Armando MachadoMember since 20255.0Back to Back Days Fishing (July 21 and 22, 2025)
Halibut - Multi-Species Charter on July 21, 2025Absolutely one of the best fishing experiences we have ever had. Easy and quick booking with Kristen. She was always available to answer our questions. Captain Kelly and deckhand Brian were a great crew. Boat was comfortable. Gear was in great condition. The weather was beautiful for 2 days and we limited on Halibut, Salmon, Yellow Eye and caught plenty of Cod and Rockfish. They were also helpful in getting the fish to the processor for shipping back to US. If we ever get back to Alaska we would absolutely book with SaltWater Excursions.
Paul KojisMember since 20255.0Full day charter for halibut and rockfish
Halibut - Multi-Species Charter on August 23, 2025Amazing day of fishing with the perfect captain and deckhand. We were extremely happy with Saltwater Excursions. Not only did they know where the fish were biting they were able to give us a guided tour of the area with all of the glaciers. They handled all of the details and definitely went above and beyond our expectations.
Bill GangMember since 20255.0Fish On !!!!
Halibut - Multi-Species Charter on July 12, 2025We had a fantastic time and the boat and crew were very accommodating and knowledgeable in getting us on fish rather quickly. We caught many different species in various locations and saw the beauty of AK as well. We will return again next year as this is a fantastic charter we would like to do every year if possible
Hollyanne PetersenMember since 20255.0I keep going Back every year!
Halibut - Multi-Species Charter on August 22, 2025I have yet to have a bad experience fishing PWS with Saltwater Excursions. I have gone out with friends, Family (Mom LOVES Capt. Kristen!), and even rented the whole boat for an employee bonus day out of the office. I recommend Saltwater Excursions to everyone who asks who I fish with. FISH ON!
