Useful Apps
Navionics (7-day free trial available) for topographic marine maps. Super helpful for navigation during your trip as our boats are equipped with depth finders, not maps.
The official Alaska Department of Fish & Game app to access regulations from your phone, keep track of licensing and more!
Leave Your Mark
Each year, some of our guests bring a small item to leave behind to hang up in the lodge. Just something fun to mark your visit!
We’ve seen coffee mugs, shot glasses, stickers, t-shirts, wedding favors, and more. This is totally optional, just a fun tradition.
Gratuities
While tips are never required, they sure make our weeks! The lodge industry standard is 15–20% per guest, and can be given at the end of your stay to any staff member.
We appreciate every kind word, fish story, and thank you, tips just help keep the good vibes (and hot coffee) flowing!
