Top Halibut Fishing in Alaska
Join us for a true full day of fishing out of Whittier. We can accommodate shorter days if necessary, but prefer to run a little farther to get into less pressured waters (and still have plenty of time to fish). Prince William Sound is a beautiful place to spend a day fishing and hanging out with the many whales, sea lions, porpoise, and other wildlife that frequent our fishing grounds. Private boat only, so you won't get stuck with folks you don't know and have full control of your trip.

Halibut fishing in Alaska, United States is world-class. Pacific Halibut are hard-fighting Flatfish that grow big and taste great. Alaska’s cold, rich waters give them everything they need to thrive, so anglers come for steady action and a real test of strength.
Most trips focus on bottom fishing, which means dropping bait or heavy jigs near the seafloor. Captains often anchor or drift along channels, humps, and sandy flats where Halibut feed. Deep sea fishing targets deeper water far offshore, while offshore fishing can also mean mid-depth grounds. Your crew will explain the plan and help with tackle, bait, and safe handling.
Charter days are active but beginner-friendly. Expect sturdy boats, powerful reels, and guidance from start to finish. Kids and first-timers are welcome, and experienced anglers love the chance at a true “barn door” Halibut, a nickname for very large fish. Bring warm layers, a waterproof jacket, non-slip shoes, sun protection, and any motion sickness medicine you prefer. Check with your captain about fish cleaning and packing options after the trip.
Across the state, you’ll find top waters in the Kenai Peninsula and Cook Inlet, the rich grounds off Homer and Seward, the sheltered fjords of Prince William Sound, the Inside Passage near Ketchikan and Juneau, the islands around Kodiak, and remote stretches of the Aleutians. Each area offers different weather, run times, and travel distances, but all hold quality Halibut.
Before you go, review Alaska’s sportfishing rules. Check license and permit needs, and confirm season and harvest regulations for the area you’ll fish. Rules change by region and time of year, and your captain can help you stay current and compliant.

BEST trip ever!
We caught our limit on halibut and then trolled for salmon. It was an amazing trip. With an incredible Capt Tim and Samnson, the greatest deckhand ever! Met a top shelf group of people and fished, while viewing whales and seals, it was an epic day!
- 5.0/5(BEST RATED HALIBUT FISHING - 4HR - 8:00 AM)
100% worth the money
Private charter is the way to go. We got picked up at the dock (literally boat pick up) and Captain Grayson was so informative, personable and helpful. We ended up coming home with 3 halibut. i would pay for it again everytime.

First time catching Halibut, Cod, and Flounder
The captain and deck hand were great. Very helpful and informative. I caught my first halibut and cod which I had prepped and shipped home so I can cook them. I also caught a flounder which we put back. No salmon or rock fish but that’s just how it goes sometimes. Still incredibly fun trying for the salmon and rock fish. Also got to see a mother and child whale pare as an extra bonus.

Went fishing just for the halibut!!
Boat was crowded but everyone was very nice. Crew was excellent, they took the time to talk to us and get to know us. Caught fish but didn't limit out on halibut. Overall very fun.
