Half Day Trip – Halibut (AM) on July 3, 2025
We had an incredible time fishing. The captain was excellent and put us onto some great fish and was very knowledgeable about the area and the different fish we caught. He gave us options to see whales if we wanted as we went out which was a nice touch. The captain was hustling the entire time to make sure we were fishing at all times and moved us around to keep the bite coming in. We brought the whole family and caught a bunch of fish in just 4 hours. Highly would recommend this if you are on a cruise ship because he picks you up right at the dock. Couldn’t be any easier to find the boat and get to business! We will 100% be back.

Half Day Trip – Halibut (AM) on June 27, 2025
We were doing an Alaskan cruise ship on the encore and wanted to go Halibut fishing. Captain Scott was AMAZING in his hospitality, instructions on how to fish, as well as how efficient everything was. He provided snacks and drinks for us, made sure we got out to the fishing spot quickly so we would have more time to fish, and also explained everything perfectly from how to fish as well as cool little facts and some history about Alaska’s fisheries. The boat was also extremely clean and looked nice and fancy haha. We also landed a giant 37in halibut and Captain Scott also took us to see some Harbor Seals and Bald Eagles at the end of our trip! 10/10 would recommend to anybody wanting to go halibut or salmon fishing in Ketchikan!!!

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.
