Great late season fishing

5.00We had a great time fishing with Reggie! It was late in the season, so we were warned well in advance of our trip we might not catch much of anything. We decided to go out anyway, and we are glad we did! We hooked a few halibut, dog sharks, and rockfish in 4 hours. Reggie was a great guide for our trip and helped us learn about the area he calls home. We definitely recommend this experience!
Great day fishing

5.00We had a great fishing trip with Capt. Justin. Fishing was a little slow to start but his knowledge of the area and expertise paid off as he got us into halibut and cod. I would definitely go out with these guys again next time I'm in Ketchikan.

5.00Very fun, exciting fishing experience! We caught more fish than I’ve ever seen. We had over 40 lbs of salmon to ship home. We also caught halibut but not lucky enough to get a keeper. Kevin was a great guide! Highly recommend. We booked this trip on our own, not through the cruise excursions and had no issues.
Highlight of our Alaska cruise!

5.00Highlight of our Alaska cruise. "Reg," who answered the phone, had a serious sense of service. Assured us our captain would be flexible for us if the seas were rough. (They were not rough!) Kevin, our captain, was the man! Knowledgeable, generous, hardworking, fun. And FedEx tells me our fillets are showing up here in Texas today!

1.00It was not worth the money. Very expensive excursion - $2000 for the experience. In total, 3 people caught 4 fish. The captain could not go to better places to catch fish because the seas were too rough. In that case, the excursion should have been cancelled and a refund made. Further, this is the first off shore excursion that parties have had to purchase a fishing license. It’s always include. Viator really ripped us off on this one.

5.00We booked this charter hoping to catch different fish species, enjoy stunning views, and maybe spot some whales and bald eagles — and that’s exactly what we got! We even fed a bald eagle, yes we fed a bald eagle!! Ian, our captain, made the whole experience truly wonderfull. Highly recommended!

5.00Captain’s experience helped us to catch many salmon. The first mate, his dog Cho, spotted whales and eagles for us.

5.00We had an amazing time! Kevin was great the whole trip. Even picked up up and dropped off right at our ship. He was very organized even when it got chaotic 😊. Free whale watching came with trip, too! Salmon, halibut and some others, too! I would definitely go fishing with them again!
