Lazy Otter Charters, Inc. specializes in transporting sea kayakers and other adventurers to remote areas of the Sound out of Whittier, Alaska, including to the Forest Service Cabins in the area. Our beachable boats provide safe, fast, friendly, and dependable drop-off and pickup services anywhere in Western Prince William Sound. Our repeat customers confirm our standards!
Our three vessels are all beachable for ease in loading and unloading. The Qayaq Chief and High Velocity are landing crafts that make loading kayaks and gear a breeze. We can accommodate individuals and groups of varying size. These vessels are designed to provide stability, comfort, and visibility in combination with speed, and maneuverability This makes them the best choice for your water taxi needs.
Because most of the area we service in Prince William Sound is part of the Nellie Juan-College Fjord National Study Area, we do not allow chain saws and generators in accordance with USFS rules. Visit this link for more information. NFSD RULES

Share a Ride
We strive to coordinate corresponding trips to help with the cost for all parties, often combining groups heading in the same direction, especially during the height of the season. However, because our schedule is dynamic, shared rides and any resulting discount are not guaranteed and can only be confirmed on the day of your trip.
Ride Along Adventures
Looking for a last-minute chance to get out on the water? While most of our tours book out, we occasionally offer “Ride Along” trips. This isn’t a guided tour, but rather an opportunity to travel to remote locations in the sound. These opportunities are last-minute because our water taxi schedules are constantly changing. We recommend stopping by our office for a chat to see if a Ride Along is currently available. Please note we cannot book these in advance and it is not guaranteed that we will have a ride along available.
