We book single adults on the four-hour trolling for salmon charters with up to six Individuals max. All others require four people minimum to book.

If you would like to have the boat to yourselves, please let us know, and we can set up a private Ketchikan salmon fishing charter just for you!
Take your big fish home
It’s not worth catching the big fish if you can’t get it home and show it off. With our help, your “bragging rights” are safe. Through our friends at Cedars Lodge, for an additional cost, your fish can be professionally filleted, processed, vacuum-sealed, and shipped right to your home, arriving on any day you select. Fire up the grill and invite the neighbors to eat what you caught on your Alaskan Ketchikan fishing tours adventure!
