Ocean Hunter Charters
Ocean Hunter Charters
Ocean Hunter Charters welcomes you to the stunning waters of Homer.
These waters are known for Halibut, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Sockeye Salmon, Black Seabass, Cod, Lingcod, and more – with any luck, you'll have tight lines in no time. On the day of your trip, you're likely to troll and bottom fish using heavy tackle.
Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are never a bad idea to maintain your energy throughout the trip!
You'll be fishing aboard a 28' Koffler aluminum fishing boat that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has downriggers and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. What's more, this vessel is wheelchair accessible. Capt. Keith will provide rods and reels for you, as well as lures.
You will need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect. It's always wise to bring bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Rebekah SchachteleRepeat angler•
Missouri, US•Member since 20262 trips5.0VerifiedWonderful trip!
8 Hour Trip – Halibut on June 25, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 childKeith was great, when others stayed in closer, he took us out quite a ways and put us on some bigger Halibut right away. We caught our limit of any size and then went in a little ways for the ones 27" or less. We caught our limit of those pretty quick as well. While others were still out searching for their first fish we had our daily limit for all 4 of us. Weather was perfect and we couldn't ask for a better a day or experience. Thank You Keith!
Brooke Larson•California, USMember since 20255.0VerifiedGreat Captain, big fish
8 Hour Trip – Halibut/Salmon on June 21, 2026 • 4 adultsCaptain Keith was great and he definitely knows what he's doing. He's very knowledgeable and even though he shared it was an unfavorable season for fishing, he still put us on some great spots and we walked away with 9 halibut and 4 cod. The boat was clean and the trip out was gorgeous. We appreciated how straightforward he was and everything he did to ensure we got a great catch.
Ken PidgeonRepeat angler•Washington State, US•Member since 20262 trips4.3VerifiedGood Halibut fishing
8 Hour Trip – Halibut on July 16, 2026 • 4 adultsWe booked the same boat 2 days in a row 1st day full day halibut 2nd day was supposed to be salmon and halibut. On the 2nd day the majority of the day was spent on halibut and we were only given an hour and a half of trolling for salmon which is why we booked that day extra. The cost of Friday's boat was more than Thursday's boat because we were doing the salmon fishing which we really did not get to do. Capt. Keith is definitely a very nice guy he worked his butt off to get our halibut for us we were just disappointed in not really getting our salmon fishing.
Brian Reiter•Hawaii, USMember since 20265.0VerifiedCaptain Keith knows fish!
8 Hour Trip – Halibut on August 20, 2026 • 5 adultsCaptain Keith has been doing this for decades. He knows all the other boats and communicates with them regularly throughout the trip to find the best fishing spots that day. Even though the weather was rough we were able to limit on Kings and landed our share of big halibut. Can’t recommend this charter enough!
James ThurstonRepeat angler•Florida, US•Member since 20263 trips5.0VerifiedGreat charter!
8 Hour Trip – Halibut/Salmon on July 13, 2026 • 2 adultsCapt Keith was great and put in a huge effort to get us on the fish. He cared about making sure we had a great experience and he delivered! He was friendly, entertaining and such great company! It was a fun day. We look forward to our next trip back to Homer and will definitely be fishing with Capt Keith again!
Aaron Henry•Texas, USMember since 20264.7VerifiedEnjoyable trip with good captain
8 Hour Trip – Halibut/Salmon on August 2, 2026 • 1 adultwould recommend Ocean Hunters charter for small group trips. Smaller boat but adequate room for all to enjoy and chance to catch plenty of fish. Wasn't a super succssful day on the catching side but still ended up with some fish. no fault of the captain, why its called fishing not catching!
Kelly SmithRepeat angler•Missouri, US•Member since 20215 trips5.0VerifiedGREAT fishing trip
8 Hour Trip – Winter King on July 29, 2026 • 3 adultsWe had the best day out with Captain Keith! We had beautiful weather, great company, and caught our limit in salmon. Highly recommend!

8 Hour Trip – Halibut on June 29, 2026 • 2 adultsWas slow at first, but Captain Keith did his best to get us over the halibut and he did! Was definitely worth going with Keith and would do so again!!

some days you just run out of time. if the weather was better in the am that would hsve been the case and some onr lost one. hope we do better next time. i think as far as I know we were one of the only boats to land a king that day. best regards Captain Keith
Fish weren’t biting that morning, you could hear several captains on the radio trying to find where theywere biting. Captain Keith kept working on different spyand we finally landed some fish. he stay out there til we got our limits which i know he didn’t have to but we all really appreciated the extra effort he put in for us to catch our dish

Ihope u come again and the fishing is bette. I went the following day to our last spot and did great. IDK. there fish and dont bite all the time
