Ear Mountain Charters is a locally owned charter operation based in Hoonah, Alaska. Founded as an active business in 2008, the company draws on decades of local fishing experience—Captain Eric and the crew have been fishing these waters since 1988. Ear Mountain Charters operates a 2019 North River 32 ft vessel equipped for comfort and safety, featuring a heated cabin, onboard bathroom, seating for six, twin 250 horsepower engines, and a 25 HP trolling motor.
The charter company offers clearly defined trip options: Full Day Charters (7 hours) and Half Day Charters (3.5 hours), each available for salmon and halibut fishing or whale watching. Trips depart from Hoonah and run through the productive Icy Strait Waters, a well-known area for both fishing and humpback whale activity. Ear Mountain Charters emphasizes experienced local knowledge, vessel readiness, and straightforward trip descriptions to help anglers and wildlife watchers choose the right experience.
Safety procedures, experienced navigation, and a commitment to honest, third-party service descriptions are central to the business. The vessel’s size and amenities suit small groups, families, and serious anglers seeking guided access to Icy Strait fishing grounds or whale viewing areas. Booking information and trip details are provided directly by the charter operator, and availability varies by season and weather.
