Design your exclusive itinerary then join SEA MIST as you cruise the wildlife-rich shorelines and open waters of Prince William Sound or Southeast Alaska.

You can visit an oyster farm and pick up fresh oysters for the chef to prepare while you relax among ancient glaciers.

Captain and Crew

Jeff Gorton, Captain
With Captain Jeff Gorton at the helm, you will always have “locals only” access to some of Alaska’s greatest hidden gems.

A lifelong Alaskan, Jeff has been navigating these waters for decades. He started his ocean career at a young 15 years old, running local boats and working local lodges. He purchased his first ocean vessel five years later, spending the next two decades cruising around the Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska. Jeff is a recent retiree who worked in the North Slope oil fields for 15 years. During his career, he would spend his two weeks on the oil fields working and his two weeks off boating. Over the course of time, Jeff has led various river floating trips and fishing charters. He currently holds a 50-Ton USCG Master’s License and is both CPR and First Aid certified.

Born in Montana, Jeff moved to Alaska at just six months old and has lived in Anchorage ever since. As a father of three hardy Alaska boys, 21,18 and 13, he has instilled a love for the sea and encouraged the lessons of living outdoors through hunting, fishing, snow-machining and working on their cabin.
