Baranof Fishing Excursions operates guided fishing charters based in Ketchikan, Alaska, offering a range of private and combination trips that showcase Southeast Alaska’s marine fishing opportunities. The company runs private charters aboard a 30 ft cabin cruiser and a 24 ft cabin cruiser, and designs trips specifically for salmon fishing, halibut fishing, and multi-species combination outings. Baranof Fishing Excursions also provides experiential wilderness dining options, including a Cook Your Catch Wilderness Dining service and a Ketchikan Alaska Fishing and Wilderness Dining trip that combines hands-on fishing with on-site cooking at a fish camp.
Trips include fast-paced skiff outings where guests may be outfitted in rubber raingear and positioned next to a warm fire at the fish camp; these outings emphasize quick location changes and active fishing methods. Combination trips such as the Ketchikan Authentic Alaska Fishing Adventure allow guides to pursue the best opportunities of the day, switching between salmon trolling with downriggers, jigging for rockfish and lingcod around pinnacles and kelp forests, and bottom fishing techniques.
