| Harv and Marv's Outback Alaska Company Van |
| How they came up with the business name - Harv and Marv's Outback Alaska Pete and Jay have been friends since junior high school (1970's). One day after Pete watched a movie which the only sane character was Harv. He started calling Jay, Harv. Jay getting a little tired of this, replied by calling Pete, Harv or Marv. They have called each other Harv and Marv for over twenty five years now. We switch names every year, Pete is Harv this year, next year he will be Marv! |
"Harv and Marvs Outback Alaska"
A Business profile
Introduction:
Long time friends Captains Jay Beedle and Pete Nelson bring together 60 years of combined experience on the waters
and in the forest of Southeast Alaska to offer the most personal and memorable experience available. These two
residents of Juneau have grown up on the waters of Alaska and have both earned a living in and around this
environment. To their operation they bring experience as commercial fisherman, tour operators, charter fisherman,
divers, surveyors, patrol vessel captain and pilots. They have an unprecedented amount of local knowledge and
untold experiences to share with those lucky enough to join them on one of their tours.
Business philosophy:
Jay and Pete’s business philosophy has steered them away from a large passenger operation in favor of a smaller
more personal experience. They are dedicated to this approach as it allows them to completely customize each and
every trip to suit the interest of their clients. They thoroughly enjoy this approach as it allows them to get to know and
personally engage each passenger, thus providing an up close and personal experience for visitors. The smaller
operation also awards them the luxury of operating smaller more efficient vessels that produce less of an impact on the
environment. A trip with Harv and Marvs Outback Alaska provides each passenger a glimpse and adventure into
Southeast Alaska’s wilderness, and its wildlife guided by knowledgeable and experienced local guides that call Alaska
their home and playground
Tours:
Joining USCG licensed captains Jay and Pete on any one of their customizable tours is an adventure beyond the
crowds and into the outback of Alaska. These local guides/captains have logged more hours on the water than most
people do in their cars. From Whale watching, salmon fishing, viewing wildlife like, humpback whales, killer whales, sea
lions to bald eagles they pride themselves in offering a personal trip, which remains flexible to ensure that their tours
meet and exceed the expectations of their guests.
Summary:
Jay and Pete are quick to point out that they did not enter this business to get rich, but did so to work in the
environment that they love, to share their love of Alaska with others, and to provide tours in a responsible and
environmentally friendly manner. By sticking to their philosophy of catering to only small groups, they can offer their
guests the most up-close and personal Southeast Alaska experience available. This experience is heightened by their
knowledge, enthusiasm and experiences of living and knowing Alaska. They feel that they have brought together the
elements in a company that will give each one of their customers an in-depth view of SE Alaska’s wilderness and
wildlife in a low impact approach. One in which the visitor will take away a whole different view and appreciation for
Alaska’s Outback and its residents.
