Welcome aboard
Want ultimate freedom in fishing? Look no further than an Alaska charter with the Maggie Sea! But listen up, folks, because most boats are only 27’ or 28’ long and can get crowded with six people. Buyer, beware, my fishy friends! There’s normally not enough room in the stern of the ship. Anglers are elbow-to-elbow, and the interior of the cabin can feel claustrophobic. Trust us, you don't want to be elbow-to-elbow with your mates all day or get stuck in a claustrophobic cabin.
Step aboard the 40' Maggie Sea and sail into the lap of luxury. Designed for seafarers seeking a smooth ride, this custom cabin cruiser boasts a roomy interior with plenty of space to stretch out and relax.
