Overview of Alaska Brown/Black Bear - Luxury Yacht Hunt

This is an incredible opportunity to hunt for brown and black bear while staying in a 85ft luxury yacht. Rarely do you get to experience a hot shower, chef prepared meals, and a comfortable bed while on a hunt in Alaska, but here you will! This outfitter has been in business since the 1990’s and is known for this rare experience.

During the day, you will hunt from 18 ft skiffs. So while your nights will be spent in comfort, the days are subject to Alaskan weather. Cold, wet, and miserable is what can be expected. Bringing the right gear with you is of critical importance, and we will assist you by giving you a detailed list of recommended clothing by us and our outfitter.

This outfitter offers hunts for black bear, brown bear, mountain goat, and sitka deer. The season of your hunt will determine what you are able to go after.

During the summer this is an excellent option for a family vacation! The yacht sails throughout southeastern Alaska (the inside passage) and will be all yours. This experience has opportunities for whale watching as well as encounters with other marine life.

Fishing

Excellent fishing expeditions for Salmon and Halibut are available during the summer months.  Call for more information on fishing and touring cruises.

Hunting

Black Bear:  Season – April through June and September
Wolf add-ons are available for bear hunts – opportunistic hunt

On our Alaskan Black Bear hunts,​ we maintain a 95-100% success rate. These are six-day hunts and we can take up to four hunters on these hunts. We average 7 ft. with bears ranging from 6.5 ft to-7.5 ft. Some exceptional few are nearly 8ft. We hunt these trophies in the same fashion as the Alaskan Brown Bear, in both the spring and fall, using the same methods and techniques based from our 80ft. yacht. Unlike the majority of other operations in Southeast Alaska who have one guide use area and are confined and limited to it and its beaches and bays.

Brown Bear:  Season – April through May and Mid September

We offer personal one on one hunting guide service with our 10 day  Alaska Brown Bear hunts​, only taking 2 to 4 hunters at a time to ensure you the best opportunities to see and choose from as many trophy Alaskan brown bears as possible. The average size of our bears is 8 1/2 ft. to 9 1/2 ft. This is a good representation of the coastal brown bears in Southeast Alaska. These brown bears can measure up to 9 1/2 ft. in this part of the state. Typically, this is the largest size you will find in this area of Southeast Alaska.

Mountain Goat:  Season – end of November

Mountain goat habitats in Alaska are harsh and unforgiving. Much time and energy are needed to successfully negotiate the poor late-season weather conditions and rugged terrain found on hunts for the long-haired trophy mountain goat. That’s why the expertise and experience makes such a difference.

We offer custom late-season Alaska mountain goat hunts. We have had well over 100% opportunity and enjoyed a nearly 100% success rate on our mountain goat hunts!

Our five-week mountain goat hunting season runs from the last week of October to the end of November. These goats, found only in the coastal mountains of Southeast Alaska, have incredibly beautiful long hair at this time of year. The goats are in rut during this season; combined with snow and cold weather, this pushes them to lower altitudes where they are more accessible, making the hunt enjoyable for everyone, without undue danger or stress.

Our Billy Goats average nine inches plus, and vary from 8.5 to 10 inches. In that time we have had nearly 100% success rate with 100% opportunity on these 7-day hunts. This alone speaks volumes about our Alaska mountain goat boat hunts.

The area we hunt is the only one like it in North America, with a high population of between 400 and 600 Mountain Goats. On a bad day, we may only see 20 or 30 Goats. On a good day, we can see as many as 100 Goats. The long hair, accessibility of the goats, not having to climb to hunt them, along with five-star accommodations aboard our luxury yacht each evening is what makes this hunt so unique. Each hunter has their own private cabin with full bathroom. You will have all the amenities of home, along with a full-time chef onboard.

Sitka Deer:  Season:  Late November combined with Mountain Goats

Sitka Deer hunts in Southeast Alaska are generally conducted in Late November in combination with our Late Season mountain goat hunts.  They are still in rut at this time and they are typically on the beaches and very accessible this time of year. The combo Mountain Goat/Sitka Deer hunt runs from November 15 – 25 each year. We typically run 100% opportunity on these stocky, unique, beautiful deer, and typically 100% success as well, as there are very good populations in our hunting area. They run in score size typically 70 to 90 points on the Boone & Crockett Club scale but do occasionally get some in the high 90’s to 100 point range as well.

The Sitka Deer in Alaska are fun and exciting to hunt, and have unique color and markings compared to any other Deer species. All Sitka Deer hunts will be based on current weather and hunt conditions and can change at the last minute.
