Giving a Rip:
The Ultimate Business Model

Protecting Our Clients

1:6 expert to rookie otter ratio insures that a close eye is kept on personal safety. And our wisdom is handed down, not our equipment. The result: 15 accident-free years (well, except for that time Mike dropped chai tea on his lap).

Protecting Our Community

We believe that making small decisions correctly can change the world. That's why we're commited to supporting local business through our purchases, including buying much of our fresh produce from small, local farms.

Protecting Our Environment

We leave our campsites as clean as we find them, embracing the Leave No Trace principle at all times—both on and off the water. We follow strict rules when we encounter wildlife, especially when it comes to respecting whales.

Zero Water Rage

Overcrowding by whale watchers has led to an 18% decline in the local Orca population since 1995, which is why we prefer to let nature take its course. This doesn't mean we never see whales. Instead of hunting them down, we prefer to enjoy them on their terms. Best of all, the only thing you'll be flipped is a friendly tail.
