Captain Chris has been fishing the waters of Alaska every summer since he was just 8 years old—developing a lifelong passion for the sport and a deep connection to the fishery.

In 2014, his family launched their charter operation out of Ketchikan just as Chris was earning his captain’s license. Over the past decade, he has run charters between Alaska and Hawaii, targeting everything from salmon and halibut to marlin, tuna, and mahi mahi in offshore waters.

While Hawaii expanded his experience and skillset, Chris always knew Alaska was home. Now, he’s proud to be back in Ketchikan, continuing the family tradition with his wife Emily and their three kids.

Building on the success of our 2025 launch, the 2026 season marks our second year running our custom-built boat as a fully family-operated charter. We are more excited than ever to welcome guests aboard and help create unforgettable Alaskan fishing memories throughout this season and for many years to come.
