Captain Ben and Dakota are the best! We’ve chartered boats all around the world and these guys are two of the best guys we’ve ever met. We had an older lady join our trip. They took the time to help her every step of the way. From making sure she got on a fish to holding her up as the boat rolled in the water while she was fighting a beautiful Halibut! We all caught our limit on halibut and caught enough fish to nearly over flow the giant cooler. Dakota was amazing,... More

Absolutely phenomenal fishing trip with BLN Charters! Captain Ben and his first mate Dakota were outstanding. From the moment we stepped aboard, their professionalism and friendliness made us feel right at home. Captain Ben’s expertise ensured we were always in the best spots, and Dakota was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, making sure we had everything we needed. The boat was immaculate, and we caught more fish than we could have hoped for. This was by far the best fishing experience we’ve... More

If you are wanting a fabulous fishing trip book Ben & Dakota at BNL Charters!  Both were extremely knowledgeable and super fun making for a great experience! Their expertise on places to go was evident by the amount of fish we caught and the fact that other boats tried impeding our space. There were even other charters that radioed to ask where we were and if they could try that spot. Also, they were able to act as a tour guide and explain/tell us about different things we were seeing... More

My wife Peggy and I just had a wonderful experience with Captain Ben and Dakota.  These local guys knew where the fish were and were able to see that all four fishing on board got their fish in short order.  We had weather coming in with wind, rain and strong tidal currents.  These guys placed our safety foremost.  Our second day of fishing with BLN was cancelled due to bad weather.  Again, we trusted that they placed our safety first.  Would definitely go back to these guys again.

If you want a trip that feels personalized and productive this is your trip.  The captain, Ben, and his deck hand, Dakota, truly live to fish and want you to have the best possible experience.  They are experienced, knowledgeable, helpful and kind.  Make sure to bring your own beverages (they have water) and food, because this is no dinner cruise.  The focus is fishing.
