About
Join us for a unique and up-close glimpse into the rich beauty, remote wilderness, and plentiful wildlife that exists right outside of our picturesque little town of Seward. Our Fish & Fjord charter spends half the time fishing for wild Alaskan salmon and halibut, and the other half exploring the beautiful scenery, glacial bays, and rugged coastlines of Kenai Fjords National Park.
We take small groups where the experience is authentic and personal. There’s no crowds to contend with here, just the opportunity to experience the magnitude of nature that has humbled, inspired, and drawn explorers to this wild landscape for ages. Our comfortable, heated cabin affords plenty of views from inside, and a partially covered aft deck provides an additional sheltered area in the event of foul weather.
Our friendly guides are eager to show you an incredible experience, share their knowledge about our unique local ecology, and assist you in having a successful trip catching your own sustainable wild Alaska seafood.
As per the state of Alaska there is no Halibut fishing on Tuesdays or Wednesdays in an effort to keep our fishery sustainable.
