About
Us
Jensen’s Boat Rentals was built right here in Petersburg, Alaska—by people who live, work, and fish in these waters. What started as a few skiffs and a lot of local know-how has grown into a trusted service for independent travelers, cabin-goers, and serious fishermen alike.
We know these tides, these channels, and what it takes to have a good—and safe—trip out there. We’re proud to share that experience with you. Whether you're a returning customer or it’s your first time out, we’ll treat you like a neighbor and make sure you're set up right.
This isn’t a big operation with automated booking and hands-off service. It’s just us—local folks helping you get on the water with reliable boats and honest support.
