Big Irv's Famous Alaskan Fishing Charters
Join Big Irv's for a private 12-hour fishing adventure from Whittier, Alaska, targeting multiple species except halibut. Fish, explore, and enjoy stunning Prince William Sound scenery on this thrilling boat tour.
Big Irv's Famous Alaskan Fishing Charters operates guided fishing trips out of Whittier, Alaska. The company offers clearly listed, full-day 12-hour charters that take anglers into Prince William Sound and nearby waters. The advertised trip options include a Halibut & Rockfish Charter — a 12-hour excursion that targets Pacific halibut with additional time available for rockfish — and a Multi-Species (No Halibut) 12-hour option focused on other local species.
Each listed charter departs from Whittier and is described with a 12-hour duration, giving guests a full day on the water. The Halibut & Rockfish Charter specifically identifies Pacific halibut as the primary target, while the Multi-Species (No Halibut) option emphasizes a broader variety of catches over a full-day experience. Trip summaries highlight extended fishing time and the scenic setting of Alaska’s coastal waterways.
Big Irv's is featured on The Adventure Collective, where trip details such as duration, target species, and route context are available for review. That listing provides prospective guests with direct information to compare the halibut-focused charter against multi-species days. For anglers planning a fishing day out of Whittier, the published descriptions make it straightforward to select the charter type that matches species preferences and time availability.
