Lodge facility and rooms
The main Lodge building is a large facility located right on the beach, with spacious
porches overlooking the inlet and surrounding mountains. This is the center of
activity at Ravencroft, and all meals are served here in the lodge dining room. The
lounge/meeting room is a relaxing place for guests to hang out and discuss the
days exciting events before turning in. The 'Bunkhouse' building is nestled into a
nook in the coastal rainforest, a few yards back from the beach. Fresh linens,
towels and clean rooms welcome each one of our guests. The Bunkhouse can
accommodate up to 16 guests. There is a 16x20 cabin available for extra meeting
space and is available upon request. Chairs and tables are also available to help
facilitate meetings or gatherings while at the lodge.
Lodge Boats and Fishing Adventures
Ravencroft Fishing Lodge offers two distinctly different types of fishing packages.
You can either come to the Lodge on a Guided Package, or you may choose to do a
Self-Guided Fishing Package. Choosing the right package for you and your group
depends upon several factors, including your experience and comfort level, as well
as experience with operating boats and/or kayaks in a coastal marine
environment.
Guided fishing packages are designed for the person who wishes to relax and leave
everything to us. A knowledgeable USCG guide is assigned for every four to six
fishermen. He will pilot your fishing boat each day, taking care of tackle, bait/lures
and maintaining a clean vessel for your group. He will also clean, package and
freeze your catch at the end of each day. Guided fishing is done from our 30'
StormCat Catamaran. Larger guided groups are split unto multiple boats to
accommodate for more room for each fisherman. Our Self-Guided fishing
packages are less expensive than our Guided packages, and designed for people
with some fishing experience, or who simply feel they would prefer to 'be their
own guide, on their own schedule', while at the lodge. The lodge provides an
informative training/orientation which covers the operation of the particular
fishing boat to be used, as well as all peripheral gear, safety equipment & radios,
and safety procedures.
Also included are discussions of the area's geography, weather, fishing hotspots,
fishing methods, which can be as detailed as you request. Since the lodge is
located in protected water in Prince William Sound, guests will be pleasantly
surprised at the relative calm waters that surround the lodge. There are no swells
to contend with and guests usually refer to Port Fidalgo as, "the lake". Most days
the waters are flat and extremely enjoyable to fish on! On our worst weather days
you can expect 2-3 footers, making this package a self-guided fisherman’s dream
and coming back year after year.
More fishing pictures on our website; including Halibut, King, Sliver, Chum and
Pink Salmon, Rockfish, Ling and Pacific Cod, Sea-run Trout and many more!
Beachcombing and Campfires
Guests can walk the beaches in front of the Lodge to discover a hidden world of
plant and animal life. The tidal swings can have a 18' difference at times, making it
easy for one to find little gems like Alaskan sand dollars and starfish. This is a
favorite among families and children. Ecological tours at low tide with our resident
biologist can be requested at the lodge! This is an informative and wonderful way
to see the hidden world that lies between the tidal lands and ocean gateway of the
Alaskan marine wilderness.
Campfires can be built for your pleasure during the day or each night on the
footsteps of the lodge beach. Let your creative juices flow while relaxing around
the campfire, during a brainstorming session. As many wonderful stories and
discussions have taken place here.

marine life that inhabit the cool glacial waters.

problem solving one plate at a time. Build team work with your employees

handpicked and unusual ingredients. They will need to work together to create a
unique recipe. Each team will focus on originality, taste, plating, serving, and most

Sea-Lion Rookery/Bird Watching Cave Tours

Sea-lion rookery located on this rocky island is only 45 minutes from the lodge and
guests can spot for whales as we traverse the rich waters of Prince William Sound.

Eagles, located along treetops and shorelines. As well as Tufted and Horned
