Getting your fish Processed

For cruise ship passengers or single day tours, we recommend having your fish processed by either Cedars Lodge or Clover Pass Marina. Processing and freezing will cost approximately $2.50-$3.00 per pound of fileted fish, plus the cost of specialized fish shipping boxes.

These processing options will also help you calculate shipping costs, which must be overnight shipping, and will handle all shipping arrangements.
If you would like fish heads, eggs, carcasses, or your fish steaked, all processing will be through Clover Pass Marina.

Additional Fishing tour Costs

There will also be transportation costs and you must use a local taxi, uber, or shuttle service to get from your cruise ship to the state dock where our tours begin, and to return to your ship afterward.

An Alaska fishing license is also required. We highly recommend purchasing your license before your trip from the Alaska game and fish website. If you get a license please be sure to bring a copy with you.
