It sounds like we need to get the Islander guys to do a seminar at the Fred Hall shows....
There's lots of info about the trips on this site if you search for it!

From the pictures/videos that I have seen, they load the kayaks on the ship.

Towing slows them down.

Perhaps due to the weight and the size of the PA, they have decided to not allow them.

Hoping to get some info on the trips this year, too. Had booked the 1.5 day last year but it was cancelled

The Islander website doesn't have kayak charter dates posted yet.

Last year they allowed two PA-14's but that was it.

If you've never done one of these trips you need to book one. If you can go for the 2.5-day trip, it's not cheap but you'll have two full days of fishing, literally. I recall fishing from darkness to sunset which was from right around 0530 until almost 2100. I don't recall how I fished all day without having to crap but I do recall that the sun has just set when I finally got back on the mothership.

Tony and Don both had their PA 14s on the 2.5 day last year, but I would not bet on them allowing again this year.
