Big Alaska Fishing Charters: Valdez Halibut & Salmon Trips

Valdez, Alaska, sits where the Chugach Mountains embrace the northern edge of Prince William Sound, a rugged fjord system carved by glacial forces and rich with marine life. Around this wild, cold-water sanctuary, Big Alaska Fishing Charters anchors its reputation as the go-to outfitter for halibut and salmon fishing. Their fleet, including the spacious, stable Christie Lynnie vessel, offers anglers a safe, capable platform to pursue trophy halibut, rockfish, and silver salmon.

Big Alaska Fishing Charters operates a mix of half-day salmon trips and full- to overnight halibut and combination fishing excursions. These trips grant not only serious fishing opportunities but also a front-row seat to Alaska’s iconic coastal scenery — steep mountains rising straight from frigid waters, ice-blue glaciers, and occasional wildlife interruptions like sea otters and bald eagles. Captains Marc and the deckhand Max are praised for their deep knowledge of local fishing grounds and dedication to customer experience, ready to assist novices with patience or push veterans toward bigger catches farther into the Gulf.

The overnight trips stand out for anglers who want to maximize their haul and time on the water, often landing limits on halibut, yelloweye rockfish, and black sea bass. The crew’s attention to detail — from maintaining top-notch gear to helping with every step of the process — sets the standard in Valdez. Beyond fishing, these charters offer moments to pause for wildlife viewing and photography, blending adrenaline-pumping sport with nature watching.

For visitors seeking a true Alaskan fishing adventure, Big Alaska Fishing Charters combines expertise, comfort, and accessibility in a location famed for its untamed marine bounty. Whether it’s your first salmon trip or a dedicated pursuit of the deep-water halibut, their commitment to quality and respect for the environment makes this a rare opportunity in one of America’s most dramatic outdoor landscapes.
