Awesome. Thank you Gents!

I just sent some old fishing buddies an email about planning a trip this year. Once I get some traction, I'll contact the right folks and get this ball rolling.

If anyone is interested in this, please post and let me know. I'll start making a list of folks and start putting some sort of planning in motion.

Thanks guys!

Some of these motherships do not accept PA kayaks.

Just something to check out first.

Oh, good call.

Do they typically drag the boats out, or do they deck load and strap them down for the ride? I cant definitely see it being a problem if they are dragging them behind the ship.

It sounds like we need to get the Islander guys to do a seminar at the Fred Hall shows....
There's lots of info about the trips on this site if you search for it!

From the pictures/videos that I have seen, they load the kayaks on the ship.

Towing slows them down.

Perhaps due to the weight and the size of the PA, they have decided to not allow them.

Hoping to get some info on the trips this year, too. Had booked the 1.5 day last year but it was cancelled

The Islander website doesn't have kayak charter dates posted yet.

Last year they allowed two PA-14's but that was it.

If you've never done one of these trips you need to book one. If you can go for the 2.5-day trip, it's not cheap but you'll have two full days of fishing, literally. I recall fishing from darkness to sunset which was from right around 0530 until almost 2100. I don't recall how I fished all day without having to crap but I do recall that the sun has just set when I finally got back on the mothership.
