Our Crew

Hailing from Palmer and of Athabascan descent, Sherry began work at Kenai Fjords Tours in 1996 and now operates one of our 95-foot Explorer vessels. In the off-season, she’s been known to travel to Antarctica to work as a Communications Operator at the South Pole Station, helping to coordinate arrivals of cargo, passengers and fuel. When she’s not helping educate guests about whales in the North Pacific, she’s learning about those Down Under. Sherry has worked on every vessel in the Kenai Fjords Tours fleet, and is also a certified bulldozer operator.

Tim is a fourth generation from Seward. His great grandparents arrived in Seward from Norway within a few years of the town being founded. Tim started his maritime career with Kenai Fjords Tours as a deckhand in the summer of 1996. After receiving his captains license he pursued some other maritime endeavors such as running a jet boat on the Talkeetna River, tug boats, and both commercial and charter fishing. Having seen most all of the coastline of Alaska he can easily say that this is one of the most beautiful and dynamic coastlines in the state. Tim enjoys taking people out from his home port and showing them the beauty of the Kenai Fjords National Park.    

Michael Boyce has spent his adult life nurturing his twin passions: traveling and the outdoors. He has worked in such far-flung places as the South Pole, Greenland, the South Pacific, Denali National Park, and Mallorca, often on the deck of sailboats. He never forgot his first experience as a passenger on a Kenai Fjords Tours vessel in 1992, and 24 years later, after amassing the experience and licenses necessary to qualify, was thrilled to accept a position with the company.

Born and raised in Alaska and of ancient indigenous decent, Chad has lived and worked in some of the most beautiful areas of Alaska. His love of the outdoors has brought him to every corner of Alaska. He has always called this great state home, from the Seward Peninsula to the Alaskan panhandle finally settling in Seward. For over 25 years Chad has been sharing Alaska with travelers, from the pristine waters of Bristol Bay to the rugged Alaska coastline. Chad is a USCG licensed Captain and has been with Kenai Fjords Tours since 1997. He has a passion for sharing his home state and showcasing its natural wonders.
