About Alaska King Charter
Alaska King Charter is a family-owned and operated fishing business based in Ketchikan that has built its reputation over more than 35 years of guiding on the waters of Southeast Alaska. Rooted in honest service and deep local knowledge, the company offers personal, small-group salmon and halibut charters that feel more like fishing with friends than a packaged tour.
Trips pursue king and silver salmon, Pacific halibut, rockfish and lingcod across the sheltered channels and open waters near Ketchikan, with half-day and full-day options to suit both cruise passengers and multi-day visitors. The captain provides quality rods, reels, tackle and bait, shares decades of accumulated local expertise on where and how to fish, and takes care of cleaning the catch. Processing and shipping can be arranged so guests can enjoy their Alaskan salmon and halibut long after they return home.
What distinguishes Alaska King Charter is its longevity and hands-on family ownership — the same commitment to fair pricing and genuine hospitality that has kept guests coming back for generations. With 35-plus years navigating these waters, the crew brings a level of familiarity and reliability that newer operators simply cannot match.
