Alex Trokey - USCG Licensed Operator of Uninspected Passenger Vessels

My name is Alex I’ve been a resident of Alaska since 2017. Since moving up here I’ve built custom aluminum boats in Homer, commercial fished for salmon in Prince William Sound, and most recently spent the last five years as the captain and co-owner of the M/V Eroica, an offshore gold mining vessel in Nome.

My wife Emily (who captained the M/V Eroica from 2013-2022) and I decided to start this business back when we saw the potential of Nome’s offshore activities and the lack of any six-pack captained charter options for visitors and locals operating in Norton Sound.

We aspire to be pioneers in opening up this unique stretch of Northwest Alaskan coastline to those who wish to explore it - so you can experience the wonders of the Bering Sea as we have for the last 15 years.
