    Absolutely Wonderful Fishing Trip

    Full Day Trip – Group Rate Combo • 4 adults

    Absolute gem of a captain, capable boat, fishing knowledge, awesome weather and calm seas. Plus... 10, maybe 11 Humpback whales cruised past our boat which excited our fishing trip guests from outside. A wonderful fishing trip with Captain Keith at the helm and with his skill and knowledge, we were able to catch our limit of halibut. Thank you and it was a pleasure to have you as our captain. We all enjoyed our time together and will definitely be fishing with you again soon. Highly recommended.

    Reported catch:
    Halibut
    Coho Salmon

    Very Successful Fishing Charter

    Half day Group Rate-Halibut • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Keith was awesome! Very professional. He’s a retired airplane pilot and it shows. He was very prepared and organized. My wife and two boys (12 and 9) did the half-day Halibut trip. We traveled out about an hour and caught 3 halibut and 4 Pacific cods in under 2 hours. We fished with only two rods. That was all we needed. We kept it all and had it shipped home. 35 lbs of filets. He took care of the having it fileted. We shipped it home at Captain Jacks for about $400. We highly recommend Captain Keith!

    Made the most of a rainy day!

    Half day Halibut • 3 adults

    Captain Keith was courteous and helpful for our half day halibut fishing excursion. Despite consistent rain and wind, we still managed to have a great time and caught a mix of Halibut, pacific and black cod, and had a great time! The Overtime III was a very comforable boat with a covered fishing platform and warm cabin with a full bathroom which was a bonus for a charter fishing boat!

    Response from Captain

    Thanks for the review hope we get to see you on your next Alaska trip.

    Last trip of the season for captain Keith but he got us on some fish early and took care of us in every way. Lucky enough to bring 20lbs of salmon home with us!

What's biting with Fantasea Charters aboard " OVERTIME III " in Seward

Head out to the Resurrection River to battle big Pike, Dolly Varden, and Salmon in November. You can't head to sea, but there's plenty of freshwater action to keep you happy.
