    Great Day, caught limit on some nice halibut

    4 Hour Trip – Salmon (AM) on June 29, 2025 • 4 adults

    Folks, this was my 2nd trip fishing in Alaska, Capt Trent, his boat and equipment are first class. He was very easy to communicate with. I found everything was “AS ADVERTISED” He met my group at the pier and we were fishing within 45 minutes of arriving. Captain was a very knowledgeable and personable. He gave great advice and assistance. I had 2 new to deep water fishing and he had us on fish early, Really enjoyed the fishing banter and making a new “fisher friend” I HIGHLY recommend CAPT TRENT to anyone fishing in Alaska or Hawaii during the winter! Capt, kudos from the “Old Retired Soldier”, the Marine and the kid. WE WILL FISH AGAIN THANKS FOR EVERYTHING. AWESOME JOB

    Our favorite excursion in Alaska!

    6 Hour Trip – Combo (AM) on June 11, 2025 • 6 adults

    Captain Trent was amazing! From the first question I had even before booking to the moment we stepped of his boat, the whole experience was wonderful. He quickly and thoroughly answered all questions before we booked. He communicated everything we needed to know and had us ready for a great day of fishing. His boat and equipment were in pristine condition and easy to use. We had a great day on the water and his insight and knowledge helped us have a great day of fishing. He took care of the process to have our catch shipped home and we're looking forward to enjoying it post vacation. I'd highly recommend Capt. Trent and Ketchikan Sport Fishing Charters.

    Excellent experience

    6 Hour Trip – Combo (AM) on July 9, 2024 • 6 adults

    Came in on a Princess charter to find our captain waiting on the dock. He had his boat parked just 200 feet from the cruise dock. He motored us out to the fishing area. We baited and dropped and first fish hit in 30 seconds. We caught and released 25 halibut before keeping our limits. Lost track of how many pacific cod we put in the boat. Our captain was right in top of it all. Baited hooks, untangled lines, coached our less experienced guys. Whatever the need, he was right on it. I would recommend him to anyone. I will hire him again myself. He’s a great guy and a great value for the price.

    Captain Trent

    4 Hour Trip – Salmon (AM) on July 29, 2025 • 5 adults

    This was a wonderful experience, I have no complaint or bad thing about this trip, only way it could have gotten better was to have steak and cook the salmon right there on the boat. Captain Trent is a down right good guy, I felt like he was a friend I had for years, I look forward to seeing him again.

    Great Time

    5 Hour Trip – Halibut (AM) on June 22, 2025 • 4 adults

    Captain Trent and his Team are top notch. As we knew salmon fishing for Kings would be a challenge, we opted for more action reeling Halibut and a variety of other species out of 300ft of water. Caught 9 different species which is what we were after (odd and unique fish we don’t catch at home)!

    Amazing Alaska fishing experience!

    6 Hour Trip – Combo (AM) on July 17, 2024

    We booked with Captain Trent and had the best day ever! He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and fun to spend the day with. He was amazing with our kids and made sure that they had everything they needed to catch the biggest fish of their lives. The boat was very nice, clean and comfortable and we can’t say enough good things about our entire experience. We will be back to book multiple days in the future!!

    Amazing fishing and experience with Captain Trent

    5 Hour Trip – Halibut (AM) on August 7, 2024

    Captain Trent is a veteran that knows all the spots. We hit our limit on halibut and got to do some really fun rockfish fishing. The action was continuous, the scenery was amazing, the boat was beautiful with a smooth ride, and Captain Trent is a genuinely nice and extremely knowledgeable and humble man. We booked again with him for next summer

    Great way to spend a quick Ketchikan stop

    4 Hour Trip – Salmon (AM) on July 28, 2026 • 4 adults

    We had just enough time at a Ketchikan cruise stop to get a four hour fishing trip in. Trent was very knowledgeable on where to find salmon and it was fun talking to him about his fishing experiences and the area. The boat was close to where we docked and he gave good instructions on how to get to his boat. We ended up keeping eight fish - not bad for about three hours of fishing (after travel time)!

Great Fishing Day!
6 Hour Trip – Combo (AM) on July 20, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

Booked with Captain Trent outside of the options available to us on our cruise. Captain Trent made sure we knew where to meet him in the morning, a short 8 min walk from our cruise ship. He then dropped us 2 minutes away from our cruise ship after the trip. Our group was excited for the numerous fish we caught, and the multiple fish species we encountered on this trip. Captain Trent was also very patient with our two kiddos and put them on a bunch of fish. Such an awesome day, weather was great, fishing was great, our group really enjoyed our time. Mahalo Captain Trent!
