Our fishing charters range from $275 – $500 per person depending on the length, type of trip, and date of excursion. We offer a wide range of trips from 3/4 day local trips to long range full-day excursions targeting several different species of fish.

Our trips fill up every season so we strongly encourage you to book your dates as soon as possible because seats are limited. All of our boats are fast, clean, heated, extremely well cared for, and are limited to 6 passengers for your comfort. We can accommodate group sizes of up to 12 with our fleet.

Fishing Licenses

You will need a fishing license for you trip. These are most easily purchased online and printed from the Alaska Department of Fish & Game website. If you are on one of our salmon combo trips you will want to purchase a king salmon stamp

Licenses are available in 1-day, 3-day, 7-day, 14-day, and annual licenses. The same is true for king salmon stamps which are required if you are on one of salmon trips and would like to retain a king salmon.

Licenses are not required for residents under 18 or non-resident anglers under the age of 16 at the time of the fishing excursion. However, a harvest card is required and can downloaded and printed for free.

Shipping fish

Your fish will be filleted by our experienced crew and given to you so that you may take it to a fish processor. A fish processor will wash, portion, vacuum seal. They will also hold it in their freezer vaccum sealed and preserved until you are able to pick it up. Sometimes they are able to do this while you wait.

Most of our customers will take their fish to Homer Fish Processing located very conveniently at: 1302 Ocean Drive, Homer, Alaska 99603
