Welcome to the fleet, Ocean Discovery!

When you think Kodiak Water Taxi & Transport, you probably think about logistics, freight, and getting down to business – and you’d be right. With years of experience on Kodiak Island, we offer safe, reliable, and efficient transportation and logistical support for film crews, marine research groups, environmental response teams, and more. 

But this summer we are excited to announce the addition of the Ocean Discovery, the newest ship to our fleet! And the Ocean Discovery is more than another vessel – it’s the start of a new adventure with Kodiak Water Taxi & Transport. 

The Ocean Discovery, part of our Kodiak Discovery Tours fleet, offers the ultimate in adventure, with plenty of space for a large group, fantastic viewing areas, top-of-the-line interiors, and a setup designed for enjoying life on the water. This 75x28 foot aluminum catamaran redefines great group transport, with exciting, comfortable rides every time.

The Ocean Discovery has water-level swim step access and dock-to-dock operations, ready for exciting journeys with easy access and all the comforts you want in a luxe day around Kodiak Island. It’s not a landing craft like our other vessels, but it can connect to a skiff when needed. In short, it’s ready for action at 20 knots! 

If you’re planning a large group transport, the Ocean Discovery provides more space (less crowding for the win), both inside and out. And of course, as with all trips with Kodiak Water Taxi & Transport, you’ll be on the water with a captain and crew that boast a combined 50 years of local expertise. Trips with this top Kodiak transport company always lead with safety, offering peace of mind.
