Charter Operator
Valdez Saltwater Adventures

Member since March 2025 Valdez, United States
Background
Captain Will grew up in Northern Minnesota and has had a passion for the outdoors since he was a child. Captain Will entered the U.S. Air Force in 1996 and retired from the U.S. Air Force in May 2016 after providing military meteorological services for over 20 years. In 2001, he moved to Alaska while serving on Active Duty and immediately fell in love with all the incredible opportunities the 49th state has to offer. It didn't take long before his love for the ocean grew and he found himself on the water as much as possible. After 2 combat tours and numerous assignments and temporary duty locations Captain Will retired from the military and jumped into the charter industry in Valdez. In 2017 he established Valdez Saltwater Adventures and hasn’t looked back. When Captain Will isn’t busy running a boat or with other business matters he enjoys hunting, traveling, and spending time with his wife Marta and his son Aaron at their home in Valdez. It’s should come at no surprise at all that much of the little bit of he has off in the summer is spent in a boat fishing with his son, who’s has definitely caught the fishing bug! Captain Will's meteorological knowledge, experience fishing and navigating Alaskan waters, and his love for sharing what Alaska has to offer makes him the perfect candidate to help you enjoy your next Alaskan adventure.
Techniques
Bottom fishing, jigging, trolling
