You haven't seen Gig Harbor until you've seen it by boat!!!  Join us aboard our brand new 2023 Jeanneau NC895!  This is a professional touring boat that has an enclosed, heated cabin with dinning table, as well as a covered outdoor seating area that is enclosed during the winter.  It's fast, stable, and extremely comfortable!  Our boat seats 4 passengers comfortably inside the cabin, and up to a total of 6 passengers very comfortably while offering full 360° views to all! Every tour gets you outside the ‘Harbor, where you’ll hopefully get to see some of our regular maritime sights…seals, sea lions, porpoises, bald eagles, and occasionally minke, orca, humpback, and gray whales!  We don’t offer whale watching tours, per se, but if seen (which, honestly, isn’t uncommon), we definitely take advantage of the opportunity, keep our required distances, but totally embrace the experience!!!  Its one of OUR favorite things to see, too!!! Our pride and reputation are on providing private, personalized tours onboard an extremely comfortable new boat.  You never share the boat with anyone outside of your group.  We are proud of this niche and think you will enjoy it! So welcome aboard!  We’re looking forward to creating memories for you on the water!!! Our tours and custom charters are limited to a maximum of six passengers (per USCG regulations), plus crew….no exceptions. We are a CAPTAIN ONLY boat.  You never share our boat with strangers.  Prices are per charter, not per person!  You may bring aboard your own food or beverages (including alcohol).  No red wine or Cheetos type snacks please!  Nothing super messy or that stain.  Listed tour prices include taxes.  Sorry, no dogs are allowed.  All our tours include a licensed Captain / Tour Guide.  Guided Tours:  AMAZING GIG HARBOR:  2 hrs A delightful guided tour of picturesque Gig Harbor filled with entertaining, local history! After passing the lighthouse we head out of the bay, cruising past the old ferry landing and historic tribal beach areas. We stop for a photo opportunity with the Tacoma Narrows Bridges in the background.  From there, we head over to Point Defiance….the perfect location for spotting wildlife!  We then return to the harbor for a full tour of the bay!  GALLOPING GERTIE and SALMON BEACH:  3 hrs Get everything in the previous tour PLUS an an up-close look at the Tacoma Narrows Bridges and historic Salmon Beach!  At the famous bridges, we stop underneath to learn about their fascinating history.  Salmon Beach is not only historic, its one of the most unique communities you’ll ever see.  Non-alcoholic sparking blush will be served as you sit back and take in the scenery of these amazing sights only viewable from the water.   THE WHOLE GIG!:  4 hrs This is the tour if you want it all!!! It includes everything offered in the above tours PLUS a whole lot more!  We’ll see the famous Wurlitzer Mansion and beautiful Wollochet Bay.  We circle quaint Tanglewood Island and its lighthouse, see the Fox Island area, and then check out Toliva Shoal to learn about its tie to the area.  Chambers Bay is next, and then back under the Tacoma Narrows bridges to take in the Galloping Gertie, Salmon Beach, and Gig Harbor tours!  LOT’s to see and experience!  (This tour is LONG, approx. 30 miles, and not suggested if younger children are accompanying.) Custom Tours/Charters: Our voyages depart from Gig Harbor.  The Tacoma Narrows Bridges make a beautiful backdrop for pictures.  If you’re looking for a custom tour, please let us help you plan it!  We can create a personal tour of our waters that are of things that intrigue you the most!  Celebrating a special occasion???  From real estate waterfront viewings, birthdays, engagement proposals, anniversaries, photography shoots, to the solemn yet joyful celebration of someones life, by the scattering of their ashes at sea, we do it all!  We are equipped to handle most requests.

    If you want a small, private experience on a boat and learn about Gig Harbor's history, then book your adventure now! Captain Ken and Gay are amazing! I did a booking with them twice over Labor Day weekend, so that should tell you how highly I would recommend their tour.

    Captain Ken and Gay are the best hosts. Their boat is super nice, cool, immaculate. Communication was always clear and open. We departed and arrive on schedule. We learn a lot about Gig Harbor and surroundings. We will definitely do business again and we totally recommend them

    Captain Ken and his wife, Gay, made our boat tour and ashes scattering experience one that our family is eternally grateful for. They were kind, compassionate, thoughtful, knowledgeable and professional every step of the way. They went above and beyond to ensure that every detail was taken care of with memories to last a lifetime. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Ken and Gay were great hosts and took us for a beautiful ride around Gig Harbor. They have a deep connection to the area and shared a lot of stories and local knowledge. We saw a bald eagle, blue heron and seals. The bonus was some great family photos and on-board treats. A fantastic way to spend the afternoon - we highly recommend a trip on the On Time!

    Captain Ken and Gay take a boat ride and turn it in to an experience!!! Our trip was booked last minute and they still managed to have the boat decorated, food & drinks, and made sure every bit of our day was special! My 3 & 7 year old had a blast and have not stopped talking about all the fun facts they learned and critters they saw!! You get your money’s worth and so much more!! Thank you!!! Can’t wait to come again!

Our charter company is a culmination of many years of experience on the Pacific Northwest waters. Tony and Erin, a husband and wife team, bring the best of two maritime worlds together. They have lived in 'The Harbor for the last 26+ years. Captain Tony recently retired from a large, local police department after 25 years in law enforcement. Most of that time was spent on our local waters as a Police Diver and Marine Patrol Officer. He received his US Coast Guard license after putting in all the required sea time and graduating from Flagship Maritime, in Tacoma, WA. No easy feat receiving a Master Captains license! With over a decade in the rescue response profession, you are assured you’re in qualified hands on the water! ​ First Mate Erin has, and continues to work for one of the Nation's largest shellfish farms. She loves sharing her extensive knowledge of the marine environment with our guests!
