About this activity

This fully private salmon fishing charter is designed around your group and your schedule. Unlike large shared excursions, you’ll fish alongside a licensed U.S. Coast Guard captain who focuses entirely on your experience. We target proven local fishing grounds based on daily tides and conditions to give you the best opportunity to hook Alaska salmon during your limited time in port. With dockside pickup coordination, flexible routing, and personalized instruction for all skill levels, you’ll enjoy an authentic Ketchikan fishing experience — not a crowded tour.

Wildlife sightings such as bald eagles, seals, and whales are common while fishing the scenic waters surrounding Ketchikan, adding to the unforgettable Alaska experience.
