Enjoy a 25- to 30-minute guided bus tour along the Tongass Narrows on your way to the marina.
From there you will board a modern fishing boat, and head to the nearby salmon fishing grounds. Keep an eye out for eagles, whales, seals, sea lions or other wildlife.
With only 4-6 guests per boat, you're off for a fine 3½- to 4-hour fishing adventure in the sheltered waters of Clover Passage.
Enjoy Your Catch -- a Seabourn exclusive. Hook a fish on this shore excursion and bring it on board to savor at the dinner table. At no additional charge, your catch is deliciously prepared for you by the Seabourn culinary team at The Restaurant or The Colonnade -- a super-fresh, ocean-to-plate celebration.
Please note: Trolling involves using a downrigger to lower the bait to a specific depth. There are four downriggers, so up to four rods may be fished at once, allowing for fishing at different depths. Fishermen are rotated (instead of assigning rods) so that everyone has a fair chance to catch a fish. The captain may elect to use only two rods if the fish are plentiful. A light snack is provided. Guests who choose to have their fish processed and sent home (to US or Canada addresses only) will need to bring their credit card to pay for processing. A catch is likely but is not guaranteed. Minimum age is 5 years. Dress warmly in layers. Wear a hat or beanie; bring gloves and a scarf. The Alaska Department of Fish & Game implements conservation measures to protect king salmon; restrictions on keeping your catch may apply.
