We booked this fishing trip while visiting Alaska during our cruise, and it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip. The scenery was nothing short of breathtaking – calm waters, mountains, and crisp, clean air. But the real star of the day was the fishing itself!

We had an incredibly successful day on the water, reeling in King, Coho, and Pink salmon – and even landed a Sockeye, which was a nice surprise. The fish were plentiful, and it felt like there was always action on the lines. Our guide clearly knew the area well and made sure we were in the right spots.

Important Tip: If you’re coming off a cruise ship like we were, make sure to communicate your ship’s arrival time with the charter operator ahead of time. Cruise schedules don’t always align with listed charter times, but with a little coordination, everything worked out smoothly for us.

We couldn’t have asked for a better Alaskan fishing experience. Whether you’re an experienced angler or just looking for a memorable adventure, this trip is absolutely worth it!

Kyle is a great guide! We were on fish the entire time. We took a taxi from town to the Marina and Kyle was waiting on us. From the marina it was a short boat trip to the fishing grounds. Due to the wrong tide and such a short duration because of the cruise schedule we didn’t catch the giant halibut we were going after. But we had a great Alaskan fishing experience and we’re catching fish the entire trip. Main highlight of the Alaskan cruise!

Highly recommend this boat. Kyle could not have been a better captain. Communication prior to the trip was great. We got to the marina early and Kyle was ready to go. We were a party of three and caught a bunch of salmon (Pinks and Coho). Thanks again to Kyle for a great experience.

Kyle was great with my family (3kids). We caught a lot of salmon (more than we could keep!), he took time to explain everything to us, and got us situated to send it all back home. It was an amazing day!!

We booked a half day fishing tour with Kyle, and we had a blast! Kyle was very knowledgeable about all types of fish, what was edible and what wasn’t. He also had a great eye for bites on the rods, and his tips helped to keep our fish hooked till it got to the surface. I highly recommend fishing both in Ketchikan, and with Kyle.
