Still Water Charters
Still Water Charters
Make the most of your time in Homer with a trip aboard Still Water Charters, exploring the rich waters of Kachemak Bay and the Gulf of Alaska. Your trip will be led by experienced local captains focused on delivering safe, productive, and memorable fishing experiences.
Depending on the season, you may target Halibut, Black Rockfish, Lingcod, Pacific Cod, Pollock, Salmon (Chinook, Coho, Pink, and Sockeye), Rockfish, and even Crab — with plenty of surprises possible along the way. You'll fish using proven techniques matched to the conditions, including spinning, trolling, drifting, jigging, and bottom fishing.
Families are welcome aboard and fishing together is encouraged! Kids can join the fun, and per Alaska law, children 13 and under must wear a life vest while underway — ask about available sizes. Guests are encouraged to bring snacks to stay fueled throughout the day.
Your adventure takes place aboard a well-equipped 33' ATEC Pilothouse vessel with room for up to 6 passengers. The boat features downriggers, modern electronics, all essential safety equipment, and a private onboard toilet for your comfort. All rods, reels, tackle, and lures are provided so you can focus on fishing and enjoying the experience.
Some trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates often work for tips, and a customary gratuity is 10–20%.
Before boarding, everyone will need a local fishing license, typically available online. Some species may require special tags.
We recommend bringing sunglasses, warm clothes, and rain gear. Drinks and light snacks are provided. Alcohol is allowed in moderation — no glass bottles.
Whether you're chasing trophy Halibut or enjoying a family-friendly day on the water, Still Water Charters is ready to deliver a true Alaskan fishing experience.

This trip was my first in Alaska, top notch. Our Captain Nolan, was awesome, worked very all day keeping us on fish. We nearly had a limit of halibut and released several others. Nolan also got us in rockfish along with numerous other varieties of fish. I highly recommend this charter and am already planning another trip with them next year! Great job again Nolan and thank you!!!
Captain Nolan was the best! We all caught our limits! He was so friendly and helpful - and he knew exactly where to go to catch the fish! We had an awesome fun time! We would definitely recommend taking a fishing trip with Stillwater Charters!
CPT Aaron has got the strategy and tactics figured out to get on the fish in these waters. He is relentless in his pursuit and, this shores up his passion for fishing. Highly recommend
He had a wealth of experience and knew exactly where to go. Hit our limit on rock fish for the group in 30 minutes. Definitely recommend!
the captain was awesome knew his stuff i would go again
