Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Always a stellar experience where the customer service is the only thing better than the fishing. I really enjoy the delicious dinners of panko ling cod, prime rib, clam chowder, etc. I can’t wait to come back!

We had a good time, good weather caught a lot of fish. Deck had was great, food was mediocre, lodging was OK. The orientation was an info dump of rules and regulations. I was disappointed that one of the owners hustled us for a tip.

An amazing family owned and operating lodge and fishing adventures. The food is amazing, the staff is warm and friendly. I didn’t fish and felt just as welcomed and cared for as those who fished. This was my first time, my husbands been 4 times. They take care of all the details…fishing gear provided, process and freeze fish for transporting home. Our last dinner we were given their cookbook. Just tonight I made the tuna zucchini cakes. Yummy!

This is my first time doing this, so I do not have any other fishing lodge to compare it to. We went from 6/10-14 and fished for 3 days. Situated in Sitka, AL. this wonderful fishing lodge is close to being perfect. Airport pick up and drop off. Your catch is cleaned, fileted, flash frozen, boxed and labeled for your trip home. It will be checked as luggage. It will stay frozen for 24 hours. Your party will stay in one or two rooms depending on the size of your group. The 3 of us were in a comfy room; great water pressure in shower & black out curtains! Breakfast served buffet style at 4:30 AM. 5-minute walk to boat, or a 2-minute shuttle ride. Boats leave harbor at 5:30 AM Killer sandwiches made by the Cap’n at sea accompanied with a beverage and chips. Back at dock approx. 3:30 PM or after you catch your day’s limit. Hors D’oeuvres served at 4:30, followed by buffet dinner. BYOB. B’fast and dinners were good, not exceptional, sandwiches were stellar! Fished for King Salmon (we did not catch our limit most likely due to our inexperience, (Cap’n had us getting bites), Halibut, Rockfish and Lingcod. Seas were too rough for us to try for Sable in deeper waters. Cap’n Chad and deck hand Isaac (Moose) were great. It amazed all of us how they knew that one of us on the other side of the boat needed some assistance without us having to call for them. They were very helpful in the various techniques for each species, personable and worked their butts off. This is a must trip for the experienced angler or the novice. Cute town (take the Zodiac tour if you can) and book early. They already are fairly well booked for next season

The Wild Strawberry Lodge/Alaska Premier Charters is a full service fishing lodge where you are served three meals a day, ride on comfortable state of the art boats and are provided rain gear and boots, saving room in your carry on. This was my first time to the lodge but second time to Sitka. Sitka's location is perfect for salmon and halibut fishing. Teresa and her staff do all they can to make your stay as comfortable as possible. You don't need to rent a car as they meet you at the airport and the boats are walking distance from the lodge. I came alone but was placed on a boat with other guests who weren't part of a larger group. We all got along great and loved our captain Dave Haapala and his deck hand Wesley. We lucked out with a great weather window on the water with minimal seas and sunny days after morning fog. The days can get long but the crew does all they can to make sure you have a shot at catching you quota each day. As a solo woman angler, I wasn't sure what type of experience I would have but there were other women there and the team does what they can to make women feel as welcome as men. Because the days are long, dinner is served at 6:00 and each night features two seafood dishes and one meat dish along with salad and sides and a homemade dessert. The lodge houses up to 42 people so its buffet style to keep things moving. If you want to go to town, they will drive you there after fishing and pick you up but it is walkable. Some people will stay in Sitka an additional day after finishing fishing to see all the sites and move to one of the other local hotels. All in all, a great experience. I hope to return again in the future.

In my early days, I spent years working and fishing in Alaska. I loved those thick, beautiful fillets I’d add up after dressing out my catch. I decided to blow a small fortune and go back to fish. Turns out through work of mouth that Wild Strawberry Lodge was recommended. Out on the ocean, my 6 member team caught a ton of fish! Even limited out on Halibut and Rock Fish. Everything seemed 5 star perfect. I returned home to disappointment. There were no “thick, mid-fish fillets”, only thin tail fillets, and aft gill fillets. That included the King Salmon I caught. No high value meat was included. All the vacuum sealed packets were marked except the Halibut. Strange. Wild Strawberry Lodge is definitely a 5 star racket.

And Will be the fifth time I’ve been there. The lodge and fishing boats are family friendly. Teresa and the staff are great, she is very accommodating. When you come back the staff knew my name. There is always staff around to help ya with whatever you need. The fishing boats are all top notch. The captains will work hard to get you on fish. They are great, can’t ask for better. They help you with everything even the younger kids. Can’t wait for August 17th.

If you experience the Wild Strawberry Lodge/Alaska Premier Charters there is no need to look anywhere else. Everything from lodging to meals to service at all levels and especially fishing is first class. I've been fortunate to have experienced this agenda 5 times and it just keeps getting better. Teresa and her entire staff are a joy to be around. Its a wonderful experience for all who participate.
