Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do I need experience?

    No experience necessary! We teach beginners and help experienced anglers and hunters refine their techniques for Alaska species.

  • What's the weather like?

    Southeast Alaska weather varies greatly. Summer temperatures range 50-70°F. Rain is common. We provide rain gear, but bring layers.

  • Can I bring my own gear?

    Absolutely! Many guests bring favorite rods or rifles. We have quality gear available but understand the comfort of your own equipment.

  • What about fishing/hunting licenses?

    Purchase online at adfg.alaska.gov before arrival. We'll help you determine exactly what you need.

  • Can we customize our trip?

    Yes! While we have set packages, we're happy to adjust based on your interests, seasons, and group preferences.

  • What if weather is bad?

    We fish and hunt in most weather. The yacht provides shelter, and we know protected spots. Very rarely do we lose whole days to weather.

  • Is seasickness a problem?

    Our 82-foot yacht is very stable. We also choose protected waters when possible. Bring medication if you're prone to seasickness.

  • How much fish/game can I take home?

    Alaska residents can take 50 pounds of processed fish. Non-residents have no limit. Most guests leave with 40-100 pounds of fish.

  • Is this family-friendly?

    Yes, with limitations. Children 12+ who can handle outdoor activities are welcome. This is an active adventure, not a cruise.

  • What's your success rate?

    Fishing success is nearly 100% for something, 90%+ for target species in season. Hunting varies more but deer hunters typically have 80%+ success, bears 60%+.

  • When should we book?

    ASAP. We only take one group at a time. Prime dates (July-September) book 6-12 months in advance.
