Alaska Ocean Safaris invites you to experience the stunning waters of Ketchikan.

Depending on the time of year, you might hook into Chinook (King) Salmon, Coho (Silver) Salmon and Pink Salmon. Lingcod, Halibut, and whatever else takes the bait. During the trip you might be light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area like our Guided Spearfishing trips in Ketchikan. Spearfishing in Alaska for Trophy Halibut, lingcod and seabass led by the Captain/DiveMaster.

Looking to get the whole family outdoors? Kids are absolutely welcome! Snacks and drinks provided along with kid life vests.

Capt. Chris welcomes you aboard a 31' Glacier Craft aluminum fishing boat with capacity for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you along with drinks and snacks.

You will need to buy 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.

Fish Processing is handled at the dock we depart from and will start the process after we take photos of our catch so you guys are hands free and ready to continue about your trip knowing your fish is in good care and will be shipped to any desired locations on a date that works with your return home.

You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, and sunscreen (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed.

Alaska Ocean Safaris will make it easy for you to go fishing in Ketchikan. We offer round trip pick up upon request.

Caught fish!!
4hr – Salmon Charter - 11:00 AM on June 23, 20254 adults
We had an incredible experience with Chris and Alaska Ocean Safari! Captain Chris was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all our questions. He brought us to a spot where he believed the salmon were running—and he was right! We were thrilled that each of us caught a salmon. Even with cold temps and rough water, Chris made us feel safe and comfortable the entire time. His expertise and great attitude truly made the trip unforgettable. Highly recommend Chris and Alaska Ocean Safaris for an amazing Alaskan fishing adventure! 🎣🌊

Full Day Charter with Capt Chris
Salmon & Halibut Combo (All Day) on September 22, 2025
Had an amazing experience on our full day charter. We caught a ton of fish and enjoyed an exciting adventure with a couple whale sitings to add to the fun. Capt Chris kept us all busy, well fed with plenty of snacks and beverages along with some great music. Capt Chris’ team processed and boxed all our fish so getting our fish home was a breeze. This trip was awesome. Not a single detail missed. Can’t wait till this summer for another trip.
Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon
Halibut

Outstanding Day with Captain Chris
Special 4 hour trip for Krissy Gaichas on August 29, 20254 adults
What a day!!! We started the day early & we're glad we did. Seems like we caught more than the other boats with that hour lead. We caught so many fish, we decided to take the last hour & look for whales. Didn't see any whales but were still able to fish. Captain Chris was informative & worked his ass off to make sure we had fun & enjoyed ourselves. Would definitely recommend him to anyone who asked. Thanks for the great adventure!!!

4hr – Salmon Charter - 8:00 AM on August 14, 20256 adults
We had a great 1/2 day with Capt Chris learning about salmon fishing in Alaska. Very knowledgeable and easy to talk with about Alaska. Coming from Florida, we had a lot questions! The fish were biting slowly but Chris stayed after them until we had some in the boat. Very nice equipment and easy to communicate with Chris pre charter.
