This remote haven, crafted with passion and dedication by Captain Nick Blanco, offers a unique opportunity to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with the awe-inspiring wonders of nature.


Captain Nick Blanco's lifelong passion for fishing began during his childhood, and this fervor for angling led him to create the magnificent Driftwood Wilderness Lodge. His remarkable journey was captured on the television show "Building Alaska," where viewers witnessed the transformation of his dream into a reality.

This vessel offers ample space for up to six anglers to cast their lines simultaneously and is fully equipped with all the necessary gear to ensure a successful day on the water.


Captain Nick Blanco extends a warm welcome as he meets you at Larsen Bay airport and escorts you to the lodge. Over the course of your stay, you'll spend seven to ten hours each day on the water, casting your lines to pursue freshwater Steelhead or venturing into the saltwater depths in search of Salmon, Halibut, and Lingcod.


After each exhilarating fishing excursion, Captain Nick will expertly clean and prepare your catch, transforming it into a delectable meal that you'll savor at the lodge. With all-inclusive amenities, including three delicious meals per day, WiFi access, private accommodations, and top-notch fishing equipment, your every need is catered to, ensuring a worry-free and rejuvenating escape.
