Fish for salmon and halibut, then cruise Kenai Fjords scenery in one full-day trip
10 Hours
Lunch, bait & tackle, fish fillet
Spend a full day on the water from Seward—half fishing for wild Alaskan salmon and halibut, half exploring Kenai Fjords National Park’s glacial bays and coastlines. Travel in a small group with a heated cabin and a partially covered aft deck for added comfort.
Halibut fishing is not allowed on Tuesdays or Wednesdays per Alaska regulations. An Alaska fishing license is required and can be purchased online from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
Full refund less a 15% booking fee with 2+ weeks notice. Less than 2 weeks: initial deposit forfeiture. If unsafe weather or sea conditions dictate non-departure, you will be refunded the cost of your charter reservation.
Yes. Bring an Alaska fishing license; you can purchase one online from the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.
Bring a reusable water bottle, snacks, rain gear, and boots or shoes that can get wet. Wear layered clothing for warmth, and consider bringing a camera and/or binoculars.
The crew supplies bait and tackle, baits your hooks, and shows you what you need to know to catch fish. You can bring your own tackle if you prefer.
Departs 7am from Seward Harbor, F Dock, Slip 47
Captain Jason and crew member Garrett earn consistent praise for their professionalism, knowledge, and friendly demeanor. They clearly know where the fish are and work hard to put guests on them, with many groups catching limits of halibut, rockfish, lingcod, and salmon. Beyond fishing, guests rave about the wildlife encounters—orcas, humpback whales, sea lions, puffins, and even occasional black bears. The boat Hope may be older, but reviewers appreciate its solid, stable feel and homey comfort. Details matter here, from quality fishing gear to complimentary coffee and tea throughout the trip. The Fish and Fjord combo tour gets particular attention, though expectations matter. A couple reviewers wished for more fishing time versus sightseeing, finding the balance tilted more toward glaciers and wildlife than they anticipated. Most guests loved this mix and considered it a highlight of their Alaska trip, but if you're after a hardcore fishing-only experience, clarify your priorities when booking. Families with kids consistently report great experiences, with the crew patient and engaging with younger anglers. The office staff, particularly Debbie, handles last-minute bookings and dietary needs efficiently.
Fish and Fjord Tour was lovely in September! Lucked out with awesome weather. My girlfriend and I enjoyed the tour and brought home 18 lbs of halibut fillets, as we bought hit our limit! Was funny when I thought a halibut I hooked was a stingray since they are so thin 😭🤣 Was cool to see orcas, puffins, eagle, sea lions, jellyfish, birds, an otter, and a rare sighting of a black bear fishing on a beach/stream! We enjoyed the tour and cannot wait to return again some day. Shouts out to the lovely captains Jason and Garret.
