Central Charters and Tours

Member since March 2025 Homer, United States
Background
Central Charters was established in 1982 and has been family owned ever since! We specialize in charter fishing, as well as beachfront lodging, wildlife tours, and bear viewing. We take pride in ensuring our clients have the best trip possible and we love what we do.
Techniques
We utilize a number of different fishing techniques to target a number of different species. The majority of the Halibut fishing is done with circle hooks on the bottom while either anchored or drifting. For Rockfish we use lighter gear and jigs while over the top of reefs. Both types of fishing are very engaging and fun.
