Get the absolute most of your time in Ketchikan by booking a cruise ship charter with To The Limit Sportfishing. Customize your private guided fishing trip for your specific time and target species, such as Salmon, Halibut, and Rockfish.
Why book with To The Limit Sportfishing? Simply put, fishing is my passion, it’s not my job! I’ll do my absolute best to give you an unforgettable experience. I am your charter captain, the owner and operator of To The Limit Sportfishing and I personally plan the trip for your specific group. With over 40 years experience fishing in and around Ketchikan, Alaska, I know where, how and what to fish for given the time of year and conditions.

I've specialized in fishing cruise ship passengers coming to Ketchikan for over 17 years. You’ll enjoy a fully private fishing trip with your group of up to 6 people. Book a 6 hour charter and get 50% more time on the water for just a bit more money. (Not offered if booked through the cruise ship directly) The two extra hours can leave enough time to target both Salmon and Halibut and of course sightseeing. 

I'll put fish on your line and in the boat. It's what I do.
The Mazie Grace is a proven Alaskan fishing machine. Named after my oldest daughter, the 31' Uniflite is a comfortable stable platform, ideal for fishing the calm or choppy waters of Alaska’s Inside Passage. The twin 385hp main inboard engines coupled with a 25hp autopilot equipped trolling motor provide fast travel and efficient fishing.  The 11ft beam and low deadrise keep the MG stable while on anchor or trolling. 
Its huge fishing deck offers tons of room for landing double, triple and even quad hookups of salmon, halibut and bottom fish.  The comfortable, fully enclosed heated cabin is outfitted with a private stand-up head, commercial grade fishing electronics by Furuno, Garmin and Standard Horizon. All safety gear is fully functional and highly maintained

4 Hour Trip – Salmon (AM) on June 16, 2025

We felt like family on Ty’s boat! We were immediately on salmon and have fresh fish being delivered soon. Don’t hesitate to book with Ty… through his taxi connection from the ship and to the water, its all A+!
