Seward, Alaska, perched on the edge of the Kenai Peninsula, is an unrelenting gateway to wild, cold waters teeming with some of the richest salmon and halibut cuts in the world. Fish Seward Alaska offers full-day private fishing charters that deliver top-tier access to these bountiful fisheries, taking anglers beyond the crowded shoreline into deeper Gulf of Alaska waters.

Each charter is a private experience, tailored to anglers eager to land king salmon, silver salmon, halibut, and rockfish against a backdrop of orca pods or Steller sea lions playing just offshore. The guides combine years of local knowledge with skill in reading tides, weather, and fish behavior to maximize your catch and safety.
