If you have any additional questions please give us a call. \u00a0If we don\u2019t know the answer we are happy to make a call to local law enforcement officers who are always willing to give us an accurate explanation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fish Processing<\/strong> \u2013 Our staff will fillet, vacuum pack, freeze, and box your catch according to your directions and specifications. Our system is designed with multiple backups in place to ensure that you get the fish you caught makes it's to your dinner table.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shipping\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 Due to the rising costs of excess baggage and the hassle of handling boxes on the way home from a fishing trip, many of our customers have opted to have their catch shipped home via FedEx. Although expensive, FedEx Overnight Delivery serves some added benefits including an overnight delivery guarantee, and the ability to choose a delivery date and location that is convenient for you. FedEx rates run in the $6 to $7 per pound range, depending on the quantity shipped delivery location.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gratuities<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 As many of our customers complete their trip and prepare to return home it is not uncommon for customers to request information on gratuities. Being part of the service and travel industry, gratuities are a common way of expressing appreciation for exceptional service. That being said, we strongly believe that gratuities are earned, not expected. Nothing short of a great experience should be worthy of a gratuity! Unless you stipulate otherwise, all gratuities are pooled and split among all staff members. Skippers must be tipped separately. We offer the following suggestions based on your experience at our resorts:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Staff Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exceeded All Expectations \u2013 $25\/day on own line Excellent \u2013 $20\/day<\/li>\n<li>Good to Very Good \u2013 $15\/day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Guide Tips<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Exceeded All Expectations \u2013 $50\/day<\/li>\n<li>Excellent \u2013 $40\/day<\/li>\n<li>Good to Very Good \u2013 $20 \u2013 $25 \/day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If we did not meet or exceed expectations, please contact a member of our management team to discuss areas of improvement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arriving in Ketchikan After your plane touches down at Ketchikan International Airport, one of our friendly shuttle drivers will greet you on the curb outside of baggage claim.
