Enjoy a 25- to 30-minute panoramic drive by coach along the Tongass Narrows on your way to the marina.
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 3.5- to four-hour fishing adventure in the sheltered waters of Clover Passage.
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) must bring their credit card to pay for processing. A catch is likely but is not guaranteed. Minimum age is 5 years. Dress warmly in layered clothing with gloves, a scarf, and a hat; outer layer should be windproof and waterproof. 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. Although this tour is included in the Enjoy My Catch program; there is no guarantee that your catch will meet the required food safety standards (temperature, condition, color, etc) upon delivery to the ship; the ship's food preparation staff will assess your catch's suitability. The Alaska Department of Fish & Game implements conservation measures to protect king salmon; restrictions on keeping your catch may apply. Please check directly with the Alaska Department of Fish & Game for restrictions specific to your tour date. Only fish species that do not have restrictions in place can be shipped home or delivered to the ship for Enjoy Your Catch. A fishing license is required by the State of Alaska and should be purchased in advance of your tour. Children aged 15 years and younger are not required to purchase a license.
