Details

Located on the edge of Kachemak Bay, Homer, Alaska, acts as a gateway to some of the most productive fishing grounds in the northern Pacific. Captain B's Alaskan C's Adventures offer anglers an expert-led passage into these rich waters, combining rugged seascapes with opportunities to catch halibut, salmon, rockfish, and more. The fleet’s curated trips range from day-long halibut charters to overnight expeditions that extend into long-range waters where fewer boats venture, providing a chance to land trophy fish that define Alaska's commercial and recreational fishing heritage.

The waters surrounding Homer are famed for their depth and diversity. Fishermen aboard Captain B’s boats navigate through underwater canyons and near glacier-fed estuaries, locales that attract multiple species including king salmon, sockeye salmon, and the region’s prized Pacific halibut. The “Super Combo” trips maximize the haul by targeting three or more species in one outing, blending adrenaline and skill on the water. These catches aren’t just sport—they connect participants to Alaska’s fishing traditions, delivered with the safety and local knowledge of Captain B’s experienced crew.

What sets Captain B's apart is their personalized approach: equipment, bait, and techniques are adapted daily to local conditions. Overnight trips allow for deep water fishing possibilities, often increasing chances of hooking larger halibut or elusive rockfish. Homer itself is a working fishing town with an authentic vibe, lending a deeper context to any fishing adventure here.

Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer ready to handle heavy tackle surrounded by towering mountains and icy fjords, Captain B’s Alaskan C’s Adventures offers a distinctly Alaskan fishing journey. Scenic vistas, fresh seafood, and the thrill of the catch come together in a setting where nature is untamed and every cast counts.
