About this activity

While most charter boats in Ketchikan are 24 feet long and 8 feet wide, you'll be cruising on THE FOUR FINS, a 37 foot-long, 12-foot wide beauty of a vessel built right here in Ketchikan, with tons of forward deck space, a large, spacious cabin, and ample room on the rear deck for all parties while fishing.

Captain Jack is not just an expert fishing guide and year-round local: he's a consummate host, who is eager to show off his hometown and to help you have a great time, all while he puts you on the fish.

And while all parties are welcome, Jack had this boat built to be fully accessible, for wheelchairs, power chairs, walkers, and scooters. There is also adaptive fishing gear on board, like wrist braces and grasping cuffs for those with limited use of their upper extremities. Captain Jack is also a certified autism specialist through IBCCES.

Itinerary

This 5-hour private salmon charter (priced by group size, taxes included) gives you ample time to fish close to town or to travel to hot spots a little further out. Our expert captain will bring the boat to you, meet you at your ship, and take you to Alaska's renowned fishing grounds! Things you should know: • King salmon run early in the season, and are joined by silvers (Coho) and pinks as the summer advances. • We can have your fish processed and shipped. • The boat is fully accessible, including for power chairs. We also have adaptive fishing gear. • Licenses must be purchased from the AK Dept. of Fish & Game. King stamps are required for retention of that species. Anglers under 16 get a license and stamp free of charge. • Bottled water and snacks are included. • All levels of experience are welcome, including kids! Youth under 12 must wear life jackets, which we carry in all sizes. • Dress in layers and bring rain gear. • There is a portable marine head on board, but not a fully enclosed bathroom. • The cabin is spacious, with huge windows, so you can escape any weather without losing sight of the action. • We're going to have a great time!
