Ketchikan Halibut Fishing Charters: Private Boat for Your Group

Fish Ketchikan waters on your own schedule, with no one else on the boat

A four-hour private fishing charter in Ketchikan where you fish for halibut, King salmon, Coho, Pink and Chum salmon on a boat equipped with top-line electronics and a comfortable cabin. All fishing gear, soda, water and snacks are included. The crew works within your timeline so the trip fits your group's pace and experience level.

The experience

Four hours on the water means you set the rhythm. Oasis Alaska Charters runs only private charters: no strangers sharing the boat, no waiting for other groups to finish their casts. The boat is built for fishing: roomy cabin, private enclosed marine toilet, and electronics that let the crew find where the fish are. You bring nothing but yourself. All gear is on board.

Halibut and salmon run these Southeast Alaska waters year-round, and the crew has years of experience reading the conditions. Whether you've fished before or this is your first time in Alaska, the charter adapts to what you want to do. The boat carries soda, bottled water and snacks for the morning or afternoon, so you stay comfortable while you're working the lines.

A live English-speaking guide is with you the whole time. The boat's size and design (safe, stable, with a comfortable fishing platform) means you can focus on the catch instead of the ride.
