Alaskan Bush Pilot, Jeff Carlin, Ketchikan Tours

Jeff Carlin is a Ketchikan born and raised Alaskan bush pilot with over 3 decades of flying experience in Alaska. The Carlin family has lived in southeast Alaska for the better part of 60 years.

As an avid outdoorsman, Mr. Carlin spends much of his free time flying into remote areas for camping, fishing and hunting excursions. His life style combined with his professional experience allows for extensive local knowledge and extensive piloting skills that can only be acquired through decades of flying through various Alaskan weather cycles. As a result, Carlin Air is able to offer charter flights to areas which most other local air services are unwilling to provide.

Due to Jeff’s piloting skills and impeccable record of safety, Carlin Air is the air service of choice by local residents, the US Department of Interior, and Alaska Department of Fish and Game requiring such piloting skills. Whether you are needing remote area drop off and pickup for a hunting, canoeing, or fishing expedition or simply want to take a hour Misty Fjords Tour, go bear watching, or simply experience the joys of flying in a float plane, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing that your are flying with a highly skilled pilot with unique knowledge of the area.

Charter tours and flights are very competitively priced. As a result, scheduling a flight with Carlin Air, especially during peak seasons is often tight. If you are considering a flight, you should contact us immediately to ensure availability during your time and date requirements.
