The Boat Experience
These professional-grade SeaArk 18-foot aluminum boats are built for the rugged conditions of Iliamna Lake. Their tunnel hull design allows navigation into extremely shallow water, opening up remote coves and prime spawning grounds that other boats simply can’t reach. Whether you are setting out for salmon fishing, wildlife photography, or exploring remote finger coves, our fleet gives you total freedom to explore on your own schedule. With both a Minn Kota Navigational GPS Electric Trolling Motor with 55lbs of Thrust with Remote Control Steering and Spot Lock and a 40hp 4-stroke jet drive engine, you have the precision of automated navigation and the raw power to cover serious distance across one of Alaska’s largest and most remote lakes.
Speed & Travel Time
Using the Minn Kota Navigational GPS Electric Trolling Motor at 75% power, these are your approximate speed and travel times in calm water:
- Approx. 1 mile = 12 minutes
- Approx. 5 miles = 1 hour
The trolling motor battery is good for approximately 4 hours of use before needing to be recharged. All kayaks come equipped with paddles so you are never without a way to get back to shore.
