Basic Itinerary
Joining the Adventurous and her crew our guests find themselves not only
on a sport fishing and sightseeing trip, but taking part in an experience
that is interactive, and ever changing. Alaska's inside passage is the
largest protected waterway on earth and the diversity of trips vary greatly
week to week and year to year depending on customer anticipation, weather
and time of year.
Each cruise is customized for you, so there is no set itinerary.
After you and your guests arrive on board, we will sit down with
you and talk about your options, and what
you would like to do.
A basic itinerary of what a charter cruise
aboard the Adventurous is similar to
- Most guests joining the Adventurous arrive in Sitka via Alaska
Airlines/Seattle the Saturday before their trip. All guests
will be met at the Airport in Sitka by an Adventurous crew person
and transferred to a local Hotel. The first night in Sitka will
allow our guests time to rest, dine and tour Sitka before their
cruise begins.
- Sunday morning our guests will be met and transferred
to the Adventurous where they will be introduced to the rest
of the crew, the Adventurous, and enjoy a hot breakfast.
- Once
breakfast is complete it's time to get underway. After a
short cruise through the picturesque Sitka harbor, the adventure
begins. Leaving Sitka behind, the first morning will normally
take us through winding channels to nearby fishing grounds.
Here we will have the chance to wet a line and enjoy the beauty
Southeast Alaska.
- With the first fish landed and photos taken by late
afternoon of the first day, our guests will find us navigating
through the islands and passages of Southeast Alaska. The afternoon
and evening will be occupied by setting the first string of shrimp
gear and/or crab pots. With the "gear" in
the water it's off to one of a thousand secluded anchorages,
to enjoy a fabulous meal and go over the experiences of the
day and think about tomorrow's options.
- It's up early
for a fresh breakfast and time to get on with the days
activities. First it's time to check the shrimp or crab
gear. Using the on-board hydraulic puller makes it easy, as Alaska's
delicious cold-water shrimp and crab come aboard. promising
another sensational dinner.
- Once the gear is stored, we pull the anchor and get underway,
to fish and sightsee our way through Southeast
Alaska. You will find yourself eager to see whats next,
or even the possibility of landing a monster King or Halibut,
or maybe catching a glance at an uninterested Brown Bear feeding
at the mouth of a stream.
- Each evening finds the Adventurous
in a different remote anchorage where the mountains
meet the sky and the wilds of Alaska are just outside the
window as we sit down for another sensational dinner. Dinner
conversation may include what tomorrow could bring. Without a
set itinerary and endless possibilities each day could include
many different activities such as: stream fishing, saltwater
fishing, cruising, beach combing, whale watching, and the choices
goes on.
- Southeast
Alaska is a playground for outdoorsman, fisherman,
and those that simply enjoy the beauty of nature and wildlife.
The professional crew of the Adventurous will assist our guests
in utilizing not only the Adventurous, but also their knowledge
of Southeast Alaska, to ensure that each day exceeds the expectations
of our guests.
- The fifth day is always enjoyable, but slightly
sad as we fish, cruise, and sightsee our way back
to port and
arrive in late afternoon at our starting point,
the Sitka marina. Reflecting on a great week we will enjoy another
delicious meal with the Adventurous safely moored in the harbor
and our guests will stay onboard for their
final night in Alaska.
- Friday
morning is always busy as our guests pack up,
the crew boxes and prepares the weeks catch for the trip home.
With bags packed and the seafood boxed, all guests will
be transferred to the airport by Adventurous crew members to
meet their flights home.
