On Time Tours and Charters

On Time Tours and Charters Boat tours and excursions On Time Tours & Charters welcomes you to the 2024 boating season! Meet company owners, Tony and Erin Ewald! Who’s house???
(1)

Tony has been in law enforcement for over 25 years. He recently retired from the Port of Seattle Police Department with 20 years of police diver tenure and 13 years as an active member of their Marine Patrol Unit! He brings enthusiasm, a wealth of on-water patrol experience, and an U.S. Coast Guard Master Captain’s License! Erin can fill your ear with several decades of experience from her maritim

e environmental career background while working in both the conservation and shellfish industries. This fun loving husband and wife team have lived in Gig Harbor for over 25 years, are extensively involved within our amazing community, spent much of that time on the waters as boat enthusiasts, and are eagerly ready to share their love of our amazing waters with YOU! Oh, the stories they have to share with you! You will see a waterfront home within our harbor that was bought for $1.00 (no typo!). You’ll learn about Ralph’s house. Well, come aboard and hear the fun story! The Steve Miller Band…the Rolling Stones…Mathew Lillard…a former criminal enterprise leader…and many more well known entities have direct ties to our beloved Gig Harbor! They share these, and a ton of other historical facts about the area, while keeping it fun and entertaining! Every tour gets you outside the ‘Harbor, where you’ll hopefully get to see some of our regular maritime sights…seals, porpoises, minke whales, bald eagles, herons, and occasionally orca, humpback, and gray whales! We don’t offer whale watching tours, per se, but if seen (which, honestly, isn’t uncommon), we definitely take advantage of the opportunity, keep our required distances, but totally embrace the experience!!! Its one of OUR favorite things to see, too!!! The Tacoma Narrows Bridges make a beautiful backdrop for pictures. If you’re looking for a custom tour, please let us help you plan it! We can create a personal tour of our waters that are of things that intrigue you the most! Celebrating a special occasion??? From real estate waterfront viewings, birthdays, engagement proposals, anniversaries, photography shoots, to the solemn yet joyful celebration of someones life, by the scattering of ashes at sea, we do it all! We are equipped to handle most requests. Our tours and custom charters are limited to a maximum of six passengers (per USCG regulations), plus crew….no exceptions. That being said, we are one of the few local tour/charter boats that are priced per cruise, NOT, per person! Our pride is providing private, custom tours onboard our extremely comfortable new boat, while protecting you from the weather/elements. You never share the boat with anyone outside of your group. We are proud of this niche and think you will enjoy it! We hope to see you onboard soon and are looking forward to creating memories for you on the water!!!

🚨 On Time Tours & Charters DETAINED by Marine Patrol: What happened and why?!

Some may see this as a boarding by a law enforcement boat while on the water. If you know my previous career history, you might see something a bit different…. If you’ve been on Valor with us, you’ll recognize the step (directly next to the police boat’s Captain’s station).

Cops “side-by-side” with their patrol cars every day. We’ve all seen it…wondering what they’re up to.

The fact is, we do this for sharing info, exchanging stories, speed enforcement, staying awake in the field while in the wee hours of the night, and yes…just shooting the $&”;%! as a law enforcement family. We’re a tight group, and are all proud to be a part of it!

Recently, while on a tour of Elliott Bay up in Seattle, we did this with my former police boat and long time marine patrol peers. Side-by-siding on the water!

Hugs were exchanged, passengers were given a personal tour of the police boat, and old stories were shared by all! Insight of a career in marine patrol in the Seattle area and historical information of the Seattle waterfront was proudly passed and loved by our guests!

Was this part of an ordinary tour…no. Was this a customized cruise from Gig Harbor…yep! Was this something that made memories for a few kiddos and guests….ABSOLUTELY!

On Time Tour & Charters takes pride in trying to make memories for each and every one of our guests! Today we did just that, in a slightly non-traditional way via a means that not many have access to. We love showcasing our area and have much more to share that’s not typically given on other boat excursions. Come join us!!!

Fun stuff is in the works…..
