Share on Reddit Business Description
Glacier Jet Ski Adventures is an established adventure tourism business based in Whittier, Alaska, offering guided personal watercraft excursions into the spectacular waters of Prince William Sound and Blackstone Bay.
This is not your typical sightseeing operation. Guests experience Alaska from the seat of a personal watercraft, traveling approximately 55 to 60 miles round trip through one of the state's most dramatic marine environments, where glaciers, waterfalls, floating ice, towering mountains, fjords, and wildlife become part of the adventure.
The owners are retiring and relocating outside the country, creating an opportunity for the next owner to step into an established Alaska tourism operation with operating facilities, strategic leases, company-owned housing, equipment infrastructure, an established website and online presence, and a tourism concept that would be difficult to recreate from the ground up.
Adventure Tourism Done Differently
Glacier Jet Ski Adventures promotes itself as Alaska's original glacier jet ski tour, providing visitors with a completely different way to experience Prince William Sound.
The approximately four-hour guided adventure departs from Whittier and travels into Blackstone Bay and surrounding glacier country.
Depending on conditions and wildlife activity, guests may experience:
- Tidewater and hanging glaciers
- Massive waterfalls
- Icebergs and floating glacier ice
- Sea otters and seals
- Sea lions
- Eagles
- Whales and other marine wildlife
- Incredible mountain and fjord scenery
Instead of simply viewing Alaska from a boat or through a window, guests become part of the experience.
Established Tour Experience
The operation has been developed to provide guests with the equipment, instruction, and professional guidance needed to explore Prince William Sound by personal watercraft.
The advertised guest experience includes:
- Sea-Doo personal watercraft
- Professional guides
- Drysuits and safety equipment
- Enclosed helmets
- In-helmet communication
- Operating instruction and safety briefing
- Guest photographs
- Small-group guided adventures
The company emphasizes experienced guides, quality equipment, guest safety, and responsible operation within the Prince William Sound environment
