The “Double Eagle” is now permanently docked on 10 acres overlooking the Homer Spit, Kachemak Bay and Mt. Augustine volcano. The view from any one of its three decks is a living picture that you will want to etch in your memory. Eagles, sea gulls and ravens frequently cruise past the ship on the thermals.

Accommodations include:

  • 2 private bedrooms
  • Living room with foldout sleeper sofa
  • Kitchen
  • 2 and ½ bathrooms
  • Three decks
  • Wireless Internet Access

The “Double Eagle” was originally built as a Gulf Coast Tour / Cruise boat, but was converted to a Gulf Coast Shrimper. On March 24, 1989, the tanker Exxon Valdez grounded on Bligh Reef in the upper part of Prince William Sound. The tanker was carrying approximately 53 million gallons of crude oil. Within a few days, it had spilled almost 11 million gallons of the oil into Prince William Sound. It was then that the “Double Eagle” was brought to Alaska to work and serve as a crew quarters during the cleanup.

Alaska Adventure Cabins began the restoration in the Fall of 2001 and completed the restoration / renovation on August 4th, 2002. Restoration included a custom trailer / foundation and required the top two decks to be removed so the load would clear overhead utility lines. Tolloff Crane Service of Nikiski reset the top two decks onto the hull in May of 2002.

The "Moose Caboose" was built by the Pullman Company in Chicago in 1944 as a rail car in which to house and move troops during WW II. Alaska Adventure Cabins began the conversion to a one bedroom, one bath, full kitchen, and living room luxury cabin in the summer of 2002. The conversion was completed in the winter of 2002.

The conversion included the complete sandblasting and repainting of the exterior which was painted to match the Alaskan Railroad colors of blue and yellow. Large picture windows and a large deck were installed on the ocean view side. From the private deck you can see glaciers, volcanoes, Kachemak Bay and the Homer Spit. A large greenhouse is located outside where flowers and plants are grown to beautify the Alaska Adventure Cabins.
