Alaska Ocean Safaris 

We had an outstanding 1/2 day charter with Captain Chris! The group included three couples and we caught 15 salmon (1 chum and 14 pink), with an additional 4-5 king salmon that were not long enough to keep. Captain Chris was very responsive ahead of the trip, on request he coordinated our transportation to/from the cruise ship, and made sure we were back at the dock with plenty of time for pictures and shipment of the fish ahead of the 20-minute drive back to the ship. With all the fish caught in probably 3 hours of fishing, Captain Chris kept busy, but was patient with the less experienced female fishermen, and just super enjoyable to be around. The boat was clean and very comfortable for the 6 of us. A PERFECT DAY ON THE WATER!

We went Halibut and Salmon fishing at the begining of August. Before we could get the second reel in the water we already had our first salmon caught. Caught 21 salmon and some rock fish. Lots of acfion all day. Had a bald eagle flying around eating fish we were throwing up in the air. Was amazing to watch. Defintely worth the experience. Thomas our captain was extremelly knowlwdgeable about everything we asked him. Could not of asked for a better excursion.

We were visiting for one day on a cruise. I had read some pretty bad reviews of the various fishing excursions offered by the cruiseline and I wasn’t interested in just going for a boat ride. I am glad I found Chris on my own. Communication was easy, he set up direct transport round trip from our cruise terminal and made sure we were back in time for departure. We did a combo halibut / salmon trip. First fish was on before the second line was even in the water and the action continued. Chris was great with the kids. Boat was comfortable even on a rainy day. Caught halibut, cod, rockfish, and king salmon (early july). Process to ship fish home was seamless.

We started off by telling Captain Chris that we wanted to change things up just a bit as King Salmon season was 2 days out. Decided to do a little bottom fishing. Capt wasn't prepared for such but said we can make it work. We did, he took us out to catch some rockfish to use as bait. We'll, after hitting the day limit of 3 halibut we moved on for a little sport fishing which we caught 2 King Salmon and one was about 32 inches long. ALL THIS WAS DONE ON A 4 HOUR TRIP...Great captain, boat and experience all together. Definitely would recommend Chris. Not to mention, Captain brought in a bald eagle about 10 ft from the boatwith the rockfish scraps. EXTRAS-what a neat little place clover pass is.

And we are complete newbies. Chris had a huge comfortable boat, protection from the elements, and the back was large enough for us to congregate in too. All top of the line equipment, and Chris made sure our trip was a success and IT WAS. We caught 2 huge Silver Salmon and 3 small kings we threw back. It felt like The REAL Alaska. Highly recommend.
