Project Arctic Fjord Begins


Arctic Fjord in Bar Harbor, Ketchikan, December 2011


In late 2011, we purchased the 58 foot Carri-Craft, Arctic Fjord,  to be transformed into a floating office and outfitting center for Southeast Sea Kayaks. The Arctic Fjord was used here in Ketchikan as a harbor tour boat but has sat at the dock for the past five years. Our first job was to pressure wash the outside and tune up the twin John Deere engines. Now the fun can really begin. The Carri-Craft Catamarans were originally built as catamaran cruisers (or houseboats) but as a tour boat the Arctic Fjord was outfitted with booth seating, a head and a galley. The photos below show how the interior looks before work begins.
