Alaska’s luxury
yacht adventures
The longest-tenured outfitter on the Tongass National Forest. Pioneers of yacht-based hunting and adventure in the last great American wilderness.
A second-generation
Alaskan tradition
Glacier Guides, Inc. has been providing extraordinary adventures into the pristine grandeur of Alaska and Glacier Bay National Park since the early 1970s. We are the longest-tenured outfitter operating on the Tongass National Forest — America’s largest national forest.
We pioneered yacht-based brown bear, black bear, and mountain goat hunting in Alaska. Master Guide Alisha “Mutts” Rosenbruch-Decker and Zach Decker carry on a family tradition built on unparalleled service and exceptional commitment to every guest.
We hold the largest, most diverse selection of Guide Use Areas of any operation in Alaska — giving our guests superior flexibility and access to the very best hunting and adventure grounds in Southeast Alaska.
Hunt wild Alaska
Join us on an extraordinary hunting adventure for some of Alaska’s most iconic big game species. Every hunt is all-inclusive, yacht-based, and guided by the best in the business.
Alaskan Brown Bear
Hunt the renowned ABC Islands — Admiralty, Baranof, and Chichagof — for one of the most unique brown bear populations in the world. Bears here share ancestral lineage closer to polar bears than typical Alaskan browns. The Alaskan Grandeur serves as base camp while 18-foot skiffs provide access to the hunting grounds.
Black Bear & Wolf
Coastal rainforest giants inhabit the Tongass and the many islands of the Alexander Archipelago. Hunt via spot-and-stalk from skiffs along stunning stretches of shoreline. Add the rare Alexander Archipelago wolf — a unique subspecies distinct in both stature and genetics — for a truly once-in-a-lifetime combo hunt.
Mountain Goat
Hunt sure-footed monarchs in the ice-filled glacial fjords of Southeast Alaska. Our area holds some of the greatest genetic potential for trophy billies in North America — exceptional goats over 10 inches are taken nearly every year. The stunning fjord backdrop, rising near-vertical from the sea, makes this an unforgettable adventure.
Sitka Blacktail Deer
Deer hunting unlike anywhere else on earth — among the towering Sitka spruce of the Tongass during the peak rut. Snow and weather push the deer to the beaches and grass flats. Still hunting with calling is highly effective, with these elusive animals responding to doe and fawn bleats and closing to very short range.
Experience Glacier Bay
National Park
Beyond the hunt, Glacier Bay is one of the most extraordinary wilderness areas on earth. Our luxury yacht cruises, sport fishing, and fly fishing adventures offer an unbeatable experience of this magnificent place.
Glacier Bay Yacht Cruise
Cruise the Inside Passage and Glacier Bay National Park aboard our custom luxury yacht. Anchor in hidden coves, hike near massive tidewater glaciers, kayak pristine waters. Whales, sea lions, sea otters, and bald eagles around every bend. A family adventure or a grand escape for couples unlike anything else.
Luxury Sport & Fly Fishing
Fish for giant Pacific Halibut, aggressive Salmon, and Rockfish from our elegant 30-foot Armstrong Catamaran. Or wade pristine streams in the old-growth rain forest, fly fishing for 4 species of Pacific Salmon, Arctic Char, Cutthroat, and Rainbow Trout. Sometimes a fish every cast.
The Alaskan Grandeur & The Seclusion
The only outfitter in Southeast Alaska with luxury vessels custom-designed and built specifically for our operations. Not converted — purpose-built from the keel up for the ultimate wilderness experience.
78-foot luxury base camp
The Alaskan Grandeur serves as your floating lodge — anchored in remote coves accessible only by water, surrounded by nothing but wilderness.
Chef-prepared meals
Return from every hunt or adventure to a full dinner prepared by our onboard chef. High adventure, zero sacrifice on comfort or cuisine.
18-foot powered skiffs
Access every stretch of shoreline, estuary, stream, and fjord. Maximum reach into the most productive hunting and adventure grounds in Alaska.
What our guests say
This was my second hunt with Glacier Guides. Both hunts went above and beyond. Having hunted around the world I can attest to Alicia, Zach and their team’s attention to every detail. My 2021 Spring Brown Bear hunt was what dreams are made of. Glacier Guides is the BEST. You get what you pay for!
One of the most amazing hunts ever! The scenery, accommodations, methods of transportation, abundance and quality of game is unsurpassed by any hunt I’ve ever experienced. During the hunt we were within easy rifle range of no less than eight trophy boars, some as close as 20 feet!
Everything was first class — from numerous bears to the luxury yacht. The knowledge of the guides is unsurpassed. Please feel free to have any interested hunter give me a call and I will gladly detail this once-in-a-lifetime adventure!
Best hunt ever with the best guides in Alaska. Fantastic accommodation and great food. The only thing that might be better would be their goat hunt.
It was a personal highlight being able to watch my goat come down the mountain to within 100 yards of my position! Alisha “Mutts” Decker was able to determine the behavioral pattern of my goat and got me into position quickly. It was unbelievable!
All expectations were exceeded — the number of bears, guide expertise, accommodations, cuisine, hunt locations, wildlife sightings, and care of our trophies. Hunting with this legendary outfitter is a must for all bucket lists!
