About

The Halibut season runs from the beginning of April and extends through October, hitting its peak in mid-July. Halibut can be caught in waters from 50 feet deep to 1,000 and range from 10 lbs to 400 lbs in size! Halibut is one of the most desired fish to catch in the state of Alaska and the Halibut Only trip will keep you focused on landing the Butt of your dreams. Let us find the fish...all you have to do is land it.

Note to Customers: This charter typically lasts 10-12 hours. Passengers making individual reservations - If you have a time constraint and need to be back at a specific time, please book an entire boat (private charter) and let us know in the comments that you must be back at a certain time.


##What to Bring

  • FISHING LICENSE!!!! King Salmon Stamps are required in addition to your license in order to keep a King Salmon
  • Layered clothing is VERY important. Even warm days can get cool on the water, so more is better as you can always take layers off
  • Raincoat/pants
  • Shoes/boots (we don’t recommend cowboy boots) that can get wet, or rubber boots (we wear rubber boots)
  • Seasick meds - begin taking 24 hours before your trip on the water so that it is in your system well before we disembark
  • Sunscreen
  • Sunglasses
  • Camera
  • Lunch, snacks, and drinks (NO BANANAS!!!! THIS IS A RULE NOT A REQUEST).
  • Please bring plenty of drinking water. You are welcome to bring small handheld coolers but please no large or rolling coolers!
  • If you chose to bring alcohol please be courteous of others, and no glass bottles allowed

  • All tours will have a pre-determined route depending on the weather that day and it is up to the Captain’s discretion to deviate from that route for passenger safety
  • Tours last roughly 10-12 hours and will return to the port late afternoon
  • Pictures, filleting and showing off your catch for the day once we return to the harbor
