Whether you're a skilled fisherman or a family looking for fun, this great fishing outing is customized for your interest and level with just six guests per boat. The light tackle used ensures an exciting and rewarding effort to bring your catch aboard.
To start your fishing adventure, gear up at the marina and board an open-air skiff. You'll glide into a breathtaking landscape of secluded locations, ideal for wildlife viewing and remote fishing. Spend the morning angling for numerous bottom fish species and whichever of the five Pacific salmon species are in season. Team effort brings your fish aboard. This is how you'll 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 today.
After catching the fish of the day, the skiff heads back to shore and you'll relax around a crackling fire in a pretty wilderness location. Settle into the stillness of the rainforest among centuries-old spruce trees and fragrant cedars. A wilderness dining chef artfully cooks up your catch for lunch. Perhaps you will dine on bottom fish served atop a saffron-infused bouillabaisse or tasty salmon grilled over the fire in a method inspired by Alaska Native cuisine. Enjoy fire-warmed sourdough rolls, rhubarb-blueberry bread pudding and a steaming mug of coffee or hot chocolate. The five-star gourmet meal you've contributed to is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Return to the ship equipped with brilliant fish tales after a happy day.
