Our best excursion while in Alaska! - Eight family members (age ranging from pre-teen through early 50's) enjoyed a half-day of halibut fishing with Ketchikan's Finest Fishing Charters. Everyone had a wonderful day with only positive comments. Lots of fish were caught, laughter shared and memories made. The fish were filleted, packaged, flash-frozen and shipped to Oregon in a few days. I have already recommended the Charter company to a friend. The best excursion we experienced in Alaska!

Perfect Day - I would give this charter a 11/10! Captain Tony was on top of everything and made the day unforgettable! Hit our limits for both halibut and salmon all in 3 hours!! Wouldn’t change a thing about how the day went and how it was run. Everything was smooth and seamless from greeting us at the dock as we exited our ship to the very end. They even handled bringing our fish to a processor to have it over night shipped on our requested date so we would receive our catch at home. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a half or full day of fishing in Ketchikan especially if on a limited time window like we were being on a cruise!

Incredible Fishing Trip - We had an eight hour fishing trip with Captain Grayson. We went out with him about a year ago when he was at another company. We actually sought him out and found out that he’s at Ketchikan’s Finest Fishing Charters now, so we had to go with him again this year. He’s that d@mn good! We got our limit of halibut, limit of rockfish and while rock fishing, we went for salmon. We got other fish that we specifically asked him to target. We caught 34 fish between 3 people. One of us even caught their PB halibut (45 inches 50lbs) that we safely photographed and released due to regulations. This is an annual trip for us and we can’t wait to come back and roll with Captain Grayson. Not only is he an incredible, knowledgeable fisherman and multitasker but he’s a really thoughtful and righteous Cat. Nothin’ but love here!

Amazing Halibut fish trip! - My brother and I went on halibut fishing trip with Captain Grayson. He worked so hard to put us on the halibut. We were able to both get a nice halibut and also caught 3 cod.

Good ol boys - Lukas sat patiently as the grand princess ran late, had trouble getting the gang way set up. We were about an hour behind. Lukas got us in the fish by 8:30. Hit limits of halibut and rock fish by 9:15. We slayed the cod and filled up the cooler by 10:30. We all had an excellent time and laughed our asses off ! I’ll be back except no more Cruze ships for me!! Onto the next adventure
