If you’re up for a real Alaskan adventure, join BLN Charters and let them take you on a trip of a lifetime! The captain and the crew will take you out to the world-class fishing spots around Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet, where you’ll get to battle some of Alaska’s most prized fish species.

You’ll head out on one of their two 37’ Tollycraft offshore sportfishing boats, that can take up to 6 anglers each per trip. They’re powered by twin 380 HP John Deer and 430 HP Cummins engines, so you’ll get to the fishing grounds in the blink of an eye! There’s heating, a standard flushing toilet, and comfortable seating on board so you ride out in style.

This part of the world boasts some incredible nature, and diverse wildlife. On your trip, you’ll be able to see whales, seals, otters, sea lions, and birds along the way. There’s a variety of fish species inhabiting these waters, so expect to come across Halibut, Rockfish, Lingcod, and Salmon.

All of the equipment you’ll need for a productive trip will be waiting for you on board. You’ll get rods, reel, and terminal tackle, as well as a range of artificial lures. The crew will be more than happy to clean and fillet your catch for you, so you’ll get a lovely meal out of your trip once you return to shore.

Everything that’s left to do is get a fishing license, and pack some clothes, food, and drinks, and you’re ready! Kids are welcome on the boat, so if you want to make some nice memories with your children, don’t hesitate to bring them.

Find a trip you like, and book BLN Charters for your next fishing excursion!

Living in Homer Alaska from a young age, the sea is part of our livlihood here. After working 5 years as Mate for the best captains in the harbor I learned the waters and finally have my own ship, the F/V Dilligaf. Looking forward to take you on a world class fishing adventure in wild Alaska.
