Family-run Southeast Alaska boat-based hunting outfit chasing brown bear, black bear, goat, and deer from the 80-foot yacht Alaskan Harvest.
Alaska Boat Hunts is the boat-based hunting operation of Parker Guide Service, a small family business that says it has run on word of mouth for 29 years. Hunts are based aboard the Alaskan Harvest, an 80-foot yacht the family custom-designed and built themselves, working Southeast Alaska's Guide Use Area Unit 3 around Kuiu and Kupreanof islands.
The outfit guides coastal brown bear, black bear, November long-haired mountain goat, and Sitka blacktail deer, with salmon fishing and wildlife cruises on the side. Its stated philosophy is fair chase and 100 percent opportunity rather than guarantees, with the total experience counting for as much as the harvest.
Background as described by the operator on their own website.
Alaska hunting seasons vary significantly by Game Management Unit and species. Confirm current seasons with ADF&G and book well in advance — quality outfitters fill 6–18 months ahead for peak species. Non-residents must be accompanied by a licensed guide or qualifying Alaska resident for most big game species.
