Prince William Sound Eco-Charters was first established in 2000 by a seasoned captain, familiar with the Sound and the winds and seas that affect it. Whether your interests lie in fishing, sightseeing, transportation to cabins or other destinations around the Sound, or even photography, please give us a chance to meet your needs.

The owner, Captain Dave, retired from the National Weather Service in May, 2003 (after a very rewarding 35+ year career). He has been recognized for many outstanding weather-related achievements and presently puts his vast Alaskan weather experience to good use.  He serves as a weather consultant and typically examines weather possibilities days and weeks in advance of his charters.

Dave's on-the-water credentials include a 50 ton master's license and 9 years owning and operating charters in Prince William Sound. Dave is also a member in the Alaska Charter Association (ACA), the Prince William Sound Charter Boat Association (PWSCBA), the Whittier Port and Harbor Commission, the Oil Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) committee of the Prince William Sound Regional Citizens’ Advisory Council (PWSRCAC) and the National Association of Charter Boat Operators (NACO). He participates in several elements of the community of Whittier, including the Chamber of Commerce. Most importantly he has over 20 years of boating experience in the Sound and over 35 years of fishing in Alaska.

This year, we are especially proud to be a part of the 1st Annual Alaskan Veterans Halibut Fishing Tournament.  In an effort to express our deepest appreciation, we, along with others, will be dedicating May 21st to our military personnel...taking them out on the beautiful waters of the Sound for a day of fishing fun.  More information on this event can be found at www.akvft.org .
