Jason Maruszak
Captain
United States · English
Hop on board and let Captain Jason show you what makes Alaska so special. With a background in Biological Sciences and years spent studying the Bering Sea, Jason has always been passionate about the ocean and everything in it. His path has taken him from researching marine life to guiding wildlife tours in Southeast Alaska—three years of helping guests spot humpback whales, cruise through glacier-filled fjords, and soak in some of the most amazing scenery out there. He’s worked on fishing yachts in Baja, Mexico, and run over 200 charters in Chicago—but Alaska keeps pulling him back. Jason’s trips are all about finding those tucked-away spots most people never get to see—hidden coves full of sea otters, bald eagles soaring overhead, and the perfect fishing holes for reeling in wild salmon. Whether you're up for an adventure or just want to kick back and take in the views, Jason’s got you covered. With hundreds of charters under his belt, Jason’s more than just your captain—he’s your guide, and storyteller, making sure you have an all-around good time on the water. Every trip is built around what you want to experience, making sure you walk away with unforgettable memories. Come explore Alaska with Captain Jason—laid-back, experienced, and ready to show you the best of this incredible place.

Cruising South West Alaska: when to go and where to anchor
Best time
The charter season runs from June to August. June offers the longest daylight hours and relatively drier conditions. July and August bring warmer air temperatures, prime salmon runs, and peak brown bear activity along the coastline. Prevailing summer winds are variable, though low-pressure systems can bring gale-force winds, rain, and swell from the Gulf of Alaska. Fog is frequent, and September brings deteriorating weather.
Practical tips
- Connections route via Anchorage (ANC) to regional hubs including Kodiak (ADQ), Homer (HOM), or King Salmon (AKN), with remote boarding arranged by floatplane.
- Harbours in Alaska's towns are usually 10–20 minutes from the local airport; remote starts are reached by floatplane.
- National parks such as Katmai enforce strict minimum approach distances and food storage rules when viewing coastal brown bears on foot or tender.
Anchorages to know
- Geographic HarborA deep fjord backed by ash-covered cliffs, offering secure holding in mud and reliable brown bear viewing during summer salmon runs.
- Kukak BayA well-protected bay on the Katmai coast with multiple arms providing sheltered anchorage from Shelikof Strait swells.
- Larsen BayAn enclosed inlet on Kodiak Island offering calm water, good mud holding, and shelter from prevailing outer-coast winds.
- Alitak BayA large, sheltered natural harbour on southwestern Kodiak Island providing safe anchorage options during heavy offshore weather.
