We were picked up right off the ship on time, short drive to get on the boat! We caught fish just shortly after dropping our lines in the water! Brant was an excellent guide! Very nice and knowledgeable. Wish we could have fished a while longer!

Amazing experience....

Amazing experience. Captain Smithers made it a memorable trip and very knowledgeable and helped us check an item off our bucket list.

Fantastic Fishing Experience!!

This was the best fishing experience, Talon met us on the dock and we were fortunate that it was just the 3 of us. We hit the fish right away, caught salmon and rockfish and got to know this young man. Really enjoyed our 5 hour trip and they we caught so many. As a matter of fact, we decided to ship some home to Florida to enjoy with the family. Could not have gotten a better Captain, he really knew where to find the fish and we enjoyed the trip so much. It really was the highlight of all our activities we scheduled during our Alaskan cruise!

Limit catch

Steven_F, Aug 2026

From start to finish Baranof charters delivered. Great communication. Prompt pick up. Easy check in process. After 45 minute boat ride, Devin put us on the salmon. He skillfully managed four lines and five anxious fishermen. We have multiple hookups. Sometimes three lines tight at once. We filled the hold... three fish short of limit. Upon our return, the fish were sent to the processor for delivery to our homes. A wonderful day. Smooth and seamless with a quality outfit and captain that really knows their stuff. Four stars

Awesome honeymoon

An amazing experience all around. Can’t recommend enough! Caught a lot of fish and saw so much wildlife. Thank you for such a great experience.

Heavenly Halibut

Chris_R, Jun 2026

Very organized operation with good equipment. They provide rain gear as needed and rubber boots. Steve, the guide, was excellent and most importantly, we caught a bunch of halibut. Even the snacks were good.

Beautiful day

We had a great time on our fishing trip. The fishing wasn't amazing, but the guide can't control that. Gil was great and took us to 3 different places to try to catch. The other boats around us weren't having any luck either. We ended up catching 3. The views, the sound of the whales, the eagle, being on the water...all made it worth it. We came from a cruise ship so we were on a schedule. I feel like if we would have had more time, we would have caught more. Two of the three were caught at our last fishing spot.

Great fishing!

My husband and 2 brothers-in-law had an amazing time with Captain David and his excellent crew! They were on a new beautiful boat with an enclosed cabin and great equipment. We highly recommend this fishing excursion in Ketchikan!
