Business Spotlight

If you like being outdoors, there are a lot of reasons to come to Alaska.  Sitka’s Secrets is a charter boat company my husband and I concocted in 1986.  We offer marine wildlife viewing charters in Sitka Sound. Our objective is to get one-on-one with people, to help them appreciate what Alaska has to offer and recognize the importance of sharing Alaska’s resources with generations to come.

Everyone hopes wisdom comes with age. What have we learned after being in business in Alaska for 25 years?  How to be patient.  How to be opportunistic.  How to be respectful of all life from which we draw sustenance.  How what looks like a bunch of trees, overabundance of fish, or barren ground is not that simple.  Those trees, those fish, and that barren ground are already spoken for, and we should really be asking for permission prior to taking, but we don’t.

Being alive means we’re consuming something.  All we can do is try to minimize our impact.  We look forward to every charter because it gives us one more chance to do it right.  We hope we’re one of your reasons for coming to Alaska.
