Ketchikan Finest Fishing...

Jodie_M, Jun 2025

Ketchikan Finest Fishing Charters were amazing to work with. Our son's dream trip was fishing in Alaska. Capt Grayson went above and beyond to ensure that our son not only got to fish but caught fish. He was very invested in making sure our son got to experience it all. Also, they were very good at communicating with us to make sure we had the licenses and to let us know where they would be when we got off our cruise ship. Capt Grayson also dropped us off closer to the restaurants and shops of Ketchikan so that we didn't waste time walking from the cruise terminal to get something to eat. They are a smaller outfit but I would absolutely recommend these wonderful people for anyone looking for a fishing charter in Ketchikan!

Great fun

Very flexible-slow unloading our ship, boat captain waited, boat was very nice, well equipped and fishing was fun.

Experience Alaska the Right Way!

Had an awesome time with Captain Tony! Comfortable well stocked fishing boat on a private tour in the beautiful passage ways of Alaska. It was a highlight of our trip.
