Seward, Alaska Half Day Fishing Species In Season Charter
Experience world-class fishing in Seward, Alaska with our 4 hours flexible half-day charters with the Thomasea! Our trips depart three times daily at 7am, 12pm, and 5pm and can take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour to reach the fishing grounds. With our custom-made-in-the-USA Thrasher Rods and our Custom made 6 passenger Landing Vessel, we fish for Non-Pelagic and Pelagic Rockfish, Pollock, Lingcod, and Silver Salmon (when in season). On occasion, king salmon may also be caught when fishing for silvers but the Avery H is our dedicated 5 hour charter that leaves from the harbor if you are interested in targeting Kings.
Our action-packed trips are perfect for those who don’t have much time, as we focus on harvesting the full daily limit and often have great success! Free parking at Millers Landing is included with your charter that leaves right from our very own launch/landing area in Lowell Point, just South of Seward!. Your trip also includes filleting of your fish and a private hanging station for photos. Be sure to grab a drink and a bite at our cafe before or after your trip!
Join us for a memorable fishing experience with world-class catches!
Fishing in the late afternoon and on half-day charters can be a great experience. These trips come with the added bonus of not having to compete with other anglers and calmer waters. The boat takes about 35 to 40 minutes to reach prime fishing grounds, either Cape Resurrection or Cape Aialik, and although sightseeing is not part of the trip it often comes with the sight of whales, sea lions, eagles and more while fishing.
Don’t want to come back at 9pm?…
Remember, in Alaska, it doesn’t get dark until after midnight in June!
Halibut may be caught but are NOT retained on these charters! If you want to keep a halibut, please join us on our full-day charter.
Please Note: 5pm charter not offered after 08/20 due to diminishing daylight.
Fuel Surcharge:
Please know that fuel is the largest expense we have as charter operators. Our prices reflect the price of fuel at the time of publishing. In previous years we have not added a fuel surcharge, however, due to the volatile and uncertain nature of fuel prices, Millers Landing reserves the right to add a fuel surcharge to the trip rates.
A fuel surcharge will only be applied in the event of soaring fuel prices based on the price of fuel at the time of your charter. Should the price of marine fuel remain under $4.50 per gallon there will be no additional charge.
This will ensure that we are able to take you to the best fishing grounds without regard for the cost of fuel or how far we must travel. By adding a fee schedule we can mitigate that concern, and provide you the ultimate fishing experience.
| PRICE OF FUEL | FUEL SURCHARGE |
|---|---|
| UNDER $4.50 PER GALLON | NO SURCHARGE |
| $4.51 – $5.00 PER GALLON | $10 PER PERSON PER DAY |
| $5.01 – $6.00 PER GALLON | $20 PER PERSON PER DAY |
| $6.01 – $7.00 PER GALLON | $30 PER PERSON PER DAY |
| $7.01 – $8.00 PER GALLON | $40 PER PERSON PER DAY |

We especially enjoy having kids join us for the ride. However, it is important to understand the following before you sign up. We encourage those booking with children to consider booking the whole boat, to ensure we can cater to those family needs without impacting others. If the children aren’t having a good time, we can not and will not return home to accommodate that need. We will have to fish first and cater to the group. So we let families use their own discretion when deciding if they’re ready for the trip.
If you’ve booked the boat: you are the group we cater to.

- A $10 cancellation fee is imposed for all reservations cancelled.
- Cancellations must be received by email only to reservations@millerslandingak.com. The cancellation notice date is the date the email was received at reservations@millerslandingak.com. Phone cancellations will not be accepted.
- Cancellations received by email 30 days prior to the first day of the reservation are charged a $10 cancellation fee and you will receive a refund of 90% of the total amount of the reservation.
- Cancellations received by email 15 to 29 days prior to the first day of the reservation are charged a $10 cancellation charge and you will receive a 75% refund of the total amount of the reservation.
- Cancellations received by email 14 days to zero days prior to arrival are charged a $10 cancellation fee and you will receive a 50% refund only if we are able to rebook your camping, cabin, fishing, kayaking, water taxi, shuttle, lunch, or activity. If we are not able to rebook your reservation, then no refunds will be issued and you will also be charged a $10 cancellation fee to your credit card.
- In some situations, a raincheck worth 75% of your reservation may be issued at the discretion of Miller’s Landing management instead of the applicable cancellation charge. If this option appeals to you, please suggest this at the time of cancellation. Rainchecks are good for one year and may be used for activities, camping, or lodging owned by Miller’s Landing or towards the cost of hats, T-shirts, gifts, etc. sold in the Miller’s Landing store or items sold online. For items purchased online, the customer is expected to pay for the cost of postage. Rainchecks may NOT be transferred to another person.
- A 100% refund will be issued for any activity that was canceled due to weather by Miller’s Landing. Miller’s Landing reserves the right to determine weather cancellations. Rain does not constitute a cancellation.
Please note: Miller’s Landing encourages only guaranteed prepaid reservations. Unlike many other states, Alaska has a very short tourist season, which can make it difficult for us to rebook when we have cancellations without ample notice.
If you are booking a charter and lodging and your charter, water taxi, or kayaking is canceled due to weather, you are still responsible for the lodging or camping reservations and the normal cancellation policy applies. All of our activities are possible during rain, so rain does not constitute a cancellation. Miller’s Landing is not responsible for vehicle break downs, personal emergencies, flight delays, health issues or other unforeseen hardships. We will try very hard to work with you, but the cancellation policy will need to be applied if we cannot issue a raincheck or find an alternative solution that appeals to both parties.
Please understand that Miller’s Landing also incurs a hefty financial merchant fee from our bank for the cost of charging your credit card and again for the cost of refunding it, and there is also a cost involved for the time involved in processing and refunding your reservation in employee costs. Our goal when taking your reservation is to have a solid, guaranteed prepaid reservation. We strongly discourage the practice of making reservations without having an airline ticket or making tentative reservations. Thank you for your understanding.
