Eric

Owner & Operations Director
Captain

A Ketchikan local, Eric is an unabashed ocean and mountain lover with 25 years of experience in the maritime industry. When he’s not directing our operations or captaining boats, you can find him climbing, trail running, paddle boarding, scuba diving, or hunting mushrooms. Believing in giving back to the community, Eric volunteers with the local search and rescue group, and serves on several boards.

Paris

Out to Sea Co-founder, Adventure Pup, Best Friend
2008-2024
Paris was a treat loving Alaskan adventure pup and our Out to Sea mascot. She enjoyed many hikes, road trips, camping trips, and hours on the water with her favorite humans (see Eric & Delaney). For the first 4 years of our business, Paris greeted guests from across the country and around the world. Her favorite part of the workday was the short boat ride to the fuel dock, where she would receive treats and attention from everyone working. Paris was an important member of our crew, and we had the honor of knowing and loving her for almost 16 years. Her presence is dearly missed, but we are grateful for all of the adventures and the impact she had on so many of our guests.
