July 2025 guest comment:
“We had a friend recommend GLACIER BEAR with Infinity Yacht Charters for our family vacation. I am simply awestruck with our experience! I would never have imagined how incredible it really is. Captain Neil and his crew were simply amazing. They thought of everything. I promise that we saw things on our trip that no visitors see. They know these waters like the back of their hand. Every day the view was more spectacular. Mountains, whales, bears, sea lions, sea otters, bald eagles, water falls, islands, glaciers, hot springs and icebergs were on the menu. Speaking of menus, the food was terrific and plentiful. We even got to enjoy fresh crab and shrimp that we caught ourselves.
We had access to our own private fishing boat with an expert fishing guide to ensure that we experienced the thrill of catching salmon, cod and halibut. All of which were cleaned, frozen and expertly packaged for the flight home.
This was truly the family vacation of a lifetime. Thank you Captain Neil, for making it happen!
I cannot encourage fellow travelers enough to book a trip with GLACIER BEAR. You will be amazed just as we were.”
