We provide a highly customizable, long range adventure of fresh and saltwater angling, scenic hiking, kayaking, and just about anything outdoors! 

Most guests joining the Takeena arrive in Sitka via Alaska Airlines/Seattle the Saturday before their trip. All guests will be met at the airport in Sitka by a Takeena crew person and transported to the vessel at rest in the Sitka Harbor. The first night in Sitka will allow our guests time to rest, dine and tour Sitka before their cruise begins. We provided a vehicle for you to get around town on the first evening.

Sunday morning we depart early for our excursion. Many of our guests will awaken to the sights of a beautiful morning dawning, miles from town!

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 of 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. 

Monday morning, it’s up early for a fresh breakfast and time to get on with the day’s activities. First it's time to check the shrimp or crab gear. Using the onboard 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 hoist anchor and get underway, to fish and sightsee our way through other parts of Southeast Alaska. You will find yourself eager to see what is next, 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. All these sights are extremely realistic. We can't reiterate enough that a quality digital camera is recommended. 

Each evening finds the Takeena 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 great dinner. 

The dinner conversation will undoubtedly 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 Takeena will assist our guests in utilizing not only the Takeena, 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 morning at our starting point, the Sitka marina. Reflecting on a great week we will enjoy another delicious meal with the Takeena safely moored in the harbor and our guests will prepare for departure to their homes with a precious cargo of delicious, fresh seafood and remarkable memories of the adventure. Friday morning is always busy as our guests pack up and the crew boxes and prepares the week’s catch for the trip home. With bags packed and the seafood boxed, all guests will be transferred to the airport by Takeena crew members to meet their flights home.
