We were not able to book the biking portion of the excursion due to it not being available at the time of our trip, however we did get in touch with Brandon at SailSkagway.com to book the sailing portion of the trip. Communication was excellent and he touched base with us before the trip. Easy to get in touch with even after the excursion. He and his First mate Sierra made the trip so enjoyable. We had been scheduled to sail with another couple who cancelled on Brandon at the last minute. I assumed that he might cancel but he took us out on a private adventure. He and Sierra had fresh baked goodies to eat on the boat and they both were actively taking photos of us when they could and forwarded them to us. Giving us some special memories. We were fortunate enough to get to see a Humpback whale and her calf. Which is unusual for that area, we were told. Brandon stopped the boat while we all took photos. Even before the sail started Brandon spotted a sea otter on the dock which he took us down to see and photograph. Having taught sailing and having my own sailboat, he even allowed me to pilot the boat for a period of time. We even have photos of my wife at the helm, even though she was not keen of sailing it herself. Super Adventure, great Captain and crew. Highly recommend this outing. He also does longer multi- day trips on his 50 foot sailboat. Tried to upload photos but format not supported.
