In addition to bringing you so many years of experience we also offer competitive rates and many additional services. All gear, bait, tackle and cleaning is included in the price of the charter and skin is removed upon request. Commercial vacuum packing, freezing and shipping are available on site for your convenience. We have a variety of airline approved fish boxes available for purchase. We also have a rental cabin located next to our business property and four RV sites.

We beach launch out of Anchor Point or Deep Creek State Park near Ninilchik, Alaska. With one of the largest boats in the fleet there is plenty of room for the maximum of six people per trip.

Over 19 Years Experience

We have many loyal clients who return to fish with us year after year. Our goal is to ensure that you catch fish and have a wonderful Alaskan experience. We do target large halibut – check out our photos!
