Anyone from beginners (no experience necessary!) to pro anglers will enjoy this trip. You’ll set off for 4 or 6 hours with your top-flite captain; the boat features space for 6 guests to explore this rugged, beautiful wilderness. And you’ll generally be in protected waters, which are calmer than the ocean. Keep an eye out for all kinds of wildlife—bears, wolves, whales, sea lions, and more—as you work with your guide to reel in your catch, then have your catch processed to send home.

The Tours

Salmon Charter

You’ll stay close to town—within 15 to 45 minutes—and in mostly calm waters. Choose from 4- or 6-hour trips and angle for the fish that Ketchikan is famous for.

Halibut Charter

Cast for these barn door–sized fish that ply Alaska’s waters. On these 5- or 6-hour expeditions, you’ll head out a bit further than with salmon charters—about an hour—and you may be in more open waters, depending on where the fish are biting. It’s s a great chance to fish for halibut as well as lingcod and rockfish.

Combo Charter

Go out for 5- or 6-hour trips—or book an entire day!—fishing for salmon, halibut, and more as you take in the beauty of Alaska.

Cruise Ship Excursions

Make the most of your time in port! These trips have been tailored to fit perfectly into cruise ship stopovers. Choose from a 4-hour salmon charter, a 5-hour halibut charter, or a 5-hour combo charter. Or book the eco and wildlife tour, which includes a delicious smoked Alaskan salmon picnic!

What to Bring

Fishing license (king stamp if fishing king), dress in layers, cameras, snacks, rain gear (there’s some on the boat), sunglasses, sunscreen
