Are you thinking of trying a do-it-yourself trip or hiring a guide?
DIY or a transporter. I've spoken to quite a few transporters and that seems like a great way to go but DIY is always fun.
Due to potential weather, cost of transporting a camp and meat on the return, likelihood of weather delays, and a lot of extra reasons and costs boat transporters make a lot of sense. If you are delayed by weather you will be more comfortable on a boat. You also have far fewer bear issues.
Most of your hunting will start steeply from the beach... deer can be gutted and dragged out whole to the beach. Have found that faster and easier than quartering and carrying.
