**About The Boat Company**
We cruise the Tongass National Forest with the intent of introducing people, in an intimate way, to one of the world's greatest places, in hopes that they too will feel this area is worth conserving for generations to come. Our explorations are thoughtfully designed to immerse our passengers in their own experiences of Southeast Alaska, whether fishing, wildlife viewing, hiking by day, while also enjoying gourmet meals, fine wines and private cabins at night.

As the only nonprofit sustainable cruise line in the world, The Boat Company is actively addressing the conservation issues of Southeast Alaska in the halls of Congress and other governmental agencies at both the state and federal levels.

The organization offers weeklong educational small ship cruises in southeast Alaska, home to the Tongass National Forest, which at 16,500,000 acres (25,800 square miles), the national largest, and the earth's last, substantially intact temperate rain forest. Our purpose is to educate….

Each of our vessels carries trained naturalists specializing not only in flora and fauna, but fisheries expertise as well. Science says that temperate rainforests are more biologically diverse than tropical forests. Although many of Tongass' 8-to-10-foot diameter, 1,000-year-old trees have been cut, many remain. Our presentations stress the importance of preserving wildlife habitat, for bears, eagles, deer, wolves and a myriad of other species, and the watersheds in that habitat which are home to six species of salmon and other fishes. We inform our customers about the effects that warming trends are having on marine life (whales, sea lions, otters, shellfish, orcas et al.) and especially the glaciers that are quickly thinning and retreating.
