Juneau Adventures – 30' 

This was our second time out fishing with Juneau Adventures' Captain Jan, and it did not disappoint. We booked an 8hr combo trip and it was amazing. The FV Petryl 30 was comfortable and well equipped giving us a swift and smooth run to our fishing spots. We were on some cohos (silver salmon) shortly after. Deckhand Owen was great, courteous and super helpful with what we needed. He had the poles ready and was awesome answering our 10yr old kid's questions. We caught our limits on halibut, lots of salmon and rock fish. This crew was amazing and helped us make this trip unforgettable.

Captain Terry and Talon did an awesome job finding the fush we caught and helping with getting them sent home for us. Everyone on the trip caught fish. Great people to visit with and learn about the area. Would highly recommend these folks for your next fishing trip in Juneau!

No one in my family is an angler, but on our Alaska cruise I still wanted to fish. Capt. Terry had a taxi waiting for me right off the boat and at the pier to take us back. I learned that fishing takes some work, and technique that we were trying to figure out. The crew was there helping all 6 of us to figure it out, and letting us learn how to do it instead of just reeling in a fish they caught. It would have been nice to come home with more fish, but it is fishing after all, not catching. I absolutely loved my day on the water, and I would definitely go back and book another trip with Capt. Terry. Next time, I’ll just make sure to spend a few days.

We had a crew of 4 and were taken out by Captain John and deckhand Dylan for a half day salmon trip. Captain John was there to greet us at the dock and was very friendly and welcoming. We went out on the 50/50 boat a 30’ which had plenty of room for fishing and warmth inside. We made it out to the fishing area within 15 minutes and had 4 rods in the water right away. The fishing was a little slow as we saw other boats not bringing in fish either and whales had entered the fishing area. While it was amazing to see whales, they do not help fishing. About halfway through the day my son hooked into a nice fish that was a great fight! He ended up landing a 30” King salmon, the biggest fish of his life! I caught a smaller chum salmon but was still fun to catch! My mother and father in law didn’t get a chance to fish as we had no other bites. Dylan was working hard and being helpful to make the trip enjoyable and fun for everyone. He’s a good kid and his family should be proud. He even let my son try fresh salmon eggs and salmon heart which he loved! Overall it was a great fishing trip and an experience that my son will never forget! If we’re ever back in the area, I’ll definitely book another trip! Thank you Captain John and Dylan!

We booked a 4-hour salmon charter at the end of May, and although the salmon hadn't migrated to the Juneau area yet, Captain Terry was incredibly flexible, ensuring we still had a fantastic fishing experience. Sneak peek: we caught 15 fish, including Rockfish and a Halibut! Our trip with Captain Terry and his deckhand was not just about fishing; it was a four-in-one adventure. We went whale watching, saw hundreds of seals and sea lions, and ended with sightings of dozens of bald eagles. Despite having only one experienced fisher in our group, everyone caught fish and had a great time. If you're visiting Juneau, whether on a cruise or a trip, this is an experience you can't miss. You'll have an incredible time with knowledgeable and friendly guides who know the area and its wildlife well. Thanks Captain Terry!

Our captain, John, saw the salmon were not biting. So we relocated and were able to catch our max of halibut. Then we had time to go whale watching, see some sunbathing sea lions, take a gorgeous tour of the icebergs, and watch some bald eagles feed in front of the boat. It happened to be my birthday and one I’ll definitely never forget! Even our 17 year old son had a blast!!!

We appreciated the communication with the captain ahead of time. He worked hard to make sure we all caught fish and had a great time! The deck hand was very kind and helpful.

Captain Terry was really knowledgeable and got us on some halibut right away. The boat was first rate and well supplied. He and his deck hand Talan were great fun to be around and great help while fishing. You absolutely could not be with a better crew!!

Capt. Mike was extremely knowledgeable. Finn was a very capable mate. I charter regularly with many captains around the world and this operation is world class. I suggest booking trips longer than 6 hours as the better halibut grounds will take about 45 minutes to get to. Why lose 1-1/2 hrs to travel time???

The actual fishing experience was great, but getting to the boat was a nightmare. Need to have transportation provided to the boat dock. No one was there to help, and we wasted a lot of time trying to figure it out. It cost extra for us and should have been provided.
