Licenses, travel, gear, and how we run our trips — the essentials for planning your Alaska adventure.
A quick orientation so you show up ready for Southeast Alaska.
Fly into Sitka on Alaska Airlines. Weather delays happen, so we suggest arriving the day before your trip. If you overnight in town, the Westmark Hotel offers a free shuttle.
Alaska fishing and hunting licenses and tags are the guest's responsibility, purchased from the Alaska Department of Fish & Game. Non-resident hunting license is $160; deer tags are $300 each. Buy online or at Orion's Sporting Goods in Sitka.
All meals are cooked aboard, and Starlink keeps you as connected as you want to be. Rods, reels, tackle, bait, crab and shrimp pots, kayaks, and a skiff are all provided.
Not seeing your question? Call the boat — we'd rather talk it through.
