Alaska Affordable Adventures

Sometimes it really is all in the name. With Alaska Affordable Adventures this is highly accurate. Come have an Affordable Adventure with either of our 2 certified captains. Captain Anthony Lively has been recreational fishing his entire life, and commercially for over a decade. He loves sharing his passion and he loves taking people out to experience the productive waters Alaska has to offer. Captain Star Argo has been fishing her entire life as well, commercially fishes/dives, and shares the same passions.

You’ll spend the day aboard either a 22’ Bayliner that holds 4 anglers, or a 30’ Krutop that holds 6 anglers comfortably. When trolling, you’ll have 3-4 lines in the water at once, so you can all get in on the action! All vessels have safety and navigational equipment on board, as well as a small bathroom.

Get ready for a fishing adventure of a lifetime. There’s going to be something exciting for everyone! You can expect to come face to fin with a Chinook, Coho, Pink Salmon, and Halibut. Other species are optional and discussed at the time of booking.

Top-quality rods and reels are included for all the types of fishing we offer. There are even left-handed trolling and bottom fishing rods. On half-day trips, snacks and drinks are provided. On full day trips, snacks, drinks, and sandwiches are prepared for you – let the captain know which flavor sandwich you’d like before the day.

To maximize our time on the water, please purchase a fishing license from ADFG prior to your trip. After the trip, the captain will take you to the nearest processing facility. You can have your fish packed, smoked, fillet, whatever you want, and shipped worldwide for a small fee that is not included in the price of your charter.

There’s no time to wait! Book a trip with Alaska Affordable Adventures today for a fantastic fishing trip. You’ll love the fishing and being surrounded by beautiful scenery, we look forward to giving you a trip of a lifetime.

"I've been an Alaskan commercial and sport fisherman for over a decade. Fishing is my passion and I love being on the water." Captain Anthony started fishing back in 2005 as a commercial fisherman and that’s when he fell in love with it all. He turned his passion for commercial fishing into a passion for sports fishing and decided to become a captain. He has a pure love of fishing and gets a kick out of seeing his clients reeling in fish. Simply put, Captain Anthony lives for fishing and being on the water and can't wait to share this passion with you.
