As the only member of my travel group interested in fishing while in Alaska on a cruise, I found some difficulty booking a charter for myself (while avoiding the cruise line headboats). Many charter companies would not book me unless I was willing to pay for the whole boat, which can be a little steep. Ultimately, I was referred to... More

Capt Dan was great. Overall experience was good and would recommend him highly. Saw lots of wildlife and caught plenty of fish. He was very informative and friendly.

The time was 6:00am and it continued to rain as we entered Ketchikan, Alaska. We had to be on the dock early this date as Salmon fishing was the order of the day, 7:00am and we were signing the charter boat’s paperwork. This was not a Princes excursion so Capt’n Dan admonished all we would be prompt about making the... More

Captain Mike on the Compadre gave my brother-in-law and I a great half day of fishing. Beginning with a little "spice" for our coffee, the trip was a complete success. After about a 30min ride where we saw eagles, mountains, etc, we got into a mess of pink salmon. A couple hours later I reeled in a 20lb king and... More

We paid our money and returned at 10.30 to be met by the representitive who told us there... More

This is my second time out with Captain John of Palm Tree Charters. First with my family and the second with girlfriends. All I can say is that it always the best day of our trip to St. John. John is knowledgeable, professional and very entertaining. The boat is wonderful and is so smooth cutting thru the water, even when... More

My son (7 years old) and I fished with the guide on a new, clean 30-foot aluminum boat and caught lots of fish in a 4-hour trip. Our guide was polite, fun, knew how to fish and how to make the trip fun and easy. He baited the hooks, dropped the lures, helped us know when we had strikes. We... More

Our friends along with us have fished with Ketchikan Charter Boats several times and have had great trips. They must have not had their morning coffee. The customer service and experience are awesome. We'll be back next year.
