A Little About Us:
Allen Marine Tours was established in 1970 when Bob and Betty Allen, and their five children, restored a ruined boat - the first in a long line of Allen Marine tour vessels. Today, the company remains an Alaska Native owned and operated business and guided by a family of life-long Alaskans. Allen Marine Tour's parent company is Allen Marine, Inc, which owns and operates a Shipyard, Alaska Dream Cruises, and several other subsidiaries in Southeast Alaska. We are proud of our legacy and invite passionate employees to join our team to keep Alaskan Hospitality alive!

Getting Here and Getting Around
Our bases of operation are surrounded by wilderness; exclusively accessible from the outside world by Alaska Airlines or the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry Service. Allen Marine does not offer transportation assistance or reimbursement to reach each individual location.
Juneau is the state capital (population; 32,000) with miles of road carved along the coast. A limited public bus system connects the main commerce centers, but does not extend far outside the main city limits. Public transportation ends 1.5 miles from our facility. It is recommended to bring a vehicle to Juneau or consider purchasing a used vehicle (usually ample availability!). Car-pooling and bike-commuting among crew members is very common.
Ketchikan is Alaska’s “Salmon Capital” and the fourth largest city (population: 14,000) in the state. There is a public bus system that connects the main commerce centers but does not extend far outside the main city limits. It is possible to live comfortably in Ketchikan without a vehicle, but it is recommended that you at least bring a bike to get around town.
Sitka, Alaska’s first capital, is considered to be one of Alaska’s most picturesque and historically fascinating communities (population: 9,000). Sitka is a very pedestrian and bike-friendly town with 7 miles of road in each direction from the downtown area. Local bus service is also available.
For Fun
Southeast Alaska boasts countless glaciers, remote islands, an abundance of wildlife and small communities with a whole lot of heart! Kayaking, hiking, biking, camping, boating and fishing are just a few favorite local activities to indulge in on your time off. Local recreation centers offer activities from swimming and racquetball to martial arts and belly dancing. Explore our towns by attending a wide variety of festivals and performances scheduled throughout the summer featuring local and visiting artists. Browse local galleries, museums and libraries for a glimpse into the cultural panorama, or just join your friends for a sunset campfire (a must-do!).
