Custom Built Fishing Boats

We designed our three boats

—Savvy, Serendipity, and Serenity—for our location and the way we operate here on Raspberry Island, and had them custom built by our Alaska-based company, Alaskan Aluminum Power Catamarans. Purpose-built for the waters of the Kodiak Island Archipelago, Savvy and Serendipity measure 39’ × 14½’, while Serenity is 34’ × 13’.
 
Their hydrofoil-assist catamaran design delivers a stable, comfortable ride at 25–30 knots, allowing us to travel efficiently and maximize fishing time each day.
 
Each vessel features a hydraulic drop-bow ramp, allowing guests to step directly aboard from our beaches—no docks or ladders. Wide walkways and a single-level deck make movement easy while fishing or sightseeing. Fully enclosed, heated cabins provide seating, visibility, and a private bathroom with flush toilet.
 
These are serious fishing platforms, equipped with advanced navigation and fish-finding electronics, including detailed seafloor mapping systems. Over time, we’ve developed proprietary charts revealing productive bottom not shown on standard GPS.
 
Each boat is outfitted with Seeker stand-up and trolling rods paired with Accurate reels, TFO spinning rods with Penn reels, and Echo fly rods with Orvis reels, along with Daiwa electric setups when needed. We fish braided line with fluorocarbon leaders.
 
We limit each vessel to no more than six guests, maintaining space, comfort, and a focused guide-to-angler experience. Savvy, Serendipity, and Serenity were designed and built specifically for Kodiak Raspberry Island Remote Lodge—and for your time on the water here.

Gary and Wendy, Spring, TX

Words can not describe how lucky we are to have met such a wonderful family and a place so magnificent. This IS heaven on earth. The food was delicious and all the dinners were especially first class. Thank you for the bear viewing, the kayaking, hiking, fishing…Thank you again for sharing one of many Alaskan treasures. We look forward to our next visit.

Fishing in Kodiak

Fishing within the Kodiak Archipelago combines productive multi-species waters from our comfortable boats, short runs from the lodge, and constant views of rugged coastline, wildlife, and remote coastal Alaska.

fish species

The surrounding waters support a wide range of North Pacific species, including all five Pacific salmon, halibut, lingcod, multiple rockfish species, Pacific cod, and Tanner crab. We target all of them.

Your Fishing Experience

Fishing here is shaped as much by weather, tide, wildlife, and landscape as the catch itself—days may include multiple species targeted through various techniques in both fresh and salt water.
