Ketchikan cruise Ship fishing and Wildlife Charters

Trip Options & Pricing

Whether you’re chasing chrome-bright salmon, dropping for deep-water halibut, or trying both, we’ve built our trips to fit perfectly into cruise ship schedules. All trips include gear, bait, safety equipment, and a fun, hands-on experience for all ages. All trips are available May-September*

1. Salmon Charter — 4–5 Hours

💲 $350 per person

Perfect for families, first-time anglers, and guests who want fast action without spending the whole day on the water. We troll in calm, protected waters just minutes from Ketchikan — most of your time is spent with lines in the water, not riding out.

Best for: Kids, beginners, short port stops, lots of rod time

Target Species: King & Coho Salmon (season depending)

What to Expect:

• 10–25 minute run time to the fishing grounds

• Action-based trip with multiple rods in play

• Great photo opportunities & high-energy fishing

• Back to your cruise ship with time to spare

2. Halibut Charter — 4–6 Hours

💲 $400 per person

If you’re after a heavy pull and a chance at a big flatfish, this is your trip. We run to productive halibut grounds and drop bait down deep — the bite can be strong and the fish fight hard. A fun option for guests who want a more hands-on, powerful experience.

Best for: Those wanting a stronger fight & bucket-list fish

Target Species: Pacific Halibut

What to Expect:

• Anchor or drift fishing depending on tides

• Fish that can bend rods and break a sweat

• Plenty of opportunity for halibut filets to take home

• Flexible to cruise schedules depending on travel time

3. Combo Salmon & Halibut — 6 Hours

💲 $475 per person

Can’t decide? Do both! We start by trolling for salmon, then switch over to halibut later in the trip — giving you a full Alaska fishing experience in one charter. This is the best value for those wanting multiple species, more action, and more meat.

Best for: Guests who want the whole experience

Target Species: Salmon and Halibut

What to Expect:

• Action-packed 6-hour adventure

• Hands-on variety from trolling to bottom fishing

• Beautiful scenery + great fish variety for photos & fillets

• The ultimate cruise excursion for serious memory-making
