Perfect family excursion, fishing was great, guide was amazing! - We had an amazing family experience with Jordan Rykert as our guide. We caught many fish and had a blast on the private island. The fish were prepared perfectly. My oldest build a swing and all 3 explored the island. Jordan shared stories and made this the best excursion we had in Alaska.

Fantastic fishing trip for newbies - We had an amazing time on our fishing excursion with Lindsey! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience both fun and informative. She knew exactly where to take us—within the first five minutes we had caught all the fish we needed for an incredible meal. After a few hours of fishing, Lindsey brought us to their campsite where she skillfully skinned and cleaned the fish, and then a chef cooked it up for us. The meal was absolutely DELICIOUS and such a memorable way to end the trip. Lindsey’s enthusiasm, expertise, and genuine love for what she does really shined through—we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Highly recommend booking with Lindsey!

Family-Friendly Fishing Adventure with Captain Kinani - We had an incredible day fishing with Captain Kinani! Our family caught 4 different types of rockfish, a rock sole, and even a sea star. The trip was perfect for kids — our 7- and 9-year-olds were entertained the entire time, and Captain Kinani was patient, engaging, and great with them. The highlight was the dining experience afterward. Our fresh catch was prepared immediately, top-quality, right on a beautiful beach. It was one of the best meals of our trip and such a unique way to enjoy what we had just caught. This was a memorable adventure for our whole family, and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Alaska, especially families with kids.

Ahhhlaska!!!! - Great time in Ketchikan, we caught Rock fish, Salmon, and a Cod. Then we went to a unique campsite on an island and ate the rock fish and salmon that we caught. We even saw a humpback whale several times. Lindsey was a great captain, even with an injured hand! Thanks Lindsey

Unforgettable Alaska Adventure with Baranof Fishing! - Had an amazing experience with Baranof Fishing Excursions! Our captain, James Smith, was fantastic—super knowledgeable, friendly, and knew exactly where to find the fish. Thanks to his expertise, the whole trip was smooth, fun, and successful. After catching our fish, Captain James cleaned it up for us, and we headed to a beautiful Alaskan beach, where a chef prepared our fresh catch. Everything was absolutely delicious—a true taste of Alaska! To top it all off, we ended the day with an unforgettable bald eagle sighting. Such a memorable and unique experience—highly recommend!

Great fishing and awesome meal. - This was a fantastic day. Our guide Allon was great and we caught plenty of fish. In fact hit our limit on one type and had to release some. There were four of us on the boat and we had plenty of room. The gear they gave us worked out well. It was a rainy day. Bring layers, we needed them. We watched Eagles diving down and fishing. The camp was fun and the meal we caught outstanding. Fires kept us warm and we all sat around and shared stories. Highly recommended.

Ketchikan Family Fishing Trip & Dinner - Chris Baldwin was the Captain for our fishing trip. He was excellent! He made great efforts to find good fishing spots. He was patient when we wanted to just take wildlife photos. He was very knowledgeable, answering not just our fishing questions, but also about the waters, wildlife, and life in Ketchikan. The dining experience was incredible. The food was delicious and the staff were wonderful. The site for dining was beautiful and Chris walked us around the area after we ate. We felt safe onboard at all times. I highly recommend the excursion. It will be a memory our family will always cherish.
