Bring your closest friends and family as we take you past the other local fishing fleets for a true Alaskan adventure.

The stars of the show here are the Salmon and Halibut. You’ll also target Lingcod, Rockfish and a variety of other species.

Included in the price of the trip are the top quality rods and reels, premium line from Seaguar and fishing gear from Gibbs Delta.

You can still come fishing & whale watching even if you’re coming into Alaska on a cruise. Reel Alaska Fishing Charters offer flexible start times with our trips and we will have you back at the port ready to head out with time to spare.

Also included are snacks and drinks on all trips.
You’ll need to buy and print a fishing license before you board.

    Halibut, Lingcod, Rockfish, sharks and more are reeled up everyday on this trip based out Ketchikan Alaska! You start out the day with a fast ride out of port 10-20 miles right through some of the richest whale watching grounds in South East Alaska to our fishing hot spots. We set anchor/slow drift with your fishing rod in hand- line over the side and down to the bottom of the ocean. We can finish the day with some salmon fishing instead of whales and nature if you prefer and time allows.

Member since April 2019
The captain grew up fishing in Alaska and NW Washington as a young man chasing Salmon in both the ocean and local rivers. Moving down the coast, he's fished Oregon for 6 years, then started actively freedive spearfishing and moved down to California and the Channel Islands. Before long, the captain found himself spending several years in Louisiana, getting spoiled with their amazing fishery. Then he headed to South Florida, fishing the Lower Keys and Key West for 5 years as a captain and crew. After bouncing back and forth with the seasons, Reel Alaska Fishing Charters has been back year-round in Ketchikan, Alaska since 2018. Now both local businesses and landowners, the crew has fallen in love with this amazing community and plans to spend the rest of their lives here.
