Growing up, I always had a passion for fishing. Being born and raised in Central Florida, I was always surrounded by some of the best fresh and saltwater fishing that the world had to offer. In 2008 I started working for an elite Alaskan charter outfit, Saltwater Safari Company. Starting as a deckhand on their vessels, I spent 4 seasons on deck followed by 5 seasons operating their vessels, the Legend & Legacy. In 2012 at the age of 22, I obtained my Merchant Mariners credentials as Master of Vessels up to 100 gross tons. When the summer season in Alaska comes to an end, I spend my winters back down in Florida where I guide tours in the Everglades. Also apart of our team is Captain Tony Maioriello! Caption Tony was born ans raised in Alaska and have been apart of the our company since 2021. Working under Captain Bobby predominantly, he had one of the best teachers in the game and learned so much about the fishery and the local knowledge of fishing out of Seward. Fishing is our passion and we would love to take you into our world and show you the beauty of Resurrection Bay and the Gulf of Alaska! FISH ON!

    Great Fishing, Great Cap&Crew

    Full Day Offshore –Halibut July/Aug • 3 adults

    Cap’n Bobby quickly responded to our questions prior to the trip, usually within a few minutes. He was extremely helpful during our prep phase. On the day of our trip, all gear was ready and in working order and our crew worked diligently to have everything ready before we made our first stop out of the harbor. The captain and crew were friendly, helpful and expertly responsive throughout our trip. Cap’n Bobby put us on fish, too! All the anglers on board limited on halibut and rock fish within a few hours and the crew was quick to respond to any anglers’ needs. I will definitely book again with this charter and crew-absolutely amazing time.

    Reported catch:
    Halibut
    Rockfish
    Coho Salmon
    Response from Captain

    glad you had a great time Brian!

    Amazing experience!

    Full Day Offshore – Halibut (June) • 3 adults

    I always get severely seasick, but for the first time ever I didn’t!!!! Sure, I got a bit nauseous but no one on the boat got sick. There were a few moments I had to stop fishing due to the nausea, afraid that I would get sick and a crew member was so kind to take over for me and continue reeling my fish in. The crew was phenomenal. They were super knowledgeable about the the various fish species we were pulling up as well as pointing out the other really cool sea life visible from the boat. Our crew even cleaned and filleted everything for us! I will definitely request the same crew and boat next year!

    Reported catch:
    Cod
    Halibut
    Response from Captain

    thanks so much for the review! glad you had a great time with us!!

    Fishing Trip of a Lifetime

    Full Day Offshore – Halibut (June) • 6 adults • 3 children

    We had an unforgettable day on The Renegade! Captain Tony and his hands Trendan and Brac were phenominal. They were feiendly, fun to talk to, and knew how to find the fish. They busted their butts all day but were still patience with everyone, including our 11, 9, and 6 year old kids. Captain Tony stopped in a spot he never had before and we struck gold. My fishing fanatic 9 year old son hooked a 143 pound halibut and my husband helped him bring it in. The crew gave all the instruction and encouragement to help bring the monster in. It was the first fish of the day!! The boat brought in many more halibut, rock fish, cod, walleye, sharks, and even an octopus that I think we were all happy came of the hook before making it to the boat. This is truly a trip we will remeber for the rest of our lives. Thanks you for making our Alaska fishing dreams come true!!

    Reported catch:
    Halibut
    Black Rockfish
    Rockfish
    Cod
    Response from Captain

    wooohoo! congrats on tour trophy catch and thank you for all the kind words about our crew!

    Great crew! Captain Bobby and (Dorothy)...hahaha....were Awesome! They put us on the fish all day. Got our limits on the entire boat for Halibut and Black Rockfish. . Bonus to hit some Ling Cod, Silver Salmon, Yellow Eye Rockfish. Im a lifelong Alaskan, and been on the water fishing for most of my life here. Been on many "chartered fishing boats" during that time and by far these guys were top notch for the entire experience. Would recommend to everyone!

    I have to say, while the current was roughh, Tony still put us on the fish. The 2 deck hands were awesome as well. They were very attentive to those who needed it. The music, LOL!!! They were playing early 70s and 80s music. Great job Cory!! I would highly recommend this crew and charter to anyone.

Fishing has been great the past month. The coho run has slowed down the past few days but hoping the second run of salmon fires up soon! Bottom fishing has been very solid, halibut, cod, rockfish have all had great appetites on our full day offshore trips. We have another 6 weeks left in the season and some availability late august and early september, quit wishing and come fishing!
