Of all the trips we run, Private Charters run the farthest, spend the most time on the grounds, and provide the greatest flexibility to guests and guides. We send our most experienced captains on these trips because they demand high levels of creativity in targeting a combination of different species. Booking this trip gives you the freedom to define the experience. You may choose from a variety of vessels, target halibut, salmon, lingcod, rockfish, pacific cod, Dungeness crab, or chase sightseeing opportunities and wildlife. We also love to combine this fishing excursion with dining experiences featuring your fresh catch; either at our rustic fish camp deep in the National Forest; or a chef-prepared meal at our restaurant at the harbor after your return. This trip is about crafting an experience that will fit your unique needs and interests. When you book the boat, we look forward to working with you to build an unforgettable Alaskan adventure. You may have up to 6 anglers onboard.

Q&A

Q: What’s the best time of year to book the Ketchikan fishing charter?

A: The summer months, especially June through September, are ideal for the Ketchikan fishing charter. This is when halibut and salmon are most abundant. Plus, the weather is generally milder, making for a more enjoyable experience on the water. Remember, you can also combine fishing with some amazing sightseeing during this time!

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the fishing charter?

A: There’s no strict age limit, but it's recommended for kids 8 and older. They’ll have a better time and be more engaged in the fishing. Just keep in mind, being on a boat can be a bit rough for younger ones, so it’s good to gauge your child’s comfort with that.

Q: Do you need any fishing licenses for this charter?

A: No need to worry about licenses! The charter includes everything you need, including gear and licenses. Just show up, and they’ll handle the rest. It's nice to not have to deal with any red tape when you’re trying to enjoy your fishing trip.

Thinking of gifting the Ketchikan fishing charter - any advice?

I’m considering getting the Ketchikan private fishing charter for my dad’s birthday. He loves fishing but hasn’t done it in Alaska yet. I know they offer a mix of fishing and dining experiences too, which is awesome! Would this be suitable for someone who’s a casual angler? Also, what’s the likelihood of catching something? Any tips would be appreciated!

Just got back from the fishing charter - here’s my review!

Wow, I just got back from the Ketchikan fishing charter and it was incredible! We caught a ton of salmon, the crew was super knowledgeable, and we even got to see some sea lions. The fresh catch dinner at the restaurant was the perfect ending. Totally worth every penny! I’d recommend it to anyone into fishing or just wanting a unique experience in Alaska.
