Enjoy an elevated fishing trip onboard a large cabin cruiser with personalized service from your experienced fishing guide and deckhand. Ranging in size from 32 to 38 feet in length, your boat will offer plenty of room to walk around, and amenities include a large fishing deck, spacious salon with comfortable seating area, full galley, private flushing head, and hand-washing sink.
Troll for salmon and test your sportfishing skills in the calm, protected waters of the Inside Passage for 3 to 4 hours. Your expert fishing guide knows how to lure the salmon to your line, and the deckhand will attend to your needs and serve snacks and beverages, fruit, cookies, pastries, chips, bottled water, sodas, cocoa, coffee and tea.
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: Minimum age is 8 years. 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. Boats will carry four to six guests. The captain may elect to use only two rods if the fish are plentiful. 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 8 years; maximum weight is 350 lbs. Dress warmly in layers with a hat and rubber-soled shoes. Enjoy Your Catch -- a Seabourn exclusive.
