Captain Leif and his son Torin

“Every day is an entirely new adventure, not just for our guests, but for us as well. Even after so many years I still get so excited every time a whale decides to swim close to the boat, or shocked as we watch a giant piece of glacial ice come crashing into the ocean in front of us. I love that I get to share this unique and special experience with new people everyday.” 

– Captain Leif Brasher, Northern Latitude

Who is Northern Latitude Adventures?

Northern Latitude Adventures was Founded in 2014 by 4 friends with a passion for the Ocean and its Denizens.

Leif, Shoshannah, Nick, and Ryan had all worked for various other boat tour operators in Alaska and elsewhere before they decided to build something new together.

They gathered all their collective money, resources and nautical know how to buy and outfit the first boat for their upstart tour company.

The “Hoogacha”, named for a local cryptid legend, is a 2002 model 26’ Hewescraft Alaskan that has offered a great platform for watching whales, and exploring deep into Kenai Fjords National Park.

8 years later and Northern Latitude Adventures now has 4 boats in its little fleet, including the original Hoogacha that started it all.

Leif, Shoshannh, Nick, and Ryan still own and operate Northern Latitude Adventures, and still have a deep Love for all things Ocean.
