Question 1

How do I get to Sitka?

Accepted Answer

Alaska Airlines and Delta offer daily flights to and from Seattle.

Question 2

What kind of boat do you have?

Accepted Answer

We have a 35 foot Bertram that has been highly modified. It is a custom built full walk around deep v planing boat that was stripped down all the way to the bare hull and rebuilt in exactly the way we needed it to be the best charter fishing platform in the Pacific Northwest. It has twin inboard diesel engines for reliability. The boat also has dry exhaust that exits the boat 15 feet above the waterline so you will never smell diesel exhaust. It has a very warm, bright, and comfortable cabin that seats 6 comfortably. There is a very large V-Birth where relaxed anglers can take a nap in between fishing spots. It also has a comfortable on deck fully enclosed sit down head with shower.

Most hotels also have freezer space in the Seattle area, be sure to check ahead for availability and space.

Southeast Alaskan weather is highly unpredictable and it changes rapidly. Plan on bringing layered clothing that is loose fitting to accommodate multiple layers.
