Alaska Adventure Tourism Business in Prince William Sound

Glaciers - Wildlife - Personal Watercraft - Blackstone Bay

Own a Truly Unique Alaska Adventure Business

Opportunities like this don't come along often in Alaska.

Glacier Jet Ski Adventures is an established adventure tourism business based in Whittier, Alaska, offering guided personal watercraft excursions into the spectacular waters of Prince William Sound and Blackstone Bay.

This is not your typical sightseeing operation. Guests experience Alaska from the seat of a personal watercraft, traveling approximately 55 to 60 miles round trip through one of the state's most dramatic marine environments, where glaciers, waterfalls, floating ice, towering mountains, fjords, and wildlife become part of the adventure.

The owners are retiring and relocating outside the country, creating an opportunity for the next owner to step into an established Alaska tourism operation with operating facilities, strategic leases, company-owned housing, equipment infrastructure, an established website and online presence, and a tourism concept that would be difficult to recreate from the ground up.

Adventure Tourism Done Differently

Glacier Jet Ski Adventures promotes itself as Alaska's original glacier jet ski tour, providing visitors with a completely different way to experience Prince William Sound.

The approximately four-hour guided adventure departs from Whittier and travels into Blackstone Bay and surrounding glacier country.

Depending on conditions and wildlife activity, guests may experience:

- Tidewater and hanging glaciers
- Massive waterfalls
- Icebergs and floating glacier ice
- Sea otters and seals
- Sea lions
- Eagles
- Whales and other marine wildlife
- Incredible mountain and fjord scenery

Instead of simply viewing Alaska from a boat or through a window, guests become part of the experience.

Established Tour Experience

The operation has been developed to provide guests with the equipment, instruction, and professional guidance needed to explore Prince William Sound by personal watercraft.

The advertised guest experience includes:

- Sea-Doo personal watercraft
- Professional guides
- Drysuits and safety equipment
- Enclosed helmets
- In-helmet communication
- Operating instruction and safety briefing
- Guest photographs
- Small-group guided adventures

The company emphasizes experienced guides, quality equipment, guest safety, and responsible operation within the Prince William Sound environment.

Smitty's Cove Operational Lease

According to the seller, the lease was recently renewed for an additional five-year term, providing continued access to an important component of the operation.

Company-Owned Whittier Housing

Also included in the offering is a company-owned studio apartment located at 641 Blackstone Road, Unit 608, Whittier, Alaska 99693.

The apartment provides a valuable housing option for an owner, manager, or employee in Whittier. According to the seller, the existing note associated with the apartment will be satisfied with the sale.

Established Brand & Digital Presence

Glacier Jet Ski Adventures has developed an established identity within Alaska's adventure tourism market.

The business has an established website, online booking presence, operating history, and public guest review history. For the next owner, this means acquiring an existing tourism platform rather than starting with only an idea and attempting to build recognition from the ground up.

Why Whittier & Prince William Sound?

Location is fundamental to this business.

Whittier is a gateway to Prince William Sound, providing direct access to glaciers, protected waterways, marine wildlife, waterfalls, mountains, and some of Alaska's most spectacular coastal scenery.

The community serves visitors pursuing sightseeing, fishing, boating, kayaking, glacier viewing, and outdoor adventure. Glacier Jet Ski Adventures adds another dimension by allowing guests to personally experience this environment from the water.

The location and tour concept work together to create something that would be difficult to duplicate elsewhere.

Business & Growth Opportunity

Today's Alaska traveler is increasingly searching for more than sightseeing.

They want an experience they can remember, photograph, share, and talk about long after returning home.

Glacier Jet Ski Adventures combines several of Alaska's strongest visitor attractions into one experience:

Glaciers + Wildlife + Prince William Sound + Adventure + Personal Watercraft

Future ownership may provide opportunities to strengthen digital marketing, develop additional tourism partnerships, expand referral relationships, create lodging and tour packages, and continue building upon the company's established position within Whittier's visitor market.
