Captained by Parker, our brand new state of the art 34-foot North River was built in 2024 and designed purely for the comfort and performance for anything Sitka throws at us. Built with a warm enclosed cabin with 3 air ride seats, this boat is not only spacious but extremely comfortable to be on.

Built with twin 300 horse Yamaha outboards and a 250 gallon fuel tank, the F/V Polaris can get us to any fishing or wildlife location quickly!
