We know our fishing!

Get a fishing experience of a lifetime without the crowds found elsewhere in Alaska.

No long boat or plane rides to get there. Located just 15 minute flight from Cordova, nestled in a wild and spectacular setting in Sheep Bay, yet all the lodge comforts you wouldn’t expect in such a remote setting. www.andersenislandlodge.com

Welcome to Lonesome Dove Outfitters where you will find honest and sincere people providing you with a memorable Alaskan hunt. We are not based out of a lodge or from a boat, but instead, we operate out of comfortable tent camps which we move frequently to keep you in the best hunting areas for the given time and game movements. The slight sacrifice in comfort of this type of hunting is more than made up for in the quality and quantity of game you will encounter. We do not over-hunt our areas and only book a limited number of clients per year.

PWS Science Center is unbiased in their approach, and they approach all projects with the attitude that they can lead to positive impacts, sustainable use of resources, and a resilient region.

Seal is a 17 m / 56 foot expedition sailboat, built for Antarctic and Arctic conditions. Her hull, built to our specs in 2002, is metal (aluminium) for extra strength and she has a lifting keel and rudder allowing us to dry out completely and access shallow anchorages unavailable to deeper draft boats as well as being a big safety feature in accidental groundings. We worked closely with the designers Chuck Paine and Ed Joy to implement ideas gleaned from many years sailing on Skip Novak’s original “Pelagic” (which Hamish helped build and sail in 1987). One of the big changes we made was the raised saloon that allows one to have a view of the outside world while relaxing, eating, navigating or cooking. A central heating system with radiators and the 4” of foam insulation ensures it is both warm and dry below.

After five seasons in the Antarctic and South Georgia, we have been in Alaska since 2013. We are based in the winter in Cordova (Prince William Sound) and sail from there in the spring around the Sound and later in the summer out to the Kenai, Kodiak, Katmai and the vast network of islands comprising the Aleutians (Dutch Harbor to Adak and beyond).

Please contact us to discuss trips to any of the above places or any other places in Alaska you would like to visit by sailboat and we can plan expeditions to pretty much anywhere on the Alaskan coast whether you are interested in sailing, hiking, climbing, ski touring, photography, nature or all of the above! We can also run “Remote Cruising Workshops” if you are interested in a more learning based trip that has proved very popular.
