Professionally Guided Photo Tours

The Discovery has served as a platform for amateur and professional still and motion picture photographers for many years. The Discovery’s professional staff combined with Prince William Sound’s abundant wildlife and birding photography opportunities, make the perfect combination for compelling photography

Captain Rand, an avid photographer himself, is familiar with the complex demands often involved with capturing great photos, and he and the Discovery crew understand the necessary needs, elements and interests of photographers: positioning the vessel, operating inflatable skiffs, critical maneuvering, timing of lighting and an intimate knowledge of the sounds secret treasures.

The small ship M/V Discovery is available to charter for film crews, videographers, photo clubs, or groups wanting a voyage with an emphasis on photography. We invite you to organize your own trip or participate in one of our scheduled photography cruises and Land & Sea adventures, guided by a professional Alaskan photographer.
