Discover Alaskan Adventures has a trip with your name on it along the stunning waters of Ninilchik. Having logged many hours on these tides, our cpatains can tell you all about them.

These waters are known for Halibut, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into some.

On these trips, you can expect to bottom fish using light or heavy tackle.

Trips with Discover Alaskan Adventures are great for kids, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!

You'll be welcome aboard one of our 28' Aluminum fishing boats with room for 6 passengers. It has downriggers, everything you need for a productive day on the water. There's a portable rv style restroom on board for your convenience.

Rods, reels, and tackle are covered by the charter, as well as lures.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.

It's never a bad idea to bring a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunscreen (non-spray). If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Give yourself something to look forward to and book a trip with Discover Alaskan Adventures!

    3/4 Day Trip – Full Tide Cycle on May 16, 2026 • 8 adults • 2 children

    and we still got way more fish than we expected! Chris was extremely accommodating with how late we were and the crew, Mike and Tucker, went above and beyond with turning our family fishing trip around into a fantastic experience. Our five freezers are packed and we're set for all the barbecues this summer.

    Great Experience!

    3/4 Day Trip – Full Tide Cycle on June 3, 2024 • 2 adults

    So thankful for Chris and Joey! My husband and I had an excellent time halibut fishing for the first time. Equipment and boat were in excellent condition, guys were extremely professional, and their skill high level! It was a highlight of our Alaska vacation and will be recommending Chris and the crew to anyone who wants to try halibut fishing. Joey and Chris were a wealth of facts and information that made it fun! They processed our fish right there (for a small fee) which made taking our fish with us easy peasy! We’ll be back for sure! Thanks guys!

    Great experience !

    3/4 Day Trip – Full Tide Cycle on June 22, 2025 • 2 adults

    Absolutely loved the crew! They were funny and extremely helpful with directing everybody on what to do, what to look for, how fast to reel, and the different kinds of creatures we caught that we weren’t going for! They did very well on finding a great spot for the fish and everybody got great sizes and their limit! Would very much recommend!

    Halibut and Cod Frenzy

    Halibut trip on May 11, 2025 • 2 adults

    Had a great trip catching halibut and cod. Captain Chris put us on the fish catching our halibut limit and plenty of cod. Although the water was choppy in the morning, we had a great time out in the water. Afterwards, the fish were filleted by the crew, vacuum sealed and provided to us, with an option to ship it out. Would do this same fishing trip in the future.

    3/4 Day Trip – Full Tide Cycle on July 4, 2025 • 2 adults

    Great experience! Crew was very knowledgeable, fun, and professional. We maxed out and harvested 50+ pounds of halibut. Additionally, they’ll process and freeze your fish for a cheaper rate than the processing facility in Homer. Highly recommend!

    3/4 day trip

    3/4 Day Trip – Full Tide Cycle on August 22, 2023 • 2 adults

    The seas were calm and lake like. Sun came out later. Fishing started out slow with lots of sharks on the lines but improved over time. Captain and crew were extremely nice, communicative, and helpful…seeing that everyone had a good time and got their limit. One good sized fish caught and the rest ranged a little over and under regulation size. We highly recommend this company for halibut fishing. Equipment (especially reels) seemed a little outdated but did the job in the end.
