I Boarded the Real Deadliest Catch Boat in Alaska, Regent Seven Seas Excursion Review
In Ketchikan Alaska we stepped aboard the Aleutian Ballad — the real crab fishing vessel made famous by the Discovery Channel series Deadliest Catch — and what happened next is something I am still talking about. Two veteran king crab fishermen with 40 years of experience in the Bering Sea walked us through the reality of crab fishing. We held live king crab fresh from the daily catch. We ate it right there on the boat. And we heard firsthand stories from the men who actually lived this life season after season in some of the most dangerous waters on earth. This is not a staged tourist experience. This is the real Aleutian Ballad, with real fishermen, and it is the only place in the world where this excursion operates. We also spotted bald eagles during the tour and there is always the chance of seeing seals, bears along the shoreline and whales out on the water. Alaska delivers every single time. If you are sailing Regent Seven Seas in Alaska, this excursion belongs on your must-do list. I book Alaska sailings for clients across Canada and I tell every single one of them the same thing — do not skip this one.
