Halibut Fishing Charters

Our halibut fishing charters offer an exhilarating challenge for anglers of all levels. Halibut are known for their size and strength, making them a favorite target for fishermen in Ketchikan. With over 40 years of experience, our crew knows the prime spots to drop anchor, ensuring you have the best chance of hooking a big one.

Our spacious fishing deck provides plenty of room to battle these impressive fish, and if the weather turns, you can relax in our warm, comfortable cabin.

The absolute best charter experience I have ever had. The team was the best, so nice, accommodating and kept great energy through some rainy Alaska weather. Can’t wait to get on another trip with these folks next time

Absolutely amazing fishing trip! We took 4 children between two couples and they were so amazing with the kids. Had snacks etc and non alcoholic drinks ready for us. They even had their mother’s homage smoked salmon dip which was amazing! We caught around 15 fish. They know their stuff, couldn’t recommend them enough!

Loved it! Jen and JR were great on the boat and lots of fun to chat with. Caught lots of fish! Fun time! Linda was so helpful on the phone when I reserved it, and she made the most delicious salmon dip for us to snack on on the boat!

One of the highlights of my Ketchikan experience! First time in Alaska, first time fishing… both Jen and JR did not disappoint! They were great, clearly knew what they were doing and were 100% accommodating to all levels of experience! I went out with a bunch of locals and they made me feel right at home👍 If you are looking for great local guides, experienced fisherman and an overall great time, I highly recommend them!

Jen and JR did an awsome job making our fishing experience for Alaskan King Salmon a trip to remember. It was a wonderful time fishing and seeing the beautiful Ketchikan area. Tonight we grilled salmon caught and shipped back home to us. Highly recommend our new friends to others looking to fish for Salmon. This was my wife and sister's firsts trip on a charter fishing trip, and they loved it.

One of the best boats in town! They can accommodate up to 14 passengers!! Most charter vessels can only take 6. Experience one could take the entire family!! I love going fishing with the entire family!!

I recently had the pleasure of embarking on an Alaskan fishing charter trip with Experience One Charters, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the moment we set sail from the picturesque harbor, the breathtaking scenery of Alaska's rugged coastline set the stage for an incredible adventure. The crew was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly, making everyone feel at ease regardless of their fishing experience. Jen, with her years of local expertise, knew all the best spots to find the most abundant fish. Her passion for fishing and the local ecosystem was infectious, and she was eager to share stories and insights about the area's wildlife and history. The highlight of the trip was undoubtedly the fishing itself. However, we were lucky enough to catch a variety of species, including halibut, salmon, and rockfish. The thrill of reeling in a hefty halibut while surrounded by the stunning landscape is something I won't soon forget. The crew was quick to assist with cleaning and filleting our catch, and they even shared some delicious recipes for preparing the fish back home. Beyond fishing, the charter offered the opportunity to witness the incredible Alaskan wildlife. We spotted bald eagles soaring overhead, playful sea otters, and even a pod of orcas in the distance. It was a reminder of the pristine beauty of Alaska's natural environment.
