Captain Billy served as a Police Lieutenant for the Hoonah Police Department for over 25 Years. During that time he spent a lot of time on the water helping with search and rescue and boat recovery.

* Our Location: Located in Port Frederick along side Icy Straits, Hoonah Alaska is a quiet town which has been home to the Tlingit people since advancing ice pushed them from their home in Glacier Bay during the last ice age. The largest Tlingit community in Alaska, Hoonah has a rich cultural heritage which can be explored and enjoyed during your visit.
Due to Hoonah’s location, we are given immediate access to fishing and excellent whale watching. Humpback and killer whales have been spotted from time to time working along the shores right in front of town. The rich waters of Icy Strait support a large and diverse population of marine mammals, fish, and birds.
The City of Hoonah is Located one mile from the Icy Strait Point cruise port, which offers visitors several excellent places to eat, shop, and stay during your visit.
