We had an absolutely incredible day with 49th Alaskan Fishing Charters! Captain Steve and deckhand Loren were a spectacular duo and made our 8-hour fishing charter one of the highlights of our entire Alaska trip.

From the very beginning, it was obvious that safety—for the guests, crew, and vessel—is their number one priority. They were professional, knowledgeable and attentive throughout the entire trip, while also being incredibly upbeat and fun to spend the day with. Even with rain and mist for most of the day, their energy never changed, and they were completely committed to making sure everyone had a safe, successful and unforgettable experience.

And successful it was! They knew exactly where to take us, kept us on the fish, patiently helped us throughout the day, and made sure we had every opportunity to catch our limits. We caught halibut, sole and more, and had an absolute blast doing it!

Beyond being excellent at what they do, Steve and Loren are simply wonderful people to spend eight hours on a boat with. They worked incredibly well together, kept us laughing, answered all of our questions, and genuinely seemed to care that everyone aboard was having the trip of a lifetime.

We thoroughly enjoyed being aboard their beautiful vessel and couldn’t have asked for a better captain and deckhand. If you’re looking for a fishing charter out of Homer, we can’t recommend 49th Alaskan Fishing Charters, Captain Steve and Loren highly enough. Thank you both for an experience we’ll never forget!

Absolutely. Amazing time.
Don’t know how to describe it. I’ve been on several other halibut, charters and never had so much good camaraderie With other guests, captain was very understanding patient to work with us and folks that haven’t done it before. Absolutely. Speechless to how this trip went compared to others that I’ve been in the past. The captain took us to different areas out in the ocean, which was nice than with other charters. Where We’ve got to see a lot of it.Beautiful scenery on top of catching our fish and having a blast doing it absolutely.Would recommend this charter with for other folks and families

Had a good time on the ship. Great Capt who is genuinely concerned with everyones safety brief. From what he says he is probably the only capt that gives safety briefs prior to the start ov the trip. Which is great. hearing from other ppl that went fishing that day on other charters I overheard a few mentioning how they wished they would have gotten some warning about simple things like how tk handle a hook, how to walk on a boat, and. such. He definately has the safety equiment needed to keep you and your guests safe. he will get you on fish he has the technology and the experience to put you in spots that have fish its just up to you on setting the hook at the right time, but you will get the hang of it. For the price You cant beat it. all you do is show up and he takes carw ov the rest and you can have your fish picked up as soon as the next day with the fish processors he uses.

What a fun day! In true Alaskan fashion it rained on us the whole day literally except the last 30-ish minutes! Everyone caught fish (including my husband who took all day to hook a halibut after everyone else had🤣 but capt Stephen didn’t give up and made sure he caught his halibut and then some!) had a great time while doing it! Captain and first mate were super knowledgeable and extremely patient and helpful with everyone learning different styles of fishing! We would totally recommend this for new or experienced fishers - we will definitely be back!

We had an incredible experience fishing with Captain Steve and his first mate, Loren. From the moment we stepped aboard, it was obvious they take great pride in providing a first-class trip. Captain Steve’s new boat is outstanding—comfortable, well-equipped, and you can tell a lot of thought went into both the layout and safety of his guests.

We caught halibut along with several other species, and Steve and Loren worked hard all day to keep us on fish and make sure everyone had a great time. They were knowledgeable, patient, and fun to spend the day with.

One feature that definitely earned extra points with our group was the onboard bathroom (head). All of the ladies greatly appreciated having that convenience, and it made the trip much more comfortable for everyone.

If you’re looking for a professional crew, a beautiful boat, and an unforgettable day on the water, I highly recommend Captain Steve and Loren. We had an amazing trip and can’t wait to come back!
