This season we sail with the crew of the Coastal Trader as they cross the stormy North Pacific to deliver cargo to Western Alaska. Each episode covers a different leg of the voyage. Crew members describe their jobs in their own words. No manufactured drama. Just life at sea as it truly is.

Coastal Trader (one of five boats belonging to Coastal Transportation Inc.) keeps the Bering Sea fishing fleet and remote towns supplied with food, equipment and supplies, and returns to Seattle carrying the world's best seafood products.
