About this activity

You select any start-time between: 6:00am - 4:00pm and you pick your our return time as well. We can fish until you don't want to fish anymore and then return to town or tour around the beautiful Sitka Sound for amazing views and marine life. Private charter includes first 4 hours.

Outer Coast Charters is located out of Sitka on the western side of Baranof Island, in beautiful Southeast Alaska. We are owned and operated by year-round resident, adventure outfitter, and fishing fanatic Captain Christopher Paul Jones. He states, "There's no place I'd rather be or explore than Southeast Alaska. Here we have the bounty of the Pacific Ocean at our doorstep with over 17,000 miles of coastline encompassing the Tongass National Forest, the largest intact temperate rain forest in the world. Our mission is to provide our guests with the rarest of Maritime and Coastal Adventures, while providing an element of added safety as we explore one of the most beautiful places on the edges of the earth."

Itinerary

Outer Coast Charters provides private, small-group saltwater fishing. 4 hours are included, however you may shorten or extend your private charter as needed. Our custom adventures benefit from the comfort and safety of our "Suzy Q" Stabicraft. Built in New Zealand, Suzy-Q is a double-hulled aluminum Stabicraft 2500 Ultracab XL safety boat. This is an Eco-Tour, so you'll enjoy tight lines, pulling in a wide variety; and after a few moments of photo-memories, we will make every effort to safely return your fish back to the sea. We will fish the salt for Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod and Rockfish. And may pull-up the occasional Salmon Shark, Big Ray, Skate, Sculpin, Kelp Greenling or Wolf Eel. We will most likely concentrate on Mooching instead of Trolling, so that we make sure every hand has a rod when the fish bite. We highly prefer this form of fishing over trolling as it usually catches more fish and you get to feel the bite. Required, but not included: Fishing Licenses (printed/signed), Rain-Gear, Waterproof Footwear. Buy your Alaska Fishing License prior to your trip online at Alaska Fish & Game Store. Print and sign it, and bring it with you as it is required to have it on board.
