Awesome experience on the kenai with a very knowledgeable and personable crew.

Disappointed that we didn’t catch any fish, but feel we’re probably between the sockeye run and Silver run. Our guide tried several locations. Be aware this is not so much a fishing trip but a snagging trip (floss) .Greatest disappointment was there were two other people scheduled to be on the boat. They showed up 35 minutes late and our guide waited for them . This of course meant that we lost that time fishing because we were scheduled to fish from 12 to 5 PM. And the guide made sure we were back at the dock by five. He did not extend it 35 minutes which would’ve been the reasonable thing to do since the guy decided to wait for the people to show up. This was not fair to us as customers. We checked out the location the day before. We showed up 30 minutes early and it took us an hour and a half to travel to this location.I understand fishing doesn’t always mean you catch fish but not being out on the water for the time that you paid for is certainly poor Customer Service . Also the captain we booked was not the person that took us out, but he contracted out with another guide which may have contributed to them not staying out longer since our trip started significantly late.. The guide told us he had another group of people to take out at 5 PM.
Would not recommend the service not because of lack of catching fish. But the expectation when you pay for a five hour fishing trip that you actually receive the five hours and when you book a trip, you should be aware that the guide you’re hiring is contracting out to someone else.

Our Alaska fishing charter with The River Crew was an incredible adventure from start to finish. While they have a great team of guides, our guide Adam was especially knowledgeable, hardworking, and genuinely passionate about making sure everyone on the boat had an amazing experience on the water.

The fishing was absolutely unforgettable and exceeded every expectation, with the scenery along the Kenai River was simply spectacular. Whether we were chasing salmon, enjoying the peaceful river, or just taking in the beauty of Alaska, every day felt like a new adventure. The crew made us feel like part of Alaska itself as they shared their local knowledge, stories, and love for the area.

What really stood out was the perfect balance between professionalism and fun. You could tell they truly care about giving their guests an authentic Alaska experience — not just a fishing trip.

If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime outdoor adventure or have plans for future adventures, you’ll find incredible fishing, great people, and memories that will stay with you forever. I highly recommend The River Crew.

If you’re visiting the Kenai peninsula, fishing with Adam and his crew is a must! Absolutely incredible experience with The River Crew and Adam. From start to finish, everything was top-notch — professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about fishing. Adam worked hard to put us on fish and made the entire trip fun, relaxed, and memorable. You can tell he truly cares about giving people an authentic Alaska fishing experience. Whether you’re experienced or brand new to fishing, I couldn’t recommend them more. Easily one of the best fishing trips I’ve ever had. We’ll definitely be back!

The River Crew provides an excellent Alaskan fishing experience! My wedding party had a blast as they prepped and guided everyone so well. It was a memorable day! The guides provided all the education we needed to catch our Alaskan fish. Whether a first timer or avid fisherman/woman they will meet your need. I highly appreciated their on-board rain gear to keep dry pending AK’s variable weather. They were accommodating to find the best fishing spots to fit our group and get our catch. I will definitely be returning! Shout out and thank you to Adam and Q for being incredible guides and humans 😄🙌🏼!
