would not recommend the “private” charter at more than $800 unless able to fish for King Salmon. Fishing for Coho is not worth the cost. My father and I left the dock and returned within only a couple of hours though the post considered the trip a 6 hour trip. I understand the issue with catching a limit and being done. That should have been expressed better in the website. Oh well, live and learn! I understand I should have done better research.

First time in Seattle wanted to catch a Salmon and Chris made it happen. Beautiful day and beautiful catch and release wild salmon. Chris is extremely knowledgeable, takes safety and regulations seriously, is kind, and hilarious. Nothing better than a day on the water with a great captain, will definitely be booking with Chris again sometime soon looking for some more Salmon. The area and the lifecycle are so fascinating, can’t miss adventure if you enjoy fishing.

We had a terrific day with Captain Chris and we all caught our Salmon limits. Perfect weather and really calm waters and very interesting great conversations with Chris. We put the filets in the freezer back at our hotel right away and are now prepping for a great salmon dinner tonight. Beats the heck out of getting skunked and going to Sizzler! We will be back Chris!

Chris was amazing. He kept putting us fish the whole time. We brought food and was so busy catching fish we couldn’t even eat any on it! This was a generational trip with my father and son. The three of us had non stop action. Thank you Chris for making this the best trip ever. I have been on 6 other guided trips and this was the best bar none

I was with my son and there was another group of three. Chris put us on the fish at we had 17 fish on online but only managed to get 9 fish onboard. He was patient and never got frustrated. There were 30 other boats in the area fishing. It seemed like we got the most fish.
