Wildlife Charters & Scenic Cruises with D&G Charters in Homer

Located at the edge of Kachemak Bay in Homer, Alaska, D&G Charters offers a distinctive gateway to some of the state’s richest marine wildlife and coastal landscapes. Homer, often called the "Halibut Fishing Capital of the World," is a rugged, windswept town known for its dramatic mountain views and access to the boreal wilderness. D&G Charters specializes in marine-based tours aboard vessels like the M/V Snowgoose II and M/V Sweet T, delivering an immersive experience combining wildlife observation with relaxed cruising.

The tours focus on scenic wildlife viewing and include signature experiences such as the Scenic Wildlife + Brunch Tour. Passengers have the chance to encounter sea otters, harbor seals, and bald eagles in their natural habitat, while navigating among tide flats, kelp beds, and saltwater fjords carved by glaciers. The watercraft themselves serve as comfortable platforms designed for optimal viewing and leisurely travel, making these outings approachable for families and first-time boaters.

What sets D&G Charters apart is their combination of intimate group sizes and knowledgeable crew who share insights on the local ecosystem and fishing culture, making each trip both educational and visually rewarding. Kachemak Bay State Park, right at the doorstep, is an ecological jewel featuring old-growth forests, diverse bird populations, and sometimes glimpses of orca pods farther offshore.

Tourists drawn here are not just after photos—they're seeking connection with Alaska’s rugged maritime frontier through calm waters and crisp sea air. Whether it’s catching sight of an otter cracking shellfish or a soaring eagle against a dramatic mountain backdrop, D&G Charters crafts an accessible yet thrilling way to witness Alaska’s coastal wilderness. This company stands as a vital part of Homer’s outdoor adventure scene, offering a uniquely maritime perspective distinct from inland hikes or glacier treks typical of the region.
