with Capt Chris and Moon onboard the Rum Runner. First cruise ship of the season and the first port. This was a great way to start our trip. We saw many different whales and even got a whale tail shot for the album. Capt Chris is very knowledgeable and friendly and Moon was a great... More

We have been going to Alaska on cruises for the last 9 years. The 1st yr. we went whale watching on a Cruise Ship tour. Never again! We are slightly handicapped seniors and we were pushed shoved and jostled from one side of the party boat to the other by inconsiderate fellow cruise passengers trying to see the whales. We... More

First time ever whale watching and we had an awesome time! Captain Chris is very friendly and extremely knowledgeable! Our family had a wonderful experience. Our little girl just loved Admiral Moon (the dog) - they were fast friends! To finish off the trip, the Eagles were amazing! More

For my brother's birthday, we booked the Rum Runner for a day of fishing. Captain Chris was extremely knowledgeable and entertained us with informative stories and tales as we navigated to the fishing spot. It wasn't long before we had landed our first one. Despite the partially inclement weather, our time on the water was the highlight of our trip... More

Captain Chris, deckhand Josh, and Moon the Fish Dog did an excellent job for my family. It seriously could not have been better. Our ship got in early and was in Juneau all day, so we booked the All day Fishing and Photo Safari. The van picked us up right at our ship. We caught over a dozen silver “coho”... More

We went out with the captain on a halibut trip this past summer and had a blast! The seas were a bit rough but Capt. Chris made the ride to the fishing hole as comfortable as possible. We tried a couple of places with no luck but within an hour or two he had us on top of the fish.... More

I've always wanted to catch a salmon and I wanted my kids, ages 10 and 11, to experience it as well. So we booked a charter with the Rum Runner for the day our cruise ship was in Juneau. We booked directly with Captain Chris and not through the cruise line. I expect that saved us a few books. Upon... More

We went out with Rum Runner Charters for a half day fishing experience, and had the time of our lives. Captain Chris and his trusty sidekick Moon took us out for a great adventure. The purpose of our trip was to celebrate my 30th birthday, so my wife and parents were along for the ride. My wife and my mom... More

The boat was perfect for our group and the captain couldn't have been more knowledgeable and charming. He had a wealth of information about all of the wildlife and managed to find us a lot to see and we were able to get close enough to take great pictures. He provided snacks and activities for the kids and patiently answered... More
