Alaskan Adventure Tours is proud to present the new high-speed 35’ Packcat the M/V Sound Adventure. Munson Boat Building Company in Mount Vernon, Washington built the Sound Adventure.

To power the vessels electrical equipment a Prosine Inverter is utilized to converts 12volt into 110 power. The cabin is cleanly and efficiently heated by a Laser 30 Toyo Stove.


The vessel has a settee that seats 4 comfortably as well as seating for 8. The vessel also is equipped with six wide bunks for using the boat as a spike camp and being comfortable overnight while away from the 60’ base camp, Alaskan Adventure.



The Sound Adventure is equipped with 10 mustang survival suits, 10 Type 1 Life Jackets, and has an onboard, handheld US Coast Guard Approved EPIRB.


“Bill Munson has done an excellent job building the ultimate high-speed aluminum catamaran transport/hunting vessel for Alaskan Adventure Tours. The workmanship on this boat is second to none. With over 25 years of operating boats in the unpredictable waters of Alaska, this is the safest most comfortable auxiliary vessel that I ever had the pleasure to operate.” --Captain/Registered Guide Darren Byler
