Our custom fishing boats, Savvy and Serendipity, are purpose built to our specifications by Alaskan Aluminum Power Catamarans here in Alaska. These twin hydrofoil assist, all aluminum, catamarans are 36 feet long and 14’ 8” wide, and each have 600 horsepower to cruise at 35MPH! They are perfect for our waters, offering a stable and comfortable ride as we travel the short distance to wherever we decide to target various fish species each day. They feature a hydraulic drop bow ramp so our guests can simply step on and step off each boat from our shale beaches; no ladders to climb or docks to scramble over, just walk right into the boat. Easily and safely walk around the whole boat, the level deck and wide walk ways make the entire vessel accessible while fishing, sightseeing, and enjoying the day on the water. Each has a fully enclosed and heated cabin with plenty of seating and visibility, and a huge private bathroom complete with hot running fresh water.
Savvy and Serendipity, as comfortable as they are, were specifically designed to be fish hunters, and come with the latest in navigational and fish finding electronics, including a 3D bathymetric recorder that we use to map every detail on the sea floor, developing personal charts that show structure that was before unmarked on standard GPS systems. Each boat is outfitted with quality stand up, spinning, trolling/mooching, and fly fishing gear from Accurate, Scotty, Penn, TFO, Lamiglass, Seeker, G. Loomis, Sage, Ross, Scott, and Daiwa electric halibut reels. All terminal tackle is also provided; all you need is a fishing license.
We only take up to six passengers per boat, optimizing the space on each vessel and helping to focus specifically on each of our guests interests, each day. Savvy and Serendipity are a cumulation of years of planning, personal experience, and today’s latest in technology. We invite you onboard.
Thank you for being so wonderful to me and my clients, as they said it themselves, ‘this trip, the food, the fish, the people, have exceeded our expectations.’ ‘Top Shelf.’ ‘5 Star.’ You make everything you do look easy even though you never really stop for very long- Raspberry Island is the only place to go for the best of everything.
