Meet the Atlin: our shiny new boat!
It’s with great excitement that we introduce our newest boat, the Atlin. Our latest addition to the fleet. Proudly keeping business in Alaska, Coastwise Corporations produced its striking design, layout and smart ergonomics expected in a custom whale watching Catamaran. In conjunction, Homer based Bay Welding constructed the Alaskan marine grade vessel.

Capacity and layout
From the enclosed 49-passenger cabin, to the bow deck and an expansive rooftop as outdoor viewing areas, the Atlin delivers all the fun you would expect in an Alaskan whale watch adventure. A wheelhouse above and inset from the sides of the main cabin, permits passengers easy access to the Wings of the rooftop viewing area. Protectively, such spaces are complete with a wrap-around solid aluminum design to shield passengers from wind.

Viewing areas
Undeniably, the wealth of windows is central to viewing activity. Cleverly, the bench seats are built high to afford everyone maximum visibility. Moreover, all seats boast high-density foam cushions with a matching upholstered backrest. Coupled with a footrest platform for comfort. Each backrest has a tray table/shelf with a cup holder. Plus a Stainless steel grab handle. And below, gear storage for all to conveniently enjoy.

Features
Well-insulated for the inside passage’s fresher days, the main cabin possesses a generous interior height of 6-feet, 8-inches. Thus, accommodating the tallest of guests. Equipped to cater, it’s also furnished with an ever-important marine toilet.
Indoor viewing is enhanced by the large windows and high seats.
Multiple viewing decks give everyone the space needed to enjoy their whale watching experience aboard the Atlin.
Safety
Safety is paramount on the Atlin. Integrated throughout the stairs is a nonskid aluminum Grip Strut. This undoubtedly makes for safe passage up and down the vessel. Additionally, railings around the perimeter secure the rooftop of the main cabin. What’s more, there is space dedicated for two life rafts. As well as a full complement of life jackets in the bench seating.
You don’t have to stand outside when it’s a little fresh on the Inside Passage; all our cabins are heated.
A word of thanks
Local tourism is set to be buoyed up by the latest addition to the Juneau fleet. Foremost, we are very grateful for the opportunity to partner with Coastwise Corporations and Bay Welding. Engineered and built to perfection, the Atlin stands to deliver everything passengers need to make their time on the water with family and friends a breeze.
