About · Sitka, Alaska

Locally owned. Wildly Alaskan.

Founded by a passionate local, we share Southeast Alaska the way we know it — with years of expertise and a deep love for this country.

01 The Story

We invite you to experience the breathtaking beauty of Alaska through the eyes of seasoned adventurers — with a deep love for the land and the water it sits beside.

02 The Crew

A licensed captain and a local crew.

Every trip runs with a licensed USCG captain and a local deckhand who doubles as your chef. We cater to all skill levels — from first-time hunters to lifelong anglers — and we keep the operation small so every trip stays personal and private.

03 How We Run

Private trips, done right.

A few things we hold to on every trip.

01

Every skill level

Experienced angler or first-time hunter — we tailor the trip to your group and make sure everyone has a shot at the adventure they came for.

02

Whole boat, always

Your party has the vessel to itself. We don't mix groups, and we never combine hunting and fishing parties.

03

Comfort in wild country

Warm staterooms, home-cooked meals, and Starlink — the thrill of Alaska without giving up the comforts of home.
