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!

Halibut Combo (Shared)
Memorable Trip with Captain Seth
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.

Captain Seth and deckhand Chase were wonderful
Amazing trip, loads of fish and keeper Lings without going way out. Seth took the time to slow down and whale watch on the way back in. Had fellow boat friends going out at same time and Seth fished for 2 hours longer than the other boat. I’ll definitely try to get a spot on this boat next time in Homer. Thanks for an awesome time.

The Guys Know Their Stuff!
Both the Captain Seth and his deck hand Curtis were the best hosts. They were well equipped and knew how to work the tides for the best results. We pulled in a few King Salmon and everyone got their “overs” limit (sadly only one is allowed) on Halibut. We threw back plenty of nice size Halibut trying for the “unders”.

Fun times!
We went on this trip with my three kids, the fishing started a little slow and picked up over the morning. Seth and Curtis were patient and interactive with our kids and made sure we had a great time. We saw Orca, otters, a Salmon Shark, and a harbor seal as well as catching some beautiful fish!

Great trip
It was my wife and I first time to fish for halibut. Caught alot of fish. We did the combo trip and Seth and Curtis were on the fish. Definitely book again when we come back. They even called and had our fish picked up by local processor to vacuum seal, bag, and freeze our fish so we can take home. Loved it.
