Captains Mike & Lori Bauer are the owners and operators of Coastal Island Charters, established in 1994. They conceived the idea of working together, and sharing with others what they love, fishing & exploring the incredibly beautiful Southeast Alaska. Both hold USCG 100 Ton Captains licenses, CPR & First Aid Certificates. They have been residents of Alaska since 1976 and make their home in Wrangell.

Mike is a licensed Alaskan Fishing guide and with his 29 years of experience in the area is quite accomplished. Another attribute to the success of the business is that he knows all the systems on the Huntress inside & out and is known to be able to “fix” anything. Lori, a certified Alaska Naturalist, and an excellent cook has many delectable ways to prepare the fresh seafood that is caught throughout each trip. Together, Mike & Lori compliment each other well with their combined talents, local knowledge and their warm Alaskan hospitality..
