Fishing Charters

Fishing charters in Ketchikan offer guided day trips led by experienced local captains who know the seasonal patterns, tides, and fishing grounds of Southeast Alaska. Charters provide access to productive waters just minutes from town, making it easy to add fishing to a short visit or build it into a longer stay.

Charter trips typically focus on salmon, halibut, or a combination of species, depending on the season. Most charters supply rods, reels, bait, and safety equipment, along with guidance on techniques and regulations. This makes charter fishing a good option for first-time anglers as well as those looking to maximize their time on the water.

Trips range from half-day to full-day excursions and depart from local docks or marinas. Fish processing and shipping services are often available through charter operators or local processors, allowing visitors to take their catch home.
