About Alaska Ocean Pros

Alaska Ocean Pros operates from Homer, Alaska, offering small-group wildlife and fishing excursions that depart from the Homer Harbor. The company specializes in two primary experiences: an eight-hour Full Day Bear Viewing trip and a twelve-hour Halibut/Rockfish/Ling Cod Combo Trip.

The Full Day Bear Viewing tour crosses Kachemak Bay to Chinitna Bay inside Lake Clark National Park, where guests observe Alaska brown bears from a secure viewing platform under the guidance of an experienced naturalist who prioritizes safety and responsible wildlife viewing. The fishing Combo Trip explores waters around Kodiak Island and is presented as the Casino Combo charter with Captain Gabe. That twelve-hour fishing day focuses on halibut, rockfish, and lingcod using jigging techniques, with attention to sustainable fishing practices. Guides and crew provide gear orientation, safety briefings, and local knowledge about tides, seasons, and wildlife behavior. Boats launch from Homer, making Alaska Ocean Pros accessible to visitors staying in Homer and the Kenai Peninsula. The operator emphasizes naturalist-led interpretation during bear viewing and captain-led instruction during fishing charters, creating educational and active outings for photographers, anglers, and wildlife enthusiasts. As a Homer-based operator featured on The Adventure Collective, Alaska Ocean Pros connects travelers to iconic Alaska experiences—bear viewing in a national park and multi-species fishing around Kodiak—while maintaining safety protocols and a focus on conservation-minded practices. Trip durations are eight hours for bear viewing and twelve hours for the fishing Combo, with departures and returns at Homer Harbor to simplify logistics for day-trip travelers and photographers and families.
