Two 20’ skifs per boat with two hunters in each. Spot and Stalk and this is a decent archery hunt because of ambush possibilities on coast cruisers and bears fishing for salmon. Bears will be spotted from the boat and then clients will be dropped to sneak in. The main boat can move to other areas easily during the hunt. Fall is the better archery option.A unique black bear hunt in some of the most incredible landscapes in the world, the coastal mountains of Prince William Sound.
- 2:1, fully guided Alaska black bear hunt.
- Fall hunts take place in September.

You will stay on “Castaways”, a 53’ live-aboard and is the ultimate hunting platform for Prince William Sound.
Enjoy being in remote bays surrounded by wildlife and having a dry, warm basecamp for your hunts. Castaway’s can sleep 6 hunters comfortably in its 3 private staterooms, along with having 2 full heads.
With a full modern kitchen, you will also enjoy some amazing meals while on your hunts, from fresh seafood from the waters of PWS including spot prawns, halibut and Copper River red salmon to steaks on the barbeque. When you get up from a long night of hunting you can expect a full hunter’s breakfast from home fries, eggs and bacon to pancakes and sausage.
In the living area there is plenty of seating to hang out and relax along with a 32’ flat screen TV for watching movies on those days the weather delays hunting. The whole boat boasts granite counter tops and tables, along with leather couches to hang out in.
Castaway’s also has a 12.5KW diesel generator below deck allowing us to power a small city if needed. This allows us to have an amazing heating system onboard and you can expect 70 degree inside temperatures after those long wet days of hunting. On top of that in the back “drying room” we have 2 chest freezers to freeze your trophy hides and meat, boot dryers, and hanging racks for all your clothes.
The best seat on the boat on a sunny day is the front outside couch where you can enjoy some of the most amazing scenery in the world as we cruise out to the hunting spot.[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Pricing and Available Dates Provided Upon Request” style=”custom” custom_background=”#1e73be” custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”xs” i_icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-arrow-circle-right” add_icon=”true” link=”url:%23form|||”][vc_empty_space height=”44px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”yes” background_color=”#ffffff”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”44px”][vc_custom_heading text=”Travel Information” font_container=”tag:h3|font_size:25px|text_align:left|color:%23222222|line_height:30px” google_fonts=”font_family:Rock%20Salt%3Aregular|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal”][vc_separator color=”custom” align=”align_left” border_width=”3″ el_width=”20″ accent_color=”#1e73be”][vc_column_text css_animation=”appear”]
