Randy Burke
Owner and Director of Bluewater Adventures

Since 1974, Bluewater has pioneered quality wilderness and wildlife eco-adventures. The tours raise the profile of wildlife cruising in British Columbia and Alaska and Bluewater continues to build on its eco-initiatives. At age 27, Randy bought Bluewater from Dan Culver and started on his journey with the company. A Skipper by nature, Randy has taken thousands of guests on memorable adventures along the BC and Alaska Coastline. He has sailed around the Pacific on Tall ships and had some amazing experiences worldwide. When he is not in the office or skippering trips, Randy enjoys spending time with his wife Cathy and his daughters Anna and Heather.

If you are looking for something more off the beaten path and are up for an adventure, Bluewater offers the trip of a lifetime! Aboard each trip is a Resource Guide with qualifications in biology, education, zoology, anthropology or ornithology. Our guides are not only experts in their field, but truly enjoy communicating their enthusiasm to others. Down below in the salon, our wonderful cooks serve gourmet meals and beautiful buffets.
