Serenity Adventure Charters

Captain/Owner Kenneth B Jones is a third-generation, Alaskan born and raised, hunter and fisherman. Growing up on the waters of Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska, Ken has decades of experience in the sound.



At the age of 16, Ken followed in his fathers and grandfathers footsteps by becoming a captain and vessel owner, purchasing his first commercial fishing vessel, the 42 foot F/V Sam-an-I. Two years later, just after graduating high school, Ken purchased another vessel, the 27 foot F/V Silver Mist.



Ken then went on to earn his 100 ton masters license, and private pilots license in Anchorage, before returning home to Cordova. Fishing the Samani and Silver Mist went well and Ken soon decided to make an upgrade to a newer vessel, selling the Silver mist and purchasing the twin jet drive powered F/V Second Wind. This was a major upgrade and after a few more good fishing seasons, it was time to look at upgrading his larger vessel. After two years of searching the used boat market and becoming frustrated after three different vessel transactions fell through, Ken started looking at shipyards to build him his dream boat, the F/V Serenity.

​

Finally choosing to go with Little Hoqiuam Shipyard, the boat building shop owned by the renowned Howard Moe. Ken approved his plans, made a few customizations, and construction was started. It took 13 months from start to finish, but finally in December of 2014, the Serenity was launched. On sea trial she exceeded expectations, and during her first commercial fishing season in 2015, she proved an even more capable vessel than Ken ever imagined.
