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!

Awesome first day in Alaska experience
Hal/Sal Early Bird! (Exclusive) on May 15, 20262 adults3 children
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.
Reported catch:
Cod
Halibut
Chinook Salmon

Early Bird Halibut/Salmon Combo on May 23, 20262 adults
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!

Great Charter
Early Bird Halibut/Salmon Combo on May 23, 20262 adults
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!

Memorable Trip with Captain Seth
Halibut Combo (Shared) on July 26, 20252 adults
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.
