Alaska Sea Kayakers offers a rare opportunity to acquire an established Prince William Sound adventure tourism business in Whittier, Alaska. The sale includes two privately owned harbor buildings, substantial decks, kayak-access improvements, specialized equipment and an established operating platform on long-term City of Whittier lease sites, ideally positioned for world-class wilderness tourism. The business provides guided sea kayaking, half-day and full-day excursions, multi-day wilderness adventures, kayak and equipment rentals, paddling instruction, custom trips, wilderness camping experiences, glacier viewing and boat-assisted kayaking opportunities.
Based in Whittier Harbor, the operation provides direct access to Western Prince William Sound, including Passage Canal, Blackstone Bay, Whale Bay and Nellie Juan. From introductory paddling excursions to extended wilderness trips, the location supports a wide variety of experiences for first-time paddlers, experienced kayakers, independent travelers and visitors seeking professionally guided Alaska adventures.
The Harbor View location includes two operating sites. Lot 11 is approximately 35 feet by 40 feet and features a 20-foot-by-24-foot one-story building with a loft. Exterior improvements include a 24-foot-by-12-foot covered west deck, 32-foot-by-8-foot rear deck, kayak ramp, staircase to the intertidal zone and a 20-foot-by-6-foot front deck with steps. Lot 13 is approximately 30 feet by 40 feet and provides additional space supporting the kayak operation.
The Harbor Triangle location consists of an approximately 30-foot-by-50-foot site featuring a 20-foot-by-16-foot two-story building and an approximately 22-foot-by-13-foot covered deck.
Together, the Harbor View and Harbor Triangle facilities create an established operating footprint for launching, retrieving, storing and staging kayaks; welcoming guests; coordinating tours; and supporting day trips and extended wilderness adventures.
Alaska Sea Kayakers has an established name, operating history, website and online presence, along with visibility through Alaska and Whittier tourism resources and customer-review platforms. The company represents itself as a United States Forest Service permit holder and emphasizes professional guiding, kayaking skills, seamanship, rescue training, Wilderness First Aid, safety and responsible environmental stewardship.
Multiple revenue opportunities include guided excursions, extended wilderness trips, rentals, instruction, custom adventures and equipment-related services. The existing platform may also support future growth through additional tours, partnerships, packages, expanded marketing and complementary Prince William Sound tourism activities.
Whittier offers the uncommon combination of road-system access, proximity to Anchorage and immediate entry into the spectacular marine environment of Prince William Sound. Glaciers, protected waterways, waterfalls, wildlife, rugged coastline and remote wilderness provide the setting for an adventure tourism business that would be difficult to duplicate.
This offering may appeal to an experienced guide, outdoor recreation operator, family enterprise, strategic investor, entrepreneur or established Alaska tourism company seeking an operating business with a recognized brand, diversified adventure offerings, specialized equipment, two privately owned harbor buildings and substantial supporting infrastructure.
