Homer Day Cruises

Homer is the hal­ibut cap­i­tal of Alas­ka, and this long­time char­ter com­pa­ny offers a blue-chip way to get to the fish. They have high-qual­i­ty boats, expe­ri­enced cap­tains, and enthu­si­as­tic crews — as well as an inside line on find­ing hal­ibut, rock fish and sil­ver salmon. But they also offer a vari­ety of oth­er ways to enjoy the waters off Kachemak Bay, from wildlife cruis­ing to pad­dling a kayak or hik­ing in Kachemak Bay State Park. 

Set sail on a scenic jour­ney across Kachemak Bay with Rain­bow Tours, where you’ll encounter whales, sea lions, otters, and more. Choose from 3- or 7‑hour nar­rat­ed cruis­es, explor­ing coastal beau­ty and the charm­ing town of Sel­dovia. Enjoy sta­ble, com­fort­able ves­sels with indoor seat­ing and knowl­edge­able guides who bring Alaska’s marine life and his­to­ry to life. Pri­vate char­ters also avail­able for spe­cial events.

Whether you’d like to go on a per­son­al­ized boat tour of the Homer area or take a water taxi to the Alaskan back­coun­try, Homer is an ide­al place to launch from, and Cold­wa­ter has the boats and exper­tise to get you there. Explore places like Kachemak Bay State Park, the small town of Sel­dovia, and pic­turesque Hal­ibut Cove.
