Full Day Fishing And Sightseeing Combination Charters

Click Here for Secure Booking Form

Combination Fishing and Sightseeing Charters are often the perfect combination for the family who wants to see the Kenai Fjords National Park, and also wants to do a fishing charter but just doesn’t have time to do both. We take the best of both trips, and package them into one for a memorable Alaskan experience. You’ll have the opportunity to view whales, sea lions, and seabirds up close and at a casual pace on a small, personalized tour with a maximum of six passengers aboard. If you have a larger group than 6, we can also provide bookings for 43 foot boats taking 12 to 22 passengers as well. The limited amount of passengers makes for a private and personalized experience for excellent photo opportunities and relaxed fishing. You’ll appreciate the personalized attention when your Captain will stop for photo opportunities and answer your questions about wildlife as we encounter whales, sea lions, bird rookeries, glaciers, and other marine wildlife. Please remember though that the fishing time will be cut down considerably on these types of charters due to the traveling time in sightseeing, so you should not expect to limit out in fish on the fishing and sightseeing combination charters... But what could be better than making a great day out of doing a little of both?

Sightseeing Areas Include the Kenai Fjords National Park and Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge area and will cover the same waters for sightseeing that the various Kenai Fjords Tour boats encounter on their full day tours. We will go to the Chiswell Islands, famous for the many species of nesting seabirds and the Aialik/Holgate Glacier areas of the majestic Kenai Fjords. On your private cruise, you’ll see active calving glaciers flowing out of the vast Harding Icefield , bird rookeries alive with thousands of migratory waterfowl and beaches covered with barking Stellar sea lions. Whales are almost always seen on this beautiful cruise, as well as seals, Orcas, Dall porpoise, black bear, mountain goats, eagles, and other wildlife. Explore the mystical untouched fjords with awe-inspiring alpine, piedmont, and tidewater glaciers, cascading waterfalls, steep cliffs, tidewater caves and pristine beaches.

Fishing we will be targeting halibut, ling cod (in season) and black bass, or salmon (in season).

Pacific Halibut are the most desired and largest fish of Alaska’s sport fisheries, ranging to lengths of 8 feet or longer. They are plentiful in our waters throughout our fishing season of May through September. The record for Alaska is a halibut 459 lbs and over 8 feet long. An eleven year old boy caught a 340 pounder with us in 2000.  One year, our largest halibut caught was a 285 pounder. Sport caught halibut usually range from 20 to 50 lbs. , although larger fish are not uncommon. Generally we fish between 100 and 450 feet, with an average of about 300 feet. It takes about an hour and a half to 2 hours to get to the best fishing grounds. We normally drift over our fishing areas, and then pull up, and move back over it and drift again. Though we do drop anchor sometimes, we don’t believe in anchoring and sitting on one spot all day.

Black Sea Bass are both easy and fun to catch. They are the most prolific of the rockfish species and are found near shallow rocky areas.  Fishermen are limited to five black bass per day. These fish average about 4 to 5 pounds but range up to 12 pounds. We normally fish for them using medium weight spinning or bait casting gear, using hoochies and herring or shrimp lures. These fish are great fun for the young kids and big kids alike as they hit fast and furious. Sea bass (black bass) are delicious to eat.

Red snapper (Yellow-eye Rockfish) are one of the tastiest fish we have, and the limit is one per day. They are generally caught while fishing for halibut and ling cod. As you can see there are a good variety of fish to catch during a halibut charter, and all are delicious to eat. Last year, our largest snapper caught was 22 pounds!  State record is 38 lbs. 11 oz..

Silver Salmon start their annual return to their fresh water streams in mid July and August but can be caught in outer coastal waters starting in June. Silver salmon average from 8 up to 20 lbs and are a lot of fun to catch. State record is 26lbs. They put up a great fight on medium to light tackle and are exciting and fun to catch.
