Meet the Crew — Big Alaska Fishing Charters
F/V Christie Lynnie
F/V Christie Lynnie is a 37-foot north river that we had built and took delivery of in 2019. This vessel was built with chartering in mind and the North River design is famous for safety, stability and comfort in Alaskan waters. Instead of buying one of their production models, we decided to have one custom built a little bigger and a little wider to ensure that our customers have more room to fish and added comfort in the cabin during our travel time to and from the fishing grounds. The Christie Lynnie has twin 350 Suzuki motors that give her a 35-mph cruising speed and a max speed of 48-mph to ensure that out customers spend the most time possible fishing, not traveling. The cabin offers a large heater for comfort, a marine toilet with privacy curtains, two forward facing shock absorbing captains chairs and a dinette table with seating for four. She has a small cook stove and refrigerator and plenty of storage space for backpacks, camera bags, or anything additional that our customers bring aboard. There are usb power ports should our customers need to charge their phones or cameras during the trip. We designed this vessel so that there was extra room on the aft deck for fishing. She is extra wide and a little longer in the aft deck with 3 large below deck fish tanks so our deck is flush, allowing for a totally unobstructed fishing area without the need to store fish in totes above deck. We also had the Christie Lynnie built with 4’ sides for stability and safety of our guests. You will never feel like you are exposed to water on this vessel while at the same time never feeling cramped or impeded when you are reeling in the big ones. In addition to the amenities our cabin and aft deck offer, we also spared no expense with our state-of-the-art electronics, safety equipment, and fishing gear. Our goal when we designed this vessel was for guest safety, comfort, and to ensure that our guests have every possible advantage when trying to catch their trophy fish.
