    Captain Joe delivers!

    Full Day Trip on June 29, 2025 • 2 adults

    My son and I had an incredible day out on the water with Captain Joe. He made it a great experience for us two at a reasonable rate and delivered on everything! We were staying at a vrbo and only had one car, so Joe picked us up in the morning so the rest of the family had a vehicle while we were out fishing most of the day. He had good coffee, snacks and a full lunch, plus some delicious smoked salmon on the way back. We hit a few different spots and we both landed some giant Kings! Cleaned and sealed, we’re headed home with A LOT of salmon! Thanks for the incredible memories, Joe, you’re a great man, very kind. We pray for God’s continued blessings on you and your family! If you get the chance to book Joe, do it! You’ll have your own amazing memories for a lifetime.

    Great day fishing and exploring Sitka

    Special 8 hours trip for Lauralee Best on June 15, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Joe was great. He picked us up at our cruise ship and took us to his boat. Once on the water, it didn’t take long for us to get our catch. Two king salmon. Then we went exploring on the water went to an island filled with birds saw puffins, eagles and many whales on our adventure. We were also able to see our ship from the water. So cool. Captain Joe kept in contact with us before the trip and supplied drinks snacks and lunch. He made sure we were back on the ship with time to spare. Will definitely use him again next time we’re in Sitka.

    Great Alaskan Experience - I'm now Hooked on fishing charters!!!

    Special 4 hour trip for Clarence S on July 28, 2026 • 1 adult

    We were on an Alaskan cruise and I decided to do a fishing charter in the Last Frontier. When I saw the cruise ship prices, I turned to Fishing Booker and selected Capt Joe of Shelikof Adventures. We had excellent communication and he told me what to expect and advised me early on to get a fishing license. Also since I was on a cruise ship, I was unable to take my catch back, so he assured me he would make arrangements to ship my catch back home! I was excited when the day finally arrived, Capt Joe promptly picked me up from the cruise terminal and away we went. Capt Joe explained everything and gave a brief about the salmon and other fish I may catch. The salmon were a bit late coming in this particular year but I managed to tag out with salmon. I did catch a ling cod, that was a struggle to land but we had to let it go as it was too big to keep. Once I had tagged out, Capt Joe was kind enough to do a tour around the area, I was able to see different cliffs and we stopped by a bird sanctuary where we saw puffins and other birds. Had an excellent time on this trip. Captain Joe unhooked the fish for me, I also want to mention that I am a novice fisherman, I've only been on two charters in Florida. The good Captain was very patient with me and took the time to teach me about being a good angler, he cemented my passion for charter fishing and I plan to do more charters in my home state of Texas. Finally he accommodated me as a single angler and cruise ship passenger. He got me back with plenty of time to spare to get back on ship. Whatever you circumstance I highly recommend Shelikof Adventures and Captain Joe!!!
