Self-guided packages let you fish and explore at your own pace and come and go as you please. The protected waters of the inside passage provide the perfect opportunity for the do-it-yourselfer to safely pilot a boat and fish for king salmon, silvers, pinks, chum, halibut and rockfish. To further enhance your experience our 21-23′ boats are equipped with GPS chart plotters, fish finders and VHF radios so you can safely find your way while you’re fishing and sightseeing. We provide an orientation with helpful instruction on operating and fishing your boat safely and effectively. If you are new to fishing this area, we recommend your first day guided on the water.
