3rd time out with Curtis and we’ve booked next year already. By far the nicest, best equipped boat I’ve been on.  Curtis takes pride in providing the best gear and equipment to give his guests higher chances of bringing in fish. And do we bring in fish!  Curtis knows the waters, fish patterns and uses his extensive network of fellow Captain’s to keep track on what’s being caught and where.  For us though, we were usually the first boat out and the others followed us.  My full freezer is a testament to the trip.

Now, the Captain himself… Curtis is an amazing human being.  His passion for people, entertaining and having a good time are the reasons I keep coming back. Sure, the fishing is amazing, but the company is even better. Whether is chatting on the trip out to our spot or passing the time waiting for the next fish on, Curtis is funny, worldly, thoughtful, informative and insightful.

At the end of the day if you want an experienced Captain, a beautiful boat and a fantastic fishing adventure, this is the guy.  Tight lines everyone!

If you want to actually catch fish on a boat that does not make you sick, this is the boat to be on. The boat and gear are all top shelf quality, run by the captain like a finely tuned machine. The captain makes the trip fun and enjoyable for people of all skill levels and backgrounds. Men that had a higher skill level than me were encouraged to grab the rod from the downriggers and play the fish alone. I had only been fishing once before booking this trip with Overtime Charters, so I was happy to be given the rod, after the rod had been taken from the downrigger and the fish confirmed to be within my skill level. The Captain was the perfect mix of stern, disciplined, but somehow laid back. When the fishing was on, the captain made sure everyone knew where to be; when the fishing was slow, the day was filled with laughter. Every fish I lost was met with calm instructive criticism that helped me greatly, as Curtis inevitably got me into more fish. I ended up with a limit of salmon and the morning, and a limit of halibut in the afternoon. I feel confident going back this year that I wont be starting from the bottom, and I will be going on this boat, with this captain, every year.

If you are looking to book your first fishing trip, or you’re a skilled fisherman looking to have a good time, this is without a doubt the best option.

Fantastic day with Overtime Charters and Captain Curtis.
Jigging for the bait that caught our limit of salmon. Lots of fun with a very knowledgeable and engaged captain who was invested in our experience and made sure we had a stellar time. Highly recommend this charter.

Captain is quite the guy. Was personable and was good with the kids. Let my daughter actually drive the boat which was pretty cool.  Got us on some fish and was quite aware of the possibility of sea sickness. No one really got sick. Sounds silly but this was my 4th trip out with kids and he was the first one to address it if need be.  Would forsure hit him up again next year for a trip out. Thanks, Adam

A friend recommended me to Curtis, “if you are going on a charter, you might as well go with one of the best” and that’s what you get with Curtis Chaplin. Great trip with friends in June and going back again with Curtis in July.
