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 youโre 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, โif you are going on a charter, you might as well go with one of the bestโ and thatโs what you get with Curtis Chaplin. Great trip with friends in June and going back again with Curtis in July.
Captain Curtis and his boat are fantastic, he was beyond knowledgeable, so friendly and helpful. We canโt wait to come back and fish again.
Youโd be crazy not to book this tour with Curtis.
