Private Alaska Salmon Fishing—Up to 6 Guests, Priced by Group
Overview
Book the whole boat for one flat rate: $1400 for up to 4 guests; $1700 for 5; $1900 for 6. That makes this private charter a steal!
And while all guests are welcome, no other charter fishing operation in Ketchikan is more accessible. Our custom-built boat is wheelchair accessible; we have adaptive fishing gear on board; and Captain Jack has over ten years experience working in various disabled communities. We believe that ocean excursions are for everyone–that's why we built this boat with accessibility in mind.
Captain Jack is also a consummate host and year-round resident of Ketchikan, whose primary goal is to give you the best experience possible, whatever the nature of the weather or the bite.
Novice anglers will find a friendly and patient teacher. Experienced anglers will have opportunity to try more advanced techniques. And all anglers will meet an enthusiastic captain who is happy to guide you through a taste of what life is like here in Southeast Alaska!
What's Included
- Snacks Simple snacks like chips, crackers, and cookies are included.
- Bottled water
- Daily fishing licenses for those 16 and up must be purchased from the Alaska Dept of Fish & Game.
What To Expect
Get a taste of life in Alaska on this fully-accessible fishing charter with a Ketchikan local as your captain.
Wild Pacific salmon abound in the waters here, with all five species (king, silver, pink, chum, and sockeye) in overlapping runs, May through October.
All are welcome, and our boat was built to be wheelchair-accessible. We also have adaptive fishing gear for those who may require it: a wheelchair-mountable rod holder; grasping cuffs for those with limited wrist function; and reel grips for those with limited finger function.
Captain Jack is a Certified Autism Specialist through IBCCES, and Fishability Alaska is also certified through Autism Double-Checked.
We often see wildlife while we are fishing—whales, orcas, porpoises, seals, sea lions, eagles, and more! Captain Jack will happily regale you with tales of Ketchikan's past, present, and future—or keep it low-key and quiet, if you just want to soak up the scenery and enjoy the peace of escaping the crowds.
We can also arrange shipping, if you'd like to keep fish and have them processed. This is done by a separate company in Ketchikan, who have their own pricing.
