HIGHLIGHT of our Alaska trip - What an amazing experience! Captain Jack was a wealth of information about the area. He was such a hospitable host with a comfortable boat! We had rainy/windy weather and his boat was enclosed so that we were shielded from the uncomfortable weather. Then the sun came out! Even if you catch NOTHING, the views are WORTH IT. We saw like 5 rainbows and Jack pointed out all the wildlife he could see. We got excited every time there was a bite! This was a highlight of our trip to Alaska and would recommend Jack’s boat a million times over!

You won't regret it! - Our trip with Captain Jack was great from start to finish. He was in touch with us beforehand regarding the weather, and kept us informed. He was so very friendly and personable, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. His brand new boat is beautiful and comfortable. He took us right to the spots where fish were biting, and although we didn't land any keepers, he worked hard to keep rods in the water to increase our chances. The experience was what we came for, and that we got! Thanks, Jack...we hope to go out with you again in the future!

Amazing personalized experience with Captain Jack - We went salmon fishing with Captain Jack and Fish-ability last week as an excursion from our cruise ship. Captain Jack provided an exceptional time on board, he was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We all caught something and had a good time. His boat is brand new and super nice. If we are back in Ketchikan, we will absolutely go out with him again. Thanks for everything!

The BEST Salmon Fishing Excursion in Ketchikan! - Alaskan Salmon Fishing with optional Adaptive Gear is by far the best salmon fishing excursion in Ketchikan, Alaska. If you’re looking for a Ketchikan fishing charter that is professional, comfortable, and truly unforgettable—this is the one to book. Here are a few reasons why this trip stood out: The fishing was incredible. We caught several beautiful salmon, and the crew arranged to have them shipped home—such a great touch. Our expectations were exceeded in every way. Captain Jack is outstanding. He’s knowledgeable, friendly, and an excellent communicator. He made both beginners and more experienced anglers feel completely at ease, and we loved learning about the local area between reeling in fish. The boat is brand new (August 2025), clean, spacious, and comfortable. There was plenty of room to fish, plus indoor space to get out of the elements when needed. Looking around at the other fishing boats, I was very glad we chose this one—it felt like a premium experience. Great for beginners and families. My wife had never been fishing before and usually avoids long boat trips. She reluctantly agreed to join—and ended up loving it so much she didn’t want the trip to end! This shows how welcoming and accessible this fishing experience really is. I love the concept of an adaptive excursion. He truly cares about this and is well equipped to handle it. This makes it one of the few truly accessible fishing excursions in Ketchikan, which means anyone can enjoy the thrill of catching Alaskan salmon. Excellent value. After researching many Alaska fishing tours, this one had some of the best pricing without sacrificing quality. The experience felt far more valuable than what we paid. 10/10—I highly recommend booking Alaskan Salmon Fishing with optional Adaptive Gear if you want the best Ketchikan salmon fishing trip. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, this is an unforgettable way to experience Alaska fishing at its finest.
