Blue Ice Alaska Charters – Salty Loot
Blue Ice Alaska Charters welcomes you to the stunning waters of Seward. With Captain Michael at the helm, you’re in knowledgeable and experienced hands.
Halibut, Black Rockfish, Rockfish, Lingcod, Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and more are in the cards, depending on the time of year.
You can expect to do some fishing with heavy tackle, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there’s one on board. Also, remember to bring snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty stomach!
You’ll step aboard a 34’ Armstrong Luxury catamaran that can carry up to 6 passengers. It has downriggers and everything else you need for a productive day on the water. There’s a toilet on board for your convenience.
Capt. Michael will supply rods and reels for you, as well as lures.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Before coming aboard, you may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. 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.
Don’t leave home without a hat, sunglasses, bottled water, and sunblock (non-spray). Drinks are included, free of charge. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, just be sure to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
If there’s more you’d like to know about fishing with Blue Ice Alaska Charters, feel free to send Capt. Michael a message down below.

10 Hour Trip – Multispecies Special
Great trip on the Salty Loot!
Captain Joe and Deckhand Jake did an excellent job of taking our party of six out on the Salty Loot, including our 11 year old daughter and 9 year old son. The boat ride to the fishing grounds was a bit bumpy, but Joe made us all feel safe and relatively comfortable. The boat ride was well worth it as we cought our limit of halibut. Joe and Jake were very thorough with explaining the techniques and answering all of our questions. They were also respectful when the kids got a bit green in the face. After catching our limit of halibut we were taken to a spot with an incredible black rockfish bite. To finish up the trip we came across a pod of orcas while boating back in! What a great day of fishing and wildlife! I highly recommend Captain Joe and Deckhand Jake on the Salty Loot!!!

Bites All Day
Where to start, no dull moments ... Our Captain Joe and our First Mate Jake were both accommodating and informative during the entire 10 hour experience. They partnered well with one another and integrated perfectly with our group of six. Salty Loot is a well kept and well stocked boat that includes a head (restroom), sink with fresh water, heated cabin, microwave, plenty of storage space and ensures all safety needs. The captain and crew take care of baiting all required rods and guiding clients through procedures of next steps depending on your fishing location around the area. Fish on! After your catch, the crew will clean your fish during the sail back to port where you are allowed additional options including shipping your catch directly to your residence. Thank you team!

Great Alaska Day!
Captain Mike and Jake were great! There was a delay getting started but Mike was very communicative and open about the issue. We got on our way and snagged a few random fish right away! Mike and Jake were good company and we enjoyed visiting as we waited for bites. We appreciated that they let us fish to our comfort level - no experience to experienced. We caught 7 rockfish and 3 halibut as well as many throw backs. We even saw a whale! It was a great day at sea!

Highlight of our Alaska trip!
Our family of 6 had a great time with Captain Bub on the Salty Loot! We are all fishing novices but still managed to catch near our limit and were able to see various wildlife (orca, humpbacks, sea lions, & puffins) en route to our fishing spots. It was a day to remember!
