About Us

Out to Sea Expedition Co

Founded in 2019 by Ketchikan locals Eric Lunde and Delaney Murphy, Out to Sea Expedition Company’s mission is to explore our world with an adventurous spirit in a sustainable way. Out to Sea was inspired by a love for the pristine wilderness and wildness of Alaska, and a desire to share our beautiful home with visitors from around the world in a way that is both responsible and authentically Alaskan.

Why Zodiacs?

Used by scientists and explorers all over the world, Zodiac Inflatables are the ideal vessels for our adventures. In addition to being seaworthy, safe, reliable, and comfortable, these boats are incredibly fun!

Welcome to Ketchikan!

Ketchikan is our base of operations, not only because it is our home, but it is also a fantastic place to explore the natural wonders of Southeast Alaska. Nestled in the heart of the Tongass National Forest, and right next door to Misty Fjords National Monument, we are surrounded by incredible beauty and solitude.
