Heaven’s Gate Charters
Heaven's Gate Charters welcomes you to experience the thrill of fishing in Alaska!
Captain Seth strives to create a safe and fun adventure for you and your group. During the 8-hour combo trips, your main targeted species will be halibut. You will also fish for additional species including King Salmon, Silver Salmon, Lingcod, and Rockfish, depending on the season and water conditions. Expect to use techniques like trolling and bottom fishing, and you can choose a shared trip or a private experience for you and your friends.
Your boat for the day, the Dream Catcher II, is equipped with a private lavatory and heated cabin for the comfort of your full-day charter. The captain recommends that you bring covered footwear, warm clothes, and rain gear. There's plenty of storage on the boat, and you can always take layers off if necessary. Bring with you anything you want to eat or drink for the day and please have a printed and current Alaska fishing license and King Salmon stamp.
Sometimes the wind and ocean conditions prohibit a fun and productive day of fishing in Alaska. In the event that it may be rough on the water, first, the crew will brief you in the morning about what they are seeing/predicting. Second, upon determining it is safe to leave the harbor, the crew will ultimately leave the decision to you whether you feel comfortable enough for the day's activities. In other words, we won't make you go fishing in poor conditions if you don't want to, and you will receive a refund of your deposit.
Having a professional process for your catch is highly recommended. The crew will fillet any fish you bring on the boat and give you your fillets in heavy-duty compactor bags at the end of the day. We will provide you with a list of companies close to the harbor that can vacuum pack, freeze and ship your fish.
Homer sales tax is included in the price of the charter. Book your trip and make incredible memories with Heaven's Gate Charters!

Wonderful day of fishing aboard the dreamcatcher II - Seth and Kurtis were great at explaining everything and made sure the day went smoothly! I caught lots of halibut and felt like I was cranking on the reel more times than not! As someone with very little experience fishing, I would highly recommend Heaven’s Gate Charters - everything went seemlessly! Definetly the highlight of my visit to Homer! I didn’t expect to have this feeling but on the way back into Homer it had me wondering if I could fit another day of fishing into this trip!
Captain Seth and first mate Curtis made our family fishing trip in Alaska a very memorable one. They both were very knowledgeable and great with our kids getting some really nice fish aboard. We were hoping for a little more halibut but they weren’t on the bite, that’s okay though because the cod tastes great as well and the fish action never stopped! Highly recommend this duo if you’re looking for a great charter. We are definitely booking with them again when we return to Alaska.
I had a couple other Charters cancel due to high winds and not offer to reschedule. I contacted Seth and he was very honest about conditions on the day we had the trip booked. We had some flexibility in our schedule so he recommended a day when the water was not as rough and it was worth it. Although we could not keep Halibut (due to regulations) we caught many Halibut, Cod, and a few Rockfish. Would highly recommend Seth if you are looking to have a good day on the water and catch fish. Non stop action mostnof the day.

My finance and I (man and woman) took this trip for early season halibut. Knowledgeable, helpful, and fun crew. Had a great day out on the water, caught our limits, and couldn't have asked for better weather. Some of that is luck of the draw, but I think we would've had fun regardless! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a charter in Homer!
We started catching fish right off the bat. We limited on Over Halibut and Unders. Also caught plenty of Cod. Went home with sore arms and plenty of fish. Capt Seth offered to move us up to a day with good weather which we are so glad we did. I’m glad he was looking out for us.
We wanted a charter with less people and better fishing and that’s exactly what we got. Seth and Kurtis nailed it. We caught our limited in Halibut, we caught Kings and Cod. We valued our total catch at close to $1K. This charter is incredible value! Great work guys!

the whole boat of clients limited on Halibut and took home several ling cod a piece! When our first spot didnt peoduce, the captain had another spot just a short ways away that hit hot!
Heavens Gate Charters went far beyond to make fishing an exceptional. Could not have asked for a better experience or crew!
Capt Seth & mate Curtis gave us a fabulous experience fishing for Halibut & Salmon and many other species. Our group of 4 adults (mom, dad, and 2 adult sons) had great results and caught our limit on Halibut and added cod, black sea bass, and rock fish to our to our till. Mom caught the first and largest halibut!!! We had a few other fish to throw back but didn’t land any king salmon, none of the other boats we talked to at the dock today did either. We took 75.8. Lbs of fish to the processor and tonight cooked a dinner of halibut cheeks, halibut and sea bass for dinner. Yummo!! We highly recommend Capt Seth and Heavens Gate charter for your next fishing trip.
This was my second trip with Heaven’s Gate Charters and it certainly won’t be my last. Once again Captain Seth put us on prime real estate where we were able to harvest a beautiful combination of Alaska’s finest organic seafood. If you’re looking for a courteous captain and crew who prioritize safety and fun, look no further.
