60 Degrees Adventure Charters is owned by longtime Alaskans with a thirst for adventure. The name 60 Degrees refers to the latitude of Seward, Alaska – the company's homeport.
Every member of our team shares a passion for sharing this beautiful place and all it has to offer with our guests.
Captain Tommy
Tommy was born and raised in Duluth, MN. After college, he moved to Montana with an urge to experience the mountains. He fell in love with the mountain lifestyle and it was a natural progression to venture to Alaska.
Tommy has spent two summers in Bristol Bay gillnetting sockeye salmon and four summers charter fishing out of Seward. Alaska holds a large place in his heart, solely based on the sheer vastness of fish, wildlife, and landscapes. In the winter, Tommy competes in snowboard races and travels around chasing powder. Other passions include fishing, hunting, back-packing and surfing.
Deckhand Rachel
Rachel grew up in Denver, CO where she and her family often took trips to the mountains, helping to foster her love for the outdoors. Rachel graduated from the University of Oregon, receiving her degree in English. After graduating, Rachel moved around to follow different passions including pastry, yoga, and surfing.
Rachel moved to Seward in 2014 after falling in love with the little mountain town by the sea where she has worked in many different establishments and started her own business doing guided hiking and mountain yoga. Rachel has a home in Seward and fills her time running, hiking, cross country skiing, surfing, and snowboarding. When Rachel isn’t in Seward she is quenching her thirst for travel and on the hunt for new waves to surf!
Captain Laura
Laura was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. Her best childhood memories involve being on and around the ocean. After high school, she joined the Navy and earned a degree in Information Technology from the US Naval Academy. She served a tour in Japan, which whet her appetite for travel and adventure.
After the Navy, she came to Alaska to go commercial fishing for one summer and got hooked! Six seasons later she changed course into the charter industry to share her love of Alaska with others.
Captain Kenneth
From the time he was a young man, Kenneth has been drawn to the ocean. He moved to Alaska when he was 13 after spending the first years of his life on the east coast. He started working on charter boats when he was 15 and has been working on boats ever since!
He spent seven seasons working as a commercial fisherman in Prince William Sound and Bristol Bay, but decided to return to chartering to show other people the beauty of this place.
