Testimonials:

I think it would be very easy to say that a big part of my heart lives in Alaska; its beauty and size never ceases to amaze me. I even worked there during summer break from professional school. Lets put it this way I want to be buried there.

I have had some very disappointing experiences in Alaska with a sub-standard guide but this was not true with Keegan McCarthy. I have had the pleasure of hunting for big black bears in Alaska twice with Keegan. During the first trip the weather did not cooperate with the hunt at all. This in turn made Keegan try even harder to get us a bear. I was impressed with his tenacity but yet calm demeanor.

The second trip we had the pleasure of staying on the Sikumi, which was a first class experience from the beautiful staterooms to the excellent cuisine. I was also impressed with the friendliness and class of the crew and guides. I could have tried a different outfitter but I was really impressed with Keegan and his crew and wanted to “stay with a sure thing”. Boy was I glad that I did, I got my “pumpkin head” and a set of gnarly teeth. I think that anyone would enjoy the “full Alaskan experience with Coastal Alaskan Adventures.

I first met Keegan when he was an assistant guide for Scott Newman while on an Alaskan Brown bear hunt back in the middle 90’s. Since then I have been on 3 separate hunting adventures with Keegen in one of my favorite places on earth, the Pacific Northwest.

When Keegan became a master guide and outfitter my brother Scott and I booked a hunt with Keegan for Spring Black Bear. All of my expectations of Keegan as an Alaskan Guide were met. Not only was he very knowledgeable of his hunting area and the numerous black bear he guided us to, but the waters of Alaska can be treacherous and although young in age his experience as a boat captain helps assure that your trip will be as safe and pleasurable as possible. Keegan, his wife Chelsea and staff soon became good friends.

I then joined Keegan on 2 separate Sitka Black tail hunts. One was an archery hunt and one was a rifle hunt. Both were for 2 separate outdoor television programs I produced. The one thing I have learned after 30 years as a wildlife producer is to do as much homework as possible in finding the best place to document and hunt a particular species.

I didn’t hesitate to give Keegan a call. There was a tremendous amount of game to pursue and I can’t even count the number of beautiful Sitka Black tails that we harvested with both bow and rifle not to mention the incredible Sea Duck hunting we experienced. And there is nothing better then after a long day of hunting to return to a full pot of Dungeness crabs to feast on back at the warm floating lodge.

What can I say besides the fact that Keegen is a very respected and reputable guide who will go to extremes to make sure you experience a hunt of a lifetime? As long as I am alive I will yearn to hunt with Keegen and Coastal Alaska Adventures. You owe it to yourself to experience this true Alaskan adventure at least once in your lifetime.

Having hunted on 5 continents and over 60 safaris Ocean Point Alaska and more importantly Keegan McCarthy offers a excellent experience with quality trophies , explicit scenery and excellent customer service . The uniqueness from hunting from a boat is you see new country almost every day which gives one an excellent perspective of the country and trophy quality. Another great mention is the opportunity to fish, crab and shrimp during the down times . The customer service is great and Keegan is a very likeable Guide with great knowledge of the area.

I hunted with Keegan in 2010 and again in 2013.

2011 Spring Black Bear Hunt.

What a Dream Hunt! Everyone in our group filled their tag and the food and camaraderie was awesome. Our Bears were incredible and Keegan works really hard to make your hunt the best it can be. The fact that they are great people to be around is a bonus. Cant wait to go back!

My priorities for a hunt are: Legal, Safe, Fun and the opportunity to harvest a quality trophy. Keegan and team hit the mark on all accounts. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in SE Alaska Black Bear.

The 2011 spot and stalk spring black bear hunt with Keegan McCarthy along coastal Alaska was a great father son adventure for my son and I. We seen lots of game including whales, seals, moose, wolves, eagles, otters and lots of black bears. Keegan was very patient with me when I passed up a very nice brown colored black bear because I wanted a black colored black bear. We both got seven foot bears with 19 inch skulls and very nice pelts. My son I would give Keegan an A+ for the great food, equipment and bear hunt.

I had a fantastic time hunting Sitka deer and sea ducks with Ocean Point Alaska Outfitters. Boat accommodations, food and scenery were outstanding. Keegan McCarthy is very knowledgeable of the area and he will do whatever is required to put you on the game you are hunting. For a great Alaskan hunt I highly recommend Ocean Point Alaska. I plan to hunt with Keegan again in 2014 for an Alaskan Brown bear.

I went with my family, two sons, a daughter in law and her brother, on a family Black Bear Spring Hunt in 2011. Although I was not hunting myself, I did go on with one of my sons, Erik, every morning and afternoon looking for bears, and let me tell you we had one of the best hunts ever. Keegan as our guide, has a sight of a Lynx, as we say in Mexico. He would spot the bears more than a mile away. It was really exciting. On the other hand, accommodations and food were great. They even cooked for us Swedish Pancakes with lingonberry a tradition in my family. We are looking forward to go back with Keegan for the big Browns, it was a great holiday vacation for my family.

Regards to your wife and all the team.
