Larry “Captain Mac” McQuarrie

Owner

Larry, or “Captain Mac” as he is known around the Lodge, grew up in a coastal Canadian fishing community and started working on commercial fishing trollers in his early teens. He attended the Canadian Naval Academy and spent several years at sea as a carrier pilot.

After leaving the Navy, he joined United Airlines and while waiting to start training at United, served a stint as a helicopter bush pilot in British Columbia and the Yukon Territory. In the mid '70s, while still at United, he established one of the largest charter fishing operations in Westport, Washington.

During the ‘80s, Captain Mac was able to realize his lifelong dream when he acquired the Sportsman’s Cove Lodge. Since that time, while continuing his flying career at United based in Anchorage, Captain Mac has steadily improved and expanded the Lodge, bringing it up to the level of excellence we all enjoy today. Captain Mac just recently retired after 34 years at United and is able to devote even more time to the Lodge he loves.
 

Sportsman's Cove Lodge is an equal oppurtunity provider operating on
the Tongass National Forest under Special use permit from the Forest Service, USDA.
