Professional Charters with Decades of Experience
Our charters are professionally operated—just like the full-day trips we’ve been running for almost 40 years. Each guest can keep two halibut per person: one of any size and another 27 inches or smaller. There is no annual limit.
Our experienced, friendly crew is here to help you catch them! We provide all equipment, bait, and filleting services, and fish processing is available right at the dock so you can easily ship your fresh halibut home.
In early spring, we start the season targeting feeder king salmon and halibut. Combining the two makes for an excellent Halibut & Salmon Combo, giving you a taste of both species and the chance to enjoy fresh Alaskan fish after a long winter. As the season progresses, the combo adjusts with the salmon runs, offering a true taste of Alaska’s changing summer fisheries.
