Looking at roundtrip on Alaskan air it was about 800$.  I would also be curious about the cost of the actual boat, and reasonable expectations for the hunt.

We used to call that boat Uncle Wally!
The boat was used for commercial salmon enforcement in Bristol Bay as well.
Surprised to see it decommissioned, ADF&G must have seized a nicer boat.

My interpretation of the rules are open to interpretation.
Once I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken.

Here is “The” National Forest on Adak. Only hills for them to hide in, can’t imagine it would be a very tough hunt. :chuckle:

Wow, you can fly anywhere with an air transporter for half that. No
meals or accommodations  though

Air transporter may have a tough time getting to where this boat takes these guys.

But I just plotted their likely course out on my plotter, and it appears to be a 36.52-ish NM boat ride from the Adak harbor to the farthest SE point of Adak.  In good weather, boat will make that trip in 4-ish hours.  Seems like there might be more involved than an airport shuttle and 8 hours on the water?  :dunno:

Price was removed as the OP says the outfitter doesn't want it published. Feel free to pm the OP for that information.

And we're not really here to advertise hunts for a non-sponsoring outfitter.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

they aren't just taking you to the sound end of the island and dropping you off.

you will be staying on the boat the whole time, hot showers, fed 3 meals a day, taking a skiff to the island every day, ect

its a floating lodge

Roger, I missed that in your first post. Thanks for the clarification.
