A LETTER FROM DAN
Dear Fellow Adventurers,
As a boy growing up in Mukilteo, Washington, along the shores of Puget Sound, no school bell could ring loud enough to keep me from exploring our wild coastline. When whales were spotted off the Mukilteo Lighthouse, the entire grade school I attended was allowed to depart the school and walk to the park where we marveled at the whales going by the point. Afternoons and summers were URGPVEQODKPIVJGVKFCNƃCVUKPJCNKPIVJGUCNVCKTCPF NKUVGPKPIVQUVQTKGUURWPD[DQCVGTUCPFƂUJGTOGPYJQ had ventured far from the Sound. This early education, so different from my formal schooling, sparked a boundless curiosity about the wonders beyond my hometown. As I grew older, that curiosity led me north to Alaska. I discovered that if more people could experience these wild places the way I did—up close, in small communities, guided by nature’s rhythms—they’d come to care for them as deeply as I do. In 1996, this vision took shape with a 12-guest yacht that spent the summer sailing to and from Alaska. We YGTGUOCNNDWVQWTCODKVKQPYCUPQV4GFGƂPKPIYJCV “cruise” meant became the cornerstone of our identity. It felt natural to our close-knit team, who believed in three things: personal connections, sustainable travel, and genuine immersion in every destination we explored. Today, as UnCruise Adventures, we’re proud to say our reach extends well beyond Alaska (to Costa Rica, Hawai‘i, the Galápagos, and Baja California, Mexico) all while keeping alive that same spark I felt back on Puget Sound.
As we celebrate three decades, my heartfelt thanks goes to everyone who has joined us on the water: • Our guests who trust us with their adventures, returning voyage after voyage and igniting the spirit of travel in others. • Our local partners —the guides, farmers, and community leaders—who welcome us and teach us to tread gently and give back. • Our dedicated crews , from captains and chefs to stewards and guides, who pour their expertise and passion into every trip. We promise to continue pushing the boundaries of authentic adventure, always putting conservation and community at the heart of what we do, and inviting you into our next chapter—wherever the tides lead.
With gratitude and excitement,
Dan Blanchard Captain Dan Blanchard Owner & CEO, UnCruise Adventures

With UnCruise Adventures, every journey feels like a backstage pass to the best of nature, authentic connections, open spaces and intimate, crowd-free adventure. The moment you step on board your journey is curated; no two sailings are ever alike.

These shared experiences with other passionate travelers lead to friendships that last a lifetime.
