All passengers and crew were safely evacuated after the 'Alaskan Dream' ran aground north of Sitka Saturay in the morning of June 30, 2018. It got stuck on a shallow beach in Olga Strait, about 12 miles northeast of Sitka and came partially out of the water on the beach, resting upright on its twin catamaran hulls. The Allen Marine tour vessel 'St. Eugene' came to the aid of the 'Alaskan Dream', taking off its 43 passengers and 10 crew. All were transferred to Allen Marine’s dock in Jamestown Bay. The Coast Guard cutter 'Anacapa' stood by while passengers were transferred. No injuries or other medical concerns were reported. The 'Anacapa' remained on station through the turn of the tide to make sure there were no stability problems with the 'Alaskan Dream' as it was refloated.
