Alaska King Charter provides enjoyable fishing charters out of Alaska's southernmost city - Ketchikan. A family owned and operated company, this is a place where tradition, exceptional service, and fun rule supreme. Come and enjoy the great outdoors in the remote saltwater regions of Alaska.

Choose the amount of time you want to spend on the water and get ready for an unbeatable team or family bonding experience. All Alaska King Charter's trips are customized to the anglers on board, and whether you have fished before or not they will make sure you step off the boat with a great memory and a fishing tale to tell for years to come.

You will be fishing aboard a 32' Hewes Craft boat that can take up to six guests plus the crew. Powered by twin Honda engines, the boat is perfectly suited to fish the local waters. It features a range of navigational and safety electronics to get you to the fish while staying in contact with the shore, and you will love its covered cabin area and enclosed toilet.

The main target species on your trip will be Alaska's two most famous saltwater sport fish: Salmon and Halibut. While you have probably tasted Salmon before, after fishing in Ketchikan you will notice that the fish you find in the supermarket are missing two essential aspects: the chase and the taste. There's nothing quite like bringing a huge King Salmon into the boat, and Alaska King Charters will teach you the best and most enjoyable ways of doing just that. And if you manage to hook a Halibut, you will quickly find out how this delicate-tasting fish is anything but delicate when you bring it into the boat. These monsters can reach up to 500 pounds - are you up for the challenge?

Alaska King Charter will supply you with all the gear you need to get the full Alaskan fishing experience. Just come suitably dressed for the weather and get ready for a trip to remember!

    Great lifetime memory

    4 Hour Trip – Salmon - 11:30 AM on August 7, 2026 • 8 adults

    We had to fish in 2 boats, due to regulations but aside from splitting our group, we collectively had a fantastic experience! We enjoyed talking with the crew and learning about salmon fishing and they said the previous group were catching fish and we would return there. We had salmon in minutes and reached our limit in around 2 hours! Two wonderful captains, who we will remember every time we pull fish from the freezer for a meal!!

    Limits of Salmon

    4 Hour Trip – Salmon - 11:30 AM on August 14, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a great trip with captian Austin. He was there to meet us when we got off the cruise ship. We had a beautiful short ride to our fishing spot and started catching fish right away. Austin was great entertainment between bites and the boat and equipment was excellent. Once we got back to the dock he took care of getting the fish to the processor. Could not have been a more perfect day.

    Awsome Trip! Highly Recommended

    4 Hour Trip – Salmon on July 21, 2026 • 5 adults

    Went to Alaska on a family cruise and stoped in Ketchikan for some salmon fishing! William our captain made our pickup from the cruise ship a breeze. He picked us up right at the ship and we were fishing within 15-20min. Captain William had us catching fish in no time! He was super friendly and made our trip memorable! I highly recommend Alaskan King Charter! Will definitely be using them again!

    TripHighlight of our Alaska cruise!

    4 Hour Trip – Salmon on April 25, 2025 • 5 adults

    We are traveling on a 7 day Norwegian encore cruise with a very brief stop in Ketchikan with two kids and grandparents. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with William, and we are so happy we elected to book directly with him over the other shore excursions in Ketchikan. He picked us up right at wards cove, and we hit our quota of halibut within a couple hours. William was fantastic with the kids, extremely knowledgeable, patient, and he found the best spot for halibut. We are going home with 5 halibut! Thank you William 🫶

    Great Trip! Exactly what we wanted.

    4 Hour Trip – Salmon on July 17, 2025 • 6 adults

    They made it super easy and we had a tight window since we were on a cruise boat. Met Capt Kevin at the dock where shuttle dropped us, and we had a blast caught tons of Salmon, seen whales, bears on the beach, bald eagles, and even sea lions. Everyone caught fish and had a great time!

    Amazing trip

    4 Hour Trip – Salmon on July 8, 2024 • 4 adults

    After a short 10-15!minute boat ride,Captain Mike had us on the fish. I don’t know of we had a line in the water for 5 minutes before the first fish was on. My family had a blast. I think we caught between 15-20 salmon. Kept 2 really nice king salmon. The largest, besides the one that got off was 16-18 pounds I’d guess. I’d highly recommend these guys. I hope to come back soon!
