Saltwater Excursions, LLC
If you're ready to have fun fishing in Whittier, Alaska, we've got you covered with Saltwater Excursions. Having logged decades on these waters, Captain Kristen knows them forwards and backwards.
Why go far when adventure is just around the corner? Prince William Sound is only one hour from Anchorage! Experience stunning glacier-capped mountains and abundant wildlife while enjoying world-class fishing in Alaska’s bountiful waters.
These waters are known for Halibut, Salmon, Rockfish, Lingcod, and more – with any luck, it won't take long to hook into something incredible!
Your Ultimate Fishing Vessel Awaits! We operate out of the Whittier Small Boat Harbor, the closest port to Anchorage, ensuring easy access to breathtaking Prince William Sound. Our fleet includes a 31-foot SeaHawk NorthRiver and a 26-foot Offshore Duckworth, both equipped with twin engines and state-of-the-art Garmin electronics along with top notch fishing rods, reels, line and tackle.
You must purchase a fishing license before the morning of your charter in order to fish. You can purchase these online at the Alaska Department of Fish and Game website. King Salmon and Halibut require a special stamp. Halibut stamps (new in 2026) will be available the morning of your charter for $20, cash only, paid directly to Saltwater Excursions, LLC.
Make sure you bring your fishing license, warm clothes, rain gear (tops and bottoms), sunglasses, sunscreen, waterproof footwear, medications, food and drink for the day, cash tip for the deckhand and captain, good vibes, good fishing mojo and a sense of humor.
Deckhands work for tips and provide full-day (10 -11 hours) support. A standard tip is approximately $110 per person or 20% of your charter price.
Due to significant increases in operating costs this season, we are implementing a fuel surcharge and complying with new federal halibut regulations. Our goal is to remain transparent, fair. This is a variable cost and will be billed prior to trip.

Armando Machado5.0Back 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 Kojis5.0Full 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 Gang5.0Fish 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 Petersen5.0I 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!
