Overview

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.

What To Expect

Welcome to the most exclusive tour of Ketchikan’s world-renowned waters. On this trip, you’ll charter your own private boat with a professional guide. With a limited time in port, you want to make the most of every moment. By offering personalized trips, we allow you to focus on what makes Alaska magical to you. We know the area, and you know your interests. Together, we will create the journey of a lifetime.

Your professional guides know these waters, and they can’t wait to share them with you. We can target Halibut, salmon, chase whales and wildlife, or incorporate dining into your experience. If you’d like, these trips can go ashore at your exclusive wilderness fish camp and have your catch prepared before your eyes under old growth timber. This trip also gives your captains the flexibility to target succulent Dungeness crab by running to quiet sandy inlets and dropping pots. With a private charter, you and your captain enjoy the flexibility to design your day on the water.
