Salmon and halibut charter-private
If you’re ready to love fishing in Ketchikan, we’ve got you covered with Ketchikan Salmon Charter.
Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, Rockfish, and more can be found in these waters, depending on when you go.
Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Reggi welcomes you aboard a 29’ Aluminum fishing that can carry up to 10 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.
You’ll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you.
You might need to purchase a local fishing license before the trip. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
Some essentials to bring are bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). If you’d like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, time to hit the water with Ketchikan salmon charter!

4 hour – Private Salmon Charter
Halibut v Salmon
My kids went on this fishing trip and had a great time…catching four halibut and feeding an eagle in flight which was fantastic. The only thing is the name of the tour which I booked is a misnomer. It isn’t Salmon season so they weren’t fishing for Salmon. Also, the cost is pretty high and no food is offered at all. Other than that…it’s fabulous!

So pleased with the trip we added to it.
Captain William and his son provided an amazing experience. They made adjustments to provide us the best experience they could. We were able to limit out on halibut and caught salmon and cod as well. I definitely recommend this company.

4 hour salmon charter with captain William and son.
Captain William and his son, Reggie, provided an excellent experience. They provided just the right amount of support while facilitating independence on this excursion. Their expertise was evident, with us catching our limit for 4 people quickly, with plenty of time to spare. They were pleasant, friendly, and easy going. Would 100% recommend this crew to anyone in, or traveling through the area!!!

Beware ! Deadliest Catch Seas
I NEVER write reviews especially bad ones. I take up with the person and never use that person again. But I feel I must warn others of this charter. I reached out to the owner of the boat the day prior to our fishing trip with a picture of the upcoming forecast. The report said dangerous seas. The owner assured me that we wouldn't be affected because we would be fishing in between the mountains in protected seas. The waves/swells would be maybe 1 to 2 foot. It was raining when we arrived and very windy. When we went out the captain couldn't even troll because the kept losing steering because the wind was so strong and turning the boat. It was like the deadliest catch out there that day. So scary and terrible. I fish a lot, and I was scared! I texted the owner and told him about the dangerous conditions. The charter was $1,690 for 6 hours. I paid a $290 deposit in advance. I told him he shouldn't have had us come out and there was no way we could fish in these conditions He said I'll just charge you $1,200 instead of $1,400 after only and hour of being out there. I finally agreed upon paying $900 ($1,190 in total) for less than 2 hours. Honestly he shouldn't have charged me a penny. He had us go out in that weather assuring me that we would be in protected seas. That was not the case. He just wanted our money , obviously. I should have went with my gut and canceled all together but I didn't want to do that last minute to someone. I trusted the owner that we would be in protected seas.

We went salmon fishing earlier today and had a great time! The crew was even accommodating of our three-year-old. The scenery is beautiful and we caught a couple of fish. Highly recommend.
