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.

Fantastic Day
10 Hour Trip Pre Season Special on June 4, 20266 adults
What an amazing deep sea fishing trip! The captain and crew were outstanding—friendly, professional, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire day. They worked hard to make sure everyone had a chance to catch fish and have a great experience. The boat was clean and comfortable, and the scenery out on the water was absolutely beautiful. We caught plenty of fish, had a lot of laughs, and created memories that will last a lifetime. Whether you're an experienced fisherman or a first-timer, I highly recommend this charter. I can't wait to book another trip!

Great trip on the Salty Loot!
10 Hour Trip Pre Season Special on June 26, 20254 adults2 children
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!!!

poor communication from the company was expensive for us.
10 Hour Trip Pre Season Special on June 8, 20265 adults
6 people- we paid extra to get a halibut and king salmon combo that was $100 extra per person and another $30 for the salmon stamp for the license. the captain and first mate were amazing But was not told by the office it was also a king salmon trip. They were not planning on going to the salmon grounds and “filled in” fishing that felt very touristy. the crew scrambled and filled in but i feel like I extremely overpaid and could not come back from that. again our crew was amazingly great but our trip was cut short waited time and cost us more than we wanted. we did catch halibut and the captain tried to attempt king salmon but we were no where near the salmon or was prepared to fish for them. we planed our trip around this time for that reason that was not consided by blue ice fishing. so sorry!!

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!
