With Captain Jeff Gorton at the helm, you will always have “locals only” access to some of Alaska’s greatest hidden gems.

A lifelong Alaskan, Jeff has been navigating these waters for decades. He started his ocean career at a young 15 years old, running local boats and working at local lodges. He purchased his first ocean vessel five years later, spending the next two decades cruising around the Prince William Sound and Southeast Alaska. Jeff is a recent retiree who worked in the North Slope oil fields for 15 years. During his career, he would spend his two weeks on the oil fields working and his two weeks off boating. Over the course of time, Jeff has led various river floating trips and fishing charters. He currently holds a 100-Ton USCG Master’s License and is both CPR and First Aid certified. Jeff also has a pilot's license and enjoys flying with his son who is also a pilot.

Born in Montana, Jeff moved to Alaska at just six months old and has lived in Anchorage ever since. As a father of three hardy Alaska boys, 24, 21, 16, he has instilled a love for the sea and encouraged the lessons of living outdoors through hunting, fishing, snow-machining and working on their cabin.
