I arrange and deliver your fish for processing. They will fillet, pack, and ship your fish on a date that you choose so that your fish arrives after your trip. Processing fees are $1.50 per pound and call your local Fed Ex office for shipping costs from 99801 zip code.
No, but I can provide the name of a cab company, make the arrangements for you, or if you are staying in a hotel, a lot of them provide free shuttle service. Auke Bay is only 10 miles from downtown and the cruise ship terminals, so getting to the boat is not a problem.
Alcohol is allowed, but is limited to beer and wine. I have the final say on when someone should quit drinking. I will cut everyone off if it becomes a safety issue such as rough seas. Please drink responsibly especially aboard a boat where the effects of alcohol are increased.
Although my license and my boat can hold more people, I am limited by U.S. Coast Guard Regulations to 6 paying passengers at one time. This includes children and even babies. 6 people is a perfect number for my size boat which leaves plenty of room for everyone.
In 2009, I am going to take private groups only of up to 6 people. When you book with me, you will get the entire 42 ft. Beartrack all to you and your parties self!
Go to the Online Booking link to see the available days and times. You can book directly online or call me toll free at 1-800-586-6945 to book your charter. If I don't answer, please leave your name, cell or other phone number, and the date you want to go out. It also helps if you leave your time zone or city so that I don't call you too late or too early.
Yes, I have many friends in the charter business and am currently president of the Juneau Charter Boat Operator's Association, so I have plenty of contacts. When I arrange another boat, you pay that captain directly. Also, when you book more than one boat, we fish close together and make a fun time out of it, with boat competition, games, etc. We are also in contact by radio and keep updated with each others catch as the day goes along. It is a lot of fun when two or more boats go out together!
Since the Beartrack is a yacht, there is plenty of room both outside and in the heated cabin. Bring plenty of layers that you can take off and put on as the day progresses and the weather changes. I provide raincoats, but if you are going on a trip to Alaska, it is smart to bring your own. You don't need boots, but don't wear your best shoes either, especially if you are halibut fishing. Bring an extra pair of socks too in case your feet get wet.
You will need to bring your own lunch, snacks, and drinks, but I do provide light snacks, soda, and bottled water.
I use top of the line Shakespeare rods and Penn Reels. You do not need to bring any gear or bait, although I have many people that have a secret lure they bring from home and we certainly can help you set that out to see how it works with Alaska fish.
I will guarantee you this: I will give you my best effort and all of my years of experience to catch you fish! The fishing is awesome here and with good luck, everyone will catch fish. Fishing is fishing no matter where you go, and sometimes (not very often thank goodness) the fish just don't bite no matter what you do! My goal on each and every charter is to give you a good time whether the fish are biting or not. Don't forget that fishing charters here in Alaska are also sightseeing charters and we see whales, sea lions, seals, eagles, etc. on nearly every trip out.
