Plan for a one-day sport fishing license for anyone age 16+ ($15 each). If you fish for King Salmon June 15 through July, you also need a King Salmon stamp ($15). If you plan to keep halibut and you’re age 18+, you need a charter halibut stamp ($20) that you pay on the day of your trip. Captain gratuity is not included (industry standard 10–20%). Fish processing and shipping are also extra (approximately $3/lb, plus boxing and shipping).
Bring a printed copy of your Alaska sport fishing license for each angler age 16+.
No. This is a private trip for your group only, and the boat can accommodate up to 6 passengers.
This outfit consistently delivers impressive catches, with captains like Grayson, Tony, Luke, and Jake earning repeated praise for their fishing expertise and ability to locate productive spots. Reviewers regularly report limiting out on halibut and hauling in impressive hauls of salmon, cod, and rockfish—often outperforming other boats at the processing dock. The captains work hard to put clients on fish even in challenging conditions, and they handle all the logistics seamlessly, from meeting cruise passengers directly at the dock to arranging fish processing and shipping. What really stands out is how welcoming the captains are to first-timers and experienced anglers alike. They're patient with beginners, genuinely knowledgeable about the local waters, and flexible about comfort levels with rougher seas. Bonus wildlife sightings—whales surfacing near the boat—add to the authentic Alaskan experience. The booking process is straightforward, with responsive communication and helpful guidance on licensing and what to bring. Multiple guests mention this as a trip highlight, with several already planning return visits.
The best fishing experience. Captain Andrew knew all the great spots. We caught more than expected. I highly recommend. If you want a reliable and experienced captain, Ketchikan’s Finest Fishing Charters is the company you need to go with. I am already planning to come back again. Thanks Captain Andrew!
