Ketchikan Fishing Charter Rates
Straightforward per-person pricing with no surprises. Gear, tackle, and bait are on the boat and included on every fishing trip.
| Trip | Time on the water | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-Day Fishing | Approx. 6:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. | $575 / person | Four-angler minimum, or book the whole boat. Our recommended trip: the range to reach the farthest grounds and the time to fish them. |
| Half-Day Fishing | Roughly half the day | $400 / person | Good when time is tight; boat travel limits which areas we can reach. |
| Full-Day Adventure / Scenic Cruise | Full day | $500 / person | See Southeast Alaska by water without fishing as the focus. |
Trips run with a four-angler minimum. Have fewer than four? Reserve the whole boat for $2,300 a day and keep it to your party, or ask us about sharing the boat with other anglers on your date.

Deposits & payment
A 30% deposit reserves your date, and it is nonrefundable. The remaining balance is due before departure. We’ll walk you through payment when we confirm your booking.
Groups of one to three? Ask about shared charters
Solo angler or a small group? We try to match parties of one to three anglers with others who want the same date, so you can split the boat and everyone fishes. A match depends on who else is booking, so it can’t be promised, but it never hurts to ask. Mention it in your trip request. And if you’d rather skip the matching, reserving the whole boat for $2,300 a day makes any group size work and keeps the trip yours alone.
Have questions about weather, cancellations, or rescheduling? Ask when you book and see the FAQ. We’d rather over-answer before your trip than surprise you at the dock.
Lock in your date
Peak summer dates go first. Send a request and we’ll confirm availability, usually within a day.
