Here, you will have a worthwhile experience — a truly enjoyable vacation — as you go wilderness fishing while cruising through some of the most stunning scenery in the world.

You live in the tugboat with fully equipped, self-guided 18 foot fishing skiffs. Enjoy absolute freedom, without anyone telling you you when to fish, explore or relax.

You have as your companion, an experienced fish guide who shares his time with all guests and is always available on the fishing grounds.

Majestic fjords with calm water, velvet forests, waterfalls and picturesque anchorages are all around you –  the nature lovers’ paradise. If you get tired of cruising — although it is doubtful you will — you’ll enjoy other activities ashore such as clam digging, crabbing a beach BBQ or exploring the beautiful surroundings on your own, viewing wildlife that includes bears, wolves and whales.
