Summer is Alaska's peak boating season, and many Pacific Northwest boat owners transport their vessels north for unparalleled fishing, whale watching, and wilderness cruising. The Inside Passage and Alaska's coastal waters offer world-class salmon fishing, halibut fishing, and spectacular scenery accessible only during the short summer season.
Alaska's boating season is compressed into June through August when weather is optimal and fish runs are peak. Many PNW boaters transport rather than make the long, challenging voyage themselves, saving time and wear on their vessels while ensuring arrival for prime season activities.
