Perfect for serious fisher-people and for families seeking a personalized tour, this tour is customized for your interest and fishing skill level with just six guests per boat. The light tackle used ensures that even average-sized fish are exciting and rewarding to bring aboard.
At the marina, you're outfitted head to toe. Board an open-air skiff and glide into a breathtaking landscape of secluded locations, ideal for wildlife viewing and remote fishing. With your custom light tackle, you'll experience the thrill of angling for numerous bottom fish species and whichever of the five Pacific salmon species are in season. You'll work as a group to bring fish aboard and provide for the gourmet wilderness meal you're about to enjoy. Salmon, halibut, Dungeness crab, kelp greenling, pelagic rockfish and at least fifty other species are potentially on the menu.
At a wilderness campsite, a crackling fire awaits. You'll settle into the stillness of the rain forest, rest on a beach log, and breathe deeply among centuries-old spruce trees and fragrant cedars. A wilderness dining chef celebrates the group's catch with a meal featuring the fish you just caught. Depending on your catch, you might dine on bottom fish served atop a saffron-infused bouillabaisse or salmon grilled over the fire in true Alaska fashion. Enjoy fire-warmed sourdough rolls, rhubarb-blueberry bread pudding and a steaming mug of coffee or hot chocolate. Whichever of the fifty species you keep for lunch, your five-star gourmet meal is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Your tour concludes with a short walk back to the ship and fish tales to share with friends old and new.
