Big Butt Charters is a licensed Alaskan charter operator specializing in full-day (8-hour) fishing experiences that target halibut, salmon, and rockfish. Capt. Jordan leads a fleet of well-maintained boats and brings local knowledge of seasonal bite patterns, structure, and prime fishing grounds to each trip.
Trips are offered as private charters or shared group experiences, with several itineraries branded under the “Booty Call,” “Early Riser,” and “Bait Ball” departures. All standard trips include fishing equipment—rods, tackle, bait—and hands-on guidance from the captain and crew. Private halibut charters specifically note post-trip catch cleaning for guests, so fish can be taken home or packaged for transport.
Safety and guest comfort are prioritized: vessels are equipped for day trips, and crews follow local regulations and best practices for safe boating and sustainable fishing. Guests are reminded to bring a valid fishing license, food, and beverages for an active day on the water.
Big Butt Charters is positioned for anglers seeking an efficient, high-value day fishing in Alaska: straightforward booking, predictable 8-hour itineraries, multiple species targets, and experienced skippers who focus on putting anglers on fish. The operation’s combination of local expertise, full gear provision, and private-boat options makes it a reliable choice for first-time visitors and returning anglers alike.
