Truly is Ketchikan’s finest!! - Absolutely amazing experience! I had the best time on this charter. The captain really knows his stuff—tons of fishing experience and insider knowledge. He took us to all the right spots and had all the tricks to help us reel in a great catch. We fished for 4 days and consistently came back with more fish than pretty much anyone else at the processing dock. Pretty impressive, especially since I’m not exactly a seasoned pro—he definitely could’ve caught even more if he wasn’t helping a newbie like me… All in all, it was an awesome, authentic Alaskan adventure and easily one of the highlights of my trip to Ketchikan. Can’t recommend this charter enough—way above the standard you’ll find elsewhere.

Best Fishing Experience - My husband and friends wanted to fish in Alaska while on a cruise. I found Ketchikan's Finest Fishing Charter on line and called. The Captain/owner was friendly, informative and overall terrific about helping me to set everything up. Captain Tony met us at the dock - no shuttle needed. The guys were on the boat within 10 minutes and catching fish shortly after. They had an awesome time!! We can't speak highly enough about their experience. Again, they were dropped back at the ship at the end. Fish processing was quick and we are now waiting for our receipt of fish caught (just returned from the cruise).

10/10 experience - It’s always fun spending time with friends and family on the water! Captain Tony was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. I do not have much experience with fishing but with the tips and help given was able to catch quite a few fish. And the scenery was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend this experience!

Lines Tight with Fish! - Had an awesome time out in the water with Captain Tony. Boat was very clean and the tour included the bait,tackle and reels for the whole group. Tony was very helpful in showing how the equipment worked and gave us tips throughout the charter on how to reel em in. We caught our limit on halibut, caught some cod and some snapper as well. Dropped the fish at off for processing and we were done with the charter right on schedule. Awesome experience and well worth the money. Thanks KFFC and thank you Captain Tony!

Captain Grayson Ketchikan Finest fishing adventure - Captain Grayson fought heavy fog getting us to the salmon spot then nailed rockfish- moved to halibut honey hole to get very nice size halibut.

Very Fun and Highly Recommended - This 5 hour deep sea fishing experience was excellent! Our captain Tony, was the best. He took us to the rights spots and was just very skilled and helpful! We were lucky enough to have a nice sunny warm day. Caught some very big halibut, cod fish, and lots of pink salmon. It was such a blast!

Book this trip - it is our family memory of a lifetime! - Hands down the highlight of our entire trip to Seattle and 7-day cruise to Alaska!! We originally thought we "needed" to book excursions through our cruise for the return guarantee, but I am SO GLAD I stepped outside of my comfort zone and booked this trip! I called months ahead of time and spoke with Lukas and he was really awesome, he asked about who was in our group and what we hoped to do and made suggestions - we booked the 5-hour Halibut and Samon fishing, private just for our family of 4 (son 28 / daughter 21). Prior to the trip we received emails, so we were on top of ordering our fishing licenses and knew where to meet. It couldn't have been simpler... Tony, our captain, met us right at port, took us immediately to our nice clean boat and about 45 minutes out to sea we were on our halibut spot. We aren't fisherman.... but boy did we have a BLAST! Tony got us up and fishing quickly, taught us the basics. He really knows his stuff and within about 15-20 minutes the fish were already biting! We caught 3 really nice sized halibut and a few other interesting fish too. We then decided to move to a salmon fishing spot. Tony was right on, and we had salmon biting the minute the poles were set. Tony taught us how to reel them in! Tony was an awesome captain, made our entire experience exceptional. In total our family of 4 caught 14 fish! We also saw sea lions. It was super easy to have our fish sent to our home on the day of our choosing and last night we made our first dish with our own Alaskan wild caught salmon - simply delicious!! Thank you, Tony, Lukas, and Ketchikan's Finest for a family memory of a lifetime! We would love to do this again!
