  Great Fishing Trip! We caught fish!!!

  Salmon Fishing - p.m. shared trip on June 24, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 child

  We planned the afternoon trip and had I to do it again I would have planned the morning where there is more likelihood of a more diverse catch, but that said, we caught a lot and had a great time. I did have some problems shipping the fish to where we were going next but the captain helped us and all got worked out. It might be good to figure that out ahead of time since when returning from the afternoon trip the shipping places might be closing. The boat, equipment, and captain were all fantastic and the Puget Sound was beautiful. Great time and would highly recommend.

  Awesome Day on the Water

  Salmon Fishing - a.m. shared trip on July 31, 2026 • 4 adults

  Captain Zach was great from start to finish. We were consistently hooking fish and ended the day with a salmon feast of four kings across our group. Zach knew exactly how to adapt the day based on where fish were biting and expertly navigated some crowded waters on opening day for one of the more popular fisheries. Would easily book the experience again or recommend to others. We've collectively done 6 - 7 charters across the group and this was easily the best.

  Thank you Bryan for noticing that we are different than the others. We take a high degree of precision and care into all the elements of our practice to ensure that every guest has the best possible experience. While we cant control the fishing, we strive for the best possible outcome every day we slide off the dock. Enjoy the fresh Chinook salmon catches! ⚓️ Capt Zack and Paul

  fantastic trip!!

  Flounder Fishing Trip - Mixed Crew on March 30, 2026 • 2 adults

  spring break trip with my HS son. Weather really cooperated with a sunny, calm day. Paul could not have been better - walked through safety, how to catch the flounder, just all around good guy. We immediately both caught flounder and ended the day with pretty steady rate of catches, about 20 or so in a couple hours. Big bonus...Paul went out of his way to check out where he was hearing there were orcas at the end of our trip. So we got to see a pod of orcas for several minutes!! Fantastic morning! Really could not have been better.

  Thank you Andy for booking the trip and fishing with us this morning. The tides and weather were on our side, and how about those amazing Orca 🐋 Whales ?!?!? Enjoy the rest of your visit to Seattle and safe travels. ⚓️ Capt Paul Kim 🇺🇸

  Crushed It!

  Salmon Fishing - p.m. Private Boat on June 27, 2026 • 2 adults

  We chose later departure out of Shilshole. Left at 10:30 am with Captain Zach. Got out to spot around 11:00 am and then proceeded to crush it. 13 fish on over 2.5 hours. Limited on coho by 2:30. Also caught 3 huge kings that we released. The Kraken is awesome boat and all equipment top of line. Zach was awesome. Will fish with them again.

  Wonderful day fishing!

  Ling Cod - Bottomfishing on May 31, 2026 • 2 adults

  We booked this Lingcod trip for my husband's birthday. it could not have been any better. The weather was fantastic. Zach and Daniel were great. Everything was explained clearly. They worked tirelessly keeping poles rigged, getting us to promising spots. We caught 1 35" and 1 33" Lincod. They were friendly and informative. We will be rebooking in the future.
