Step aboard the largest boats in the fleet—a 32’ aluminum charter built or a 30’ custom aluminum charter Boat for comfort, space, and a great day on Puget Sound. With room for up to six guests, it’s ideal for families, first-time anglers, and seasoned fishermen alike. Twin 300HP Yamaha engines deliver a fast, smooth ride, so you spend more time fishing and less time getting there.
The boats are designed so everyone can be part of the experience. A full walk-around deck lets you follow the action from any angle, while generous storage keeps gear out of the way. Inside, there’s comfortable seating for all passengers and a private onboard bathroom, making it easy for guests of all ages to relax and enjoy the trip.
You’ll target iconic Pacific Northwest salmon—king (Chinook), coho (silver), and pink—using proven techniques like trolling and mooching. Whether it’s your first time holding a rod or you’ve fished for years, the crew will guide you through every step. When a fish hits, you’re in the fight.
Between catches, take in the scenery. Puget Sound often delivers unexpected highlights, from seals surfacing nearby to whales passing in the distance.
At the end of the trip, the captains clean and fillet your catch, so you leave with fresh salmon ready for a true local meal.
Dress in layers and bring rain gear. Weather can change, but the boat offers plenty of shelter to keep you comfortable.
This trip combines fishing, wildlife, and time on the water into one experience—easy to enjoy, exciting to be part of, and memorable for every guest on board.

What an amazing day on the water! Captain Carey did an outstanding job putting us on the fish. Six of us limited out with 12 salmon in just two hours! We know that’s certainly not the norm, but everything came together perfectly—the time of year, the weather, and, most importantly, Captain Carey knowing exactly where to put us. He is phenomenal at what he does and makes sure everyone on the boat has a great time from start to finish. We fish a lot, and this was easily one of the best fishing trips we’ve ever had! Thank you, Captain Carey, for an unforgettable day! DB
it was my sons 18th birthday and he wanted to catch some salmon so we booked a trip with Seattle Soortfishing Charters. Captain Mike was just a down to earth, knowledgeable guide who went above and beyond for the six of us. We were consistently on the fish and brought in some dogfish (and tossed them high and far once off the hook😂), and tons of Kings and Coho. You always want to create memorable experiences for your kids and this was definitely one that none of us will forget. I would not hesitate to book Captain Mike and Seattle Sportfishing Charter again - we had a blast!
Our afternoon salmon charter with Seattle Sportfishing Charter and Captain Cary could not have been more perfect for my husband, myself and our two college-aged boys! We all had a blast catching Coho + King salmon throughout the afternoon. We had never fished for salmon before but Captain Cary never stopped watching our lines and giving us pointers the entire trip. We all loved his personality, his boat and our time spent out on Puget Sound. I would recommend Seattle Sportfishing Charter to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience fishing for salmon in Seattle!

we had such a wonderful trip, they started out cloudy and when we casted the first line out the sun began to cut through the clouds. This was the wife first time ever fishing and she was able to check her limit on Coho which was amazing. Captain Cary was wonderful gave us tips and information. He was wonderful with the 2 kids on board and let them help out whenever he could. Everyone was able to catch their limit on the boat. Would highly recommend booking this trip if you are near seattle, doesnt matter if you are a pro or beginners, it is a great experience.
Chose a 4 hour salmon trip for a party of 6 with Capt Cary Hofman out of Seattle. 15 minutes into this charter it was game on! Cary had us catching king (mostly) and coho salmon 2 at a time for 3 hours straight. Honestly lost count of the number of King salmon caught and released. Put 3 nice Coho on ice for our trip home. Cary was super fun to be with, highly motivated, patient, polite, and informative. We felt very fortunate to be in his boat could not recommend his services enough. Awesome trip!

Went out with Cary Hofmann with Seattle Sportfishing Charter and had an incredible day! The boat and all of the equipment was top notch and Cary was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to fish with. We will definitely be back fishing with him in the future.
Did a lot of research on salmon fishing before comong out to Seattle. Selected Captain Cary based on prior good reviews, and he still managed to exceed expectations. Cary is knowledgeable, friendly, and works constantly to keep you on the fish. The acruon was non-stop on a day that others were having trouble. Caught or limit of Coho and many latge King that were fun to catch but had to be released.

This was our first charter and our family had the best time! Planned this for my husband's Father's Day gift and everything from the booking process to leaving to dock with our catch ran smooth. Cary was easy to communicate with and was very kind. His charter is kid friendly, so if you're thinking about bringing the kids, do it! Highly recommend and will definitely book again in the future.
Best afternoon all year. Captain very experienced. Everyone on the boat caught fish. Will book again. Highly recommend. Our Captain did most of the work for us - never made us feel like we didnt know what we were doing. Boat was clean, organized and very professional in the management of the boat. The boat captain made sure everyone had a chance to catch fish.
Captain Connor was really great and patient with 4 new people to salmon fishing and my 90 year old Dad. Lots of action, lots of fish kept and some got away, and had to let 5-6 kings go! My 35-year old birthday boy even got a 20-25 lbs king that we let go. Best birthday gift this fishing trip my son told me. Priceless!

thanks JB! glad you and your family had a great day!
Captain Cary is truly the best — he made our experience so wonderful!! We did the afternoon 4-hour trip and it was a perfect amount of time for us, perfect weather, and we all caught a ton! Had to throw back a bunch of king salmon but we each caught 2 coho which was the max we were legally allowed to. Captain Cary really knows where to take you and what equipment to use, and he’s so nice. At the end of the trip he cleaned it all and cut it up for us to take home and we had it for dinner + shared with our friends and family. We all left saying we had even more fun than we thought we would, and we would definitely book with Cary again!!

thank you Tara! it was great spending the afternoon with you and your family! your grandma was the best and I really enjoyed the trip

Captain Cary Hofmann has been fishing ever since he can remember, and his passion took him Salmon fishing all over the Pacific Northwest. After a while, he decided to turn this enthusiasm into a calling and so he became a charter captain in 2013. Capt. Cary loves talking about everything fish-related, and always tries his best to teach his customers something new.
