Lisianski Inlet Lodge & Charters – Waterfront Lodge in Pelican, AK

Lisianski Inlet Lodge offers an authentic and remote saltwater fishing experience from the unique boardwalk community of Pelican, Alaska, nestled deep within the Lisianski Inlet and the pristine wilderness of Southeast Alaska, offering an unfiltered glimpse into life in a small, working fishing village while delivering access to some of the most untouched and productive fishing grounds in the Inside Passage.

The philosophy is one of simplicity, community, and a deep connection to the sea, where the pace of life is dictated by tides and weather. It is a destination for anglers seeking a true escape, away from tourist crowds, in a setting that feels like a step back in time.

Lisianski Inlet Lodge empowers guests to create their own adventure, whether that means a leisurely day of jigging for bottomfish off the dock or a dedicated offshore excursion in pursuit of trophy fish.
