Juneau Harve & Marve 6 or 14 person boat?

[nu2crusin]

Any experience share for the 14 passenger boat for whale watch trip? I'm guessing it's a newer option since they don't have a pic of it and most reviews are for the 6 passenger trips. We are a group of 5. The idea of larger boat is appealing for piece of mind if seas are rougher (for motion sickness). It's $20 pp less for the larger. What did you think?

nu2crusin,

 

Did Harv and Marv last year on the bigger boat. It was a catamaran type vessel with good viewing windows and some open deck space. They cancelled the smaller boats due to rough seas the day we were there and condensed everyone on the larger boat. I had not been particularly prone to sea sickness prior to this excursion but surely did get sick on this one. I suggest you medicate prior to this excursion if you even think you may be ill. Having said all that, I would go again in a minute. We saw many, many breaching mamas and babies very close to the boat. One mama swam directly under the boat and came up on the opposite side next to the boat. We could have reached out and touched her...if we had not been so surprised and amazed.

Can anyone make a recommendation between Harv and Marv on a larger boat, or the Scania with Adventures in Alaska? I am really second guessing myself here!

So excited to read this, we are booked for the larger boat this June! Hope it

is as amazing as your trip was.

"some open deck space" makes it sound limited???

What was the seating like?

We are booked on the Scania, and hoping we get the son-in-law onboard.

Just not sure about considering the Harv and Marv larger boat.

(The smaller ones seem just too small to me.)

The Scania is rated for 12 passengers, but says the Captain only books 8.

Any pictures of the different boats to compare size?
