A skiff is an open boat that is propelled by an outboard motor. A skiff is a modern cousin to Vancouver's longboat or the Native Alaskan oceangoing canoe. We operate 20 ft. Raider skiffs equipped with Honda 90 HP outboard motors.

We like to ensure that all guests are as comfortable as possible when joining us for their fishing adventure. Therefore, we limit guests to 6 in each skiff, but the average is 4 or 5.

This trip is conducted on 24’ aluminum skiffs equipped with 175 horsepower
outboards. Each guest sits in their own bucket seat. These seats absorb wave
impacts, can spin to face any direction, enabling fishing comfortably from a seated
position. All our boats are custom-built by Raider Boats in Colville WA.

Each guest is provided with Helly Hansen waterproof rain pants, a raincoat, a warm wool hat, wool socks, rubber boots, and gloves. You will be prepared for any weather (and you'll definitely want to have someone take a photo of you dressed in true Alaskan fashion!). We are proud to feature Penn rods on our excursions and a selection of rods that varies depending on the species of fish we are pursuing.

If you have any food allergies, please inform us at checkout. There is no shellfish included in the meal.

We have been operating fishing tours for ten years, and we rarely have passengers that have to deal with seasickness, even those who are prone to motion sickness are comfortable on our boats. The boats which we operate have a low center of gravity, eliminating the rolling motion that usually generates a queasy stomach. However, if you do get sick there will be no extra charge.

In order to fish, the State of Alaska requires you to purchase a one-day Alaska fishing license. The cost of a non-resident 1-day fishing license is $15.00.
