Inside the comfortable heated cabin is ample seating for 6 passengers with large windows for easy viewing of the great scenery. There is a private restroom on board that is accessed from the back deck. The Bella Vita is outfitted with an inflatable life raft, top of the line fishing gear, state of the art electronics and navigation equipment for finding those secret spots where all the fish hide. Your trip on the Bella Vita will be one you'll never forget!

No experience necessary! Our Captain will help you with every aspect of catching fish and having a blast at the same time! Since there is a maximum of 6 clients there is lots of one on one time between yourself and the captain.

Homer Fish Processing can vacuum seal and freeze your fish after we have filleted it. They can also package it to take back on the plane with you or they can ship it to you after you have arrived home.

Great Halibut Fishing Trip with Central Charters Captain Jordan on the Bella Vita
Half Day Trip – Halibut Fishing on June 8, 20262 adults

We had an amazing halibut fishing experience with Captain Jordan on the Bella Vita today! Everything about this charter was excellent... clean, fast, comfortable boat with a very professional, knowledgeable and good natured Captain that made sure we were on fish and worked hard to ensure that everyone on the boat got their limit. He was amazing and quick to help get everyone's hook baited, fish in, and hook rebaited... even when at one point everyone seemed to have a fish on their line at once. Thank you Captain Jordan and Central Charters!

Amazing Trip
Half Day Trip – Halibut Fishing on August 27, 20262 adults

this was an absolutely amazing experience. I recommend this charter and this boat, particularly to anybody we had a great time. Captain was absolutely amazing. He was by himself, didn’t have a deck hand, and he handled us all professionally quickly, and we all caught our limit. Love it I will be back next year to fish again for sure.

Great trip!!!
3/4 Day Trip – Halibut Fishing on August 21, 20262 adults

We had an awesome trip on the Bella Vita, with Captain Jordan! We traveled about 24-25 miles out and he put us right on top of the fish. All six of us got our limit of nice Halibut and some of us caught Cod also. We couldn’t of had a better day. We would definitely recommend Central Charters for fishing out of Homer. We will go again if we make it back to Homer.
