ABOUT ALASKA OCEAN SAFARIS
Born and raised in Washington, Chris started fishing in Alaska when he was 8 years old going every summer. In 2014, his parents started an outfit out of Ketchikan while he was just getting his captains license. Running charters then between Ketchikan and Hawaii the last 10 years, Chris met his wife Emily in Hawaii and now have 3 kids together. 2025 will be the first season in their new boat for this family run charter. We are looking forward to creating timeless memories for families and groups as they embark on an Alaskan adventure for years to come.
