The Yakutat Lodge

The Yakutat lodge reservation policies outline everything you need to know before booking your stay, including availability, rates, deposits, and cancellations. We also cover policies for unexpected events, such as emergency shutdowns. Please review the details below, and feel free to reach out with any questions. We can’t wait to host you at the Yakutat Lodge!

POLICIES

Availability, Rates and Quotes

Availability and rates at the Yakutat Lodge can change at any time, without notice. To lock in the best dates and rates, we recommend booking early. Verbal agreements with our staff do not guarantee dates or rates. Always request a written quote to secure the terms of your fishing trip. The Yakutat Lodge will honor the pricing and dates in your written quote for 14 days from the invoice date. After that, rates and dates will expire unless secured by a deposit.

Deposits

We encourage guests to book their preferred accommodations and dates well in advance. The Yakutat Lodge is one of Alaska’s most sought-after fishing lodges, and demand is high. Without a deposit or a written quote, dates may be sold to other guests, and rates are subject to change. To secure your dates, contact us for a written quote. A 50% deposit and signed contract are required to confirm your reservation. Dates not secured by deposit or contract may be sold to others without notice. Reservations failing to meet deposit and payment requirements may be canceled.

Cancellations

We understand that unexpected events can disrupt your Alaska sportfishing adventure. To protect yourself, we recommend purchasing travel insurance well in advance of your trip. This ensures you’re covered in case of an emergency. The Yakutat Lodge is not responsible for loss of fishing time, lodging, food, transportation, baggage, fish boxes, flight delays, or incidents caused by weather or other factors beyond our control.

The following policy applies to all cancellations:

All cancellations will incur a minimum fee of $100 per person. If you cancel between 60 and 120 days before your arrival, an additional cancellation fee of 25% of the total package price applies, or you can receive a non-refundable deposit good for one year, in addition to the minimum fee. Cancellations within 60 days of arrival will incur a 50% cancellation fee or a non-refundable deposit good for one year, plus the minimum fee. No exceptions will be made to this policy.

Emergency Shut Downs

If the state of Alaska or federal/local authorities impose a travel ban to Yakutat and the Yakutat Lodge due to an emergency, such as COVID-19, we will promptly issue refunds. However, if you choose to cancel due to COVID concerns while travel to Yakutat is still permitted, our standard cancellation policy will apply.
