Enjoy a 25- to 30-minute guided bus tour along the Tongass Narrows on your way to the marina.
From there, you will board a modern fishing boat and head to the nearby salmon fishing grounds. Keep an eye out for eagles, whales, seals, sea lions or other wildlife.
With only 4-6 guests per boat, you're off for a fine 3 hour fishing adventure in the sheltered waters of Clover Passage.
Catch a fish? Now enjoy every bite, perfectly prepared by an expert chef and served on board the ship. The Savour My Catch program is a true ocean-to-fork experience and is available with this fishing adventure.
Notes:
Trolling involves using a downrigger to lower the bait to a specific depth. There are four downriggers, so up to four rods may be fished at once, allowing for fishing at different depths. Fishermen are rotated (instead of assigning rods) so that everyone has a fair chance to catch a fish. The captain may elect to use only two rods if the fish are plentiful. A light snack is provided. Minimum age is 5 years. Dress warmly in layers with a wind- and waterproof outer layer; bring gloves, a scarf and a warm hat. Guests who choose to have their fish processed and sent home (to US only) will need to bring their credit card to pay for processing. A catch is likely but is not guaranteed. Although this tour is included in the Savour My Catch program; there is no guarantee that your catch will meet the required food safety standards (temperature, condition, color, etc) upon delivery to the ship; the ship's food preparation staff will assess your catch's suitability. The Alaska Department of Fish & Game implements conservation measures to protect king salmon; restrictions on keeping your catch may apply. Please check directly with the Alaska Department of Fish & Game for restrictions specific to your tour date. Only fish species that do not have restrictions in place can be shipped home or delivered to the ship for Savour My Catch.
