About Morsa Marine
Hands-on 3-hour tour with wildlife viewing, crewmember participation, and a crab feast.
Morsa Marine is a Juneau, Alaska-based small business that operates hands-on commercial crabbing tours for visitors seeking authentic maritime experiences. The company offers the Alaskan Commercial Crabbing Tour, a three-hour outing that combines scenic coastal transit, wildlife viewing, and live commercial pot retrieval. Guests can participate in the crab pot pull as crewmember-license holders, observe common bycatch, and learn about how commercial crabbing is conducted in Southeast Alaska.
Tours depart from Juneau and focus on responsible, educational interaction with the local marine environment. Trips include guided commentary about vessel operations, gear, and local species encountered during the outing. After retrieving pots, guests are treated to a crab feast and charcuterie box featuring locally sourced items when available, providing a taste of Alaskan seafood alongside interpretive context.
Morsa Marine emphasizes safety and compliance with local regulations; all participants receive orientation before boarding and instructions prior to crewmember participation. The format suits small groups and individuals who prefer active, experiential tours over passive sightseeing. Wildlife spotting opportunities are common along the route, with potential sightings of seabirds and marine mammals typical to the Juneau area.
Booking information, availability, and any seasonal schedule are provided directly by the operator and subject to change based on weather and fishing conditions. Visitors seeking an authentic introduction to commercial crabbing in Alaska will find Morsa Marine’s Alaskan Commercial Crabbing Tour to be a direct, participatory way to experience the industry and sample fresh crab on a short, three-hour outing. Reservations are recommended during the summer season.
“Every outing is organized with local river knowledge, basic safety instruction, and equipment checks before departure.”
