Review of Ketchikan’s private fishing charter, with salmon, halibut, gear, cruise pickup, pricing, guides, comfort, and booking advice.

“We felt good about our trip because Captain Mike had 5 Stars, but when we got to the dock it wasn’t Captain Mike it was someone else. Our Captain that day was very kind with great manners but he did not know where the fish was located that day. We did try three different places he thought maybe they were located. For the money we paid this wasn’t good. I’m thinking, maybe Captain Mike didn’t care enough about us catching to share this information with the captain who took us out that day. Just not sure to be honest. But for sure, their excuse of TIDE issues just wasn’t the…”

Review of Ketchikan salmon and halibut fishing, with boat details, pricing, catches, weather tips, licenses, and advice on who should book.

“This trip was a disaster from the beginning. Captain Tim was expecting 3 not 4 people in our confirmed reservation. He was prepared to take us on a 6 hour halibut trip instead of the 4 hour salmon trip we had booked. Tim attempted to take us 4-5 miles off shore, but the seas were VERY rough and he kept saying, "I've never seen it like this before". Our boat was being tossed around to the point that I feared if it got much worse Tim would not be able to get us back safely. I asked to turn around and stay closer to the bay. With four lines in…”

“My husband and friends wanted to fish in Alaska while on a cruise. I found Ketchikan's Finest Fishing Charter on line and called. The Captain/owner was friendly, informative and overall terrific about helping me to set everything up. Captain Tony met us at the dock - no shuttle needed. The guys were on the boat within 10 minutes and catching fish shortly after. They had an awesome time!! We can't speak highly enough about their experience. Again, they were dropped back at the ship at the end. Fish processing was quick and we are now waiting for our receipt of fish caught (just returned from the cruise).”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 49 reviews · 6 hours (approx.) · from $750

Review of Ketchikan’s six-hour Alaska King Charter salmon trip, with private fishing, cruise pickup, costs, catches, and booking tips.

“We had Kevin as our captain, who was amazing and fully of local knowledge. When we started out a little slow due to the tidal waters going out, you could see his frustration to the slow start. We soon hauled in 10 Silver Salmon and 2 Rock Fish. We caught 2x that amount, but those Silver's are slippery! We also had a Bald Eagle flying no more than 10 feet off the deck of the boat. Incredible day on the water! Highly Recommend this outfit and ask for Kevin!! Stay away from the Cruise Line tours - book on your own for a personalized and more exciting experience!”
