Alaska Luxury Fishing Lodge
Our resort on Kodiak Island is amongst an
elite group of Alaska lodges - priding itself on
providing a level of service that is refreshingly
old fashion in its emphasis on quality. Our only
focus is our guests' comfort and satisfaction!
This focus is reflected in all our guest-oriented
activities. From the moment the floatplane sets
down to the time you reluctantly leave for home,
you enjoy a sense of being part of our happy
family!
Our Alaska fishing lodge
can accommodate up to twelve (12) guests in our
six private suites. Unless working with private
groups of 12 we choose to keep our guest level
between 6 and 8 for the highest level of service
and comfort. You will certainly enjoy our
park-like setting, cozy lodge atmosphere featuring
cedar and pine interiors,
Alaska native artifact display, and numerous
wildlife pictures and paintings.
We feature
deluxe bay view bedrooms each with a private
full-sized bath, a spectacular waterfront dining
room, and outrageously good meals. Our amenities
include our executive lounging and recreation room
and spacious covered veranda for wildlife vewing.
We specialize in providing our guests a relaxed
vacation atmosphere, highlighting personalized
service and comfort.
 At the end of your adventurous
day sport-fishing and sightseeing, relax in our
executive lounging area, feast on our tasty
hor-d'oeuvres, and enjoy your favorite drink while
recounting your day's exploits with your best
friends. (Though we don't provide liquor, you'll
find a generous supply of ice, mixers, and soft
drinks in the lounging/wet-bar area to meet your
needs.) Our appetizer platters are heaping with
fresh crab, smoked salmon, shrimp, cheeses,
homemade dips, crackers, and other marvelous
culinary masterpieces from our gourmet chef.
Restrain yourself from overindulgence - I know
it's hard, but leave enough room for your main
course and all the trimmings!
Our
recreation area has a wet bar, satellite
television, VCR and videotape movies, and a card
table for your enjoyment. There is a good
selection of nature tapes about Alaska. You can
also hook up your video camera to view your daily
fishing action if you wish.
Dining at our resort on Kodiak Island is
always an event! You will really enjoy your
delicious meals while taking in our expansive view
of the Kodiak Mountains and Larsen Bay. Your main
course will range from Halibut Florentine or
Halibut stuffed with crabmeat, King Salmon with
Hollandaise sauce, to Porterhouse or Prime rib
steaks with au jus - on the lighter side, how
about Fettuccini Alfredo with smoked salmon? Savor
our homemade breads and desserts!
Though we
enjoy showcasing our area's fresh seafood, we
realize 'one shoe' doesn't fit all our guests'
palates, therefore, our head chef prepares an
assortment of delicious Alaskan cuisine
to make sure everyone has a thoroughly enjoyable
dining experience.
Fishing Lodge
Staff The Island Resort staff has
a tradition of providing a level of service that
is refreshingly old-fashion. Their sincere
objective is to surpass our guest's expectations
for great service. Our hostesses are always
courteous and friendly, and pleased to take your
special requests. Our housekeeping staff keeps
your rooms spotlessly maintained with a little
extra elbow grease applied; they take pride in
their work, and it really shows - your rooms are
comfortable and inviting.

Quality
Control
Upon booking your Alaska
Sport-fishing or Hunting Adventure to Kodiak
Island we promptly mail a travel "Guest
Planner' form that enables us to have your
sport-fishing license prepared prior to your
arrival, alert the gourmet chef of any dietary
restrictions and give attention to your special
requests. Our special effort to customize your
vacation truly distinguishes our operation from
others. We ask our guests to mail back the
planning forms and a copy of the airline
itinerary.
Leaving
Home
You will be contacted a
few days prior to the beginning of your fishing
adventure to Kodiak Island. This gives you
the last minute opportunity to share any special
requests prior to the commencement of your
adventure.
When you arrive in
Alaska
We are
committed to providing the highest quality
adventure for our clients. As with any remote
destination, a "hassle-free" travel experience is
an important part of your vacation. To make sure
you have no surprises during your flights to and
from Kodiak Island, please take a moment to
read information that follows.
Some of our
trip packages include roundtrip charter air
service from Anchorage to the Lodge in Larsen Bay.
One of the most important factors in flying
throughout Alaska is weight. On these flights we
allow for the weight of the passenger, plus 50lbs
of luggage and one box of fish of 50 lbs on the
return flight to Anchorage. On flights from Kodiak
to Larsen Bay we allow for the weight of the
passenger, transportation of two 50 pound boxes of
fish and 50 pounds of personal luggage. Most
first-time travelers tend to over pack, so please
bring only what you will need.
If you wish
to go over the listed weights or want to bring
more fish home, all related expenses will be your
responsibility. There are several options
available; For example, you may choose to send
your clothing home via the U.S. Mail. A second
option is to upgrade the aircraft to accommodate
more weight.
If you are flying through
Kodiak City be aware that local scheduled flights
allow for the passenger and 50lbs only: additional
weight is charged at a rate of $.60 cents per
pound. The major airlines will list weight
allowances on their websites and additional weight
is solely you responsibility.
