Stories of Alaska
Stories of Alaska

Alaska, "The Last Frontier", is synonymous with adventure. Here are some of our stories of home as experienced by our clients, friends, and guides.

Fishing is a way of life for most folks in Southeast Alaska and Ketchikan is no exception. As the saying goes "the cure for anything is salt water – sweat, tears or the sea." – Isak Dinesen

Corona Virus Update 2.3.2022

Even in the remote islands of Southeast Alaska, COVID 19 poses risks. The health and safety of our guests, employees, and community are our top priorities. We have put special measures in place to keep people safe on excursions:

The safety of our customers is paramount, so we’re also not going to walk away from common sense guidelines such as:

  • Vaccination – We believe vaccines provide safe and effective protection against COVID-19. We strongly encourage vaccination and boosters for all employees, and the vast majority are currently vaccinated against COVID 19
  • Social distance – We strive to keep groups separated as much as possible during the licensing and outfitting process, but our real strength in social distancing is based on the size of our boats. With only six passengers per vessel and one captain they spend time with, the risks of exposure are limited.
  • Masking – We abide by the federal mandate for passenger vessels, masks are required for the duration of the tour while in enclosed cabins. That being said, there is quite a lot of airflow even on our hardtops which are typically open to the back deck. Masking may be required at times for vulnerable guests on a case-by-case basis.
  • Stringent Cleaning – We’ve increased the frequency of disinfecting surfaces and high traffic areas such as the Alaska Fish House restaurant, bathrooms, the outfitting room, the dock, and our boats. Hand sanitizer will be available to all guests on every boat.
  • Wellness Checks:
    • Employees receive daily wellness checks to ensure they are healthy and symptom-free.
    • Employees are empowered to call in sick if they show symptoms.
    • If you or anyone in your group is experiencing symptoms, we will work directly with you to cancel or reschedule your tour free of charge.

These protocols have enabled Baranof Fishing Excursions to operate safely and successfully throughout 2020 and 2021. With your help, we intend to continue fishing safely in 2022!
