The Boat Company, incorporated in Alaska in 1979 by the McIntosh Foundation, is a non-profit educational organization offering luxury eco-cruises through Southeast Alaska. The itinerary of Boat Company trips is flexible and spontaneous. With a skilled and capable crew on the M/V Liseron and M/V Mist Cove – featuring a ratio of two guests per one crew member – the needs and wishes of each guest can be accommodated without difficulty. Hikers can spend as much time off the boat as they like – hiking the forest service trails, beachcombing the tide flats, walking the stream beds and taking leisurely strolls along the beaches in the company of our trained naturalists. Fishermen can stream fish or take out skiffs with guides and try their luck. Canoes and kayaks can explore hidden covers and scenic shorelines. One doesn’t just view the magnificent land from afar... one gets out and experiences it!
