Boat tours and excursions On Time Tours & Charters welcomes you to the 2024 boating season! Meet company owners, Tony and Erin Ewald! Who’s house???
(49)

Tony has been in law enforcement for over 25 years. He recently retired from the Port of Seattle Police Department with 20 years of police diver tenure and 13 years as an active member of their Marine Patrol Unit! He brings enthusiasm, a wealth of on-water patrol experience, and an U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain’s License! Erin can fill your ear with several decades of experience from her maritim

e environmental career background while working in both the conservation and shellfish industries. This fun loving husband and wife team have lived in Gig Harbor for over 25 years, are extensively involved within our amazing community, spent much of that time on the waters as boat enthusiasts, and are eagerly ready to share their love of our amazing waters with YOU! Oh, the stories they have to share with you! You will see a waterfront home within our harbor that was bought for $1.00 (no typo!). You’ll learn about Ralph’s house. Well, come aboard and hear the fun story! The Steve Miller Band…the Rolling Stones…Mathew Lillard…a former criminal enterprise leader…and many more well known entities have direct ties to our beloved Gig Harbor! They share these, and a ton of other historical facts about the area, while keeping it fun and entertaining! Every tour gets you outside the ‘Harbor, where you’ll hopefully get to see some of our regular maritime sights…seals, porpoises, minke whales, bald eagles, herons, and occasionally orca, humpback, and gray whales! We don’t offer whale watching tours, per se, but if seen (which, honestly, isn’t uncommon), we definitely take advantage of the opportunity, keep our required distances, but totally embrace the experience!!! Its one of OUR favorite things to see, too!!! The Tacoma Narrows Bridges make a beautiful backdrop for pictures. If you’re looking for a custom tour, please let us help you plan it! We can create a personal tour of our waters that are of things that intrigue you the most! Celebrating a special occasion??? From real estate waterfront viewings, birthdays, engagement proposals, anniversaries, photography shoots, to the solemn yet joyful celebration of someones life, by the scattering of ashes at sea, we do it all! We are equipped to handle most requests. Our tours and custom charters are limited to a maximum of six passengers (per USCG regulations), plus crew….no exceptions. That being said, we are one of the few local tour/charter boats that are priced per cruise, NOT, per person! Our pride is providing private, custom tours onboard our extremely comfortable new boat, while protecting you from the weather/elements. You never share the boat with anyone outside of your group. We are proud of this niche and think you will enjoy it! We hope to see you onboard soon and are looking forward to creating memories for you on the water!!!

It’s been an AMAZING last few weeks! Our guests have been loving the new boat, Valor got safety inspected of all systems and required equipment/paperwork (with a perfect score!), we were absolutely honored to have Gig Harbor’s Mayor aboard for a quick interview showcasing our business, and Valor had her first (and most important) new engine services done right on schedule!

SOOOOO….. we are safe, we have been scrutinized, we are mechanically sound (no surprise on our end as she’s brand new), and most importantly, we are ready to kick off this boating season to share our amazing area with YOU! Give us a call today! Dates are filling up quickly. —Capt. Tony

P.S. - The Mayor’s podcast that was recorded along with Gig Harbor PD’s Marine Unit will be released soon, and definitely shared once live!

Stunning water at the point with the seals!

The seals are now molting. They will all have a shiny new coat for the next boating season!

Nothing like being in the right place at the right time. This little seal loves sliding down the rock before bedtime!

Yesterday we were blessed to be a part of this couples engagement. We dropped them at the Lighthouse. As they walked around there was the sign (previously put up) and he dropped to his knees . . . She said “YES!”
