Why Choose the 6-Hour Halibut Charter?

  • Access Distant Offshore Grounds & Reefs: Halibut thrive along deep gravel bottoms, underwater pinnacles, and tidal humps. Two additional hours allow us to travel past heavily fished areas to prime, high-yield grounds in the Inside Passage.
  • Longer “Soak Time” for Trophy Halibut: Halibut fishing heavily relies on scent trails and letting bait sit on the ocean floor. An extended charter provides the necessary deck time for scent fields to attract larger “barn door” halibut and give trophy fish time to bite.
  • Multi-Species Bottom Fishing: With six hours on the water, you aren’t limited to just halibut. Once you’ve limited out or worked the bottom, there is ample time to jig for aggressive Lingcod, Pacific Cod, and colorful deep-water Rockfish.
  • Tailored for Cruise Ship Travelers: If your ship has a longer port stay in Ketchikan, our 6-hour private charter delivers a full, unhurried Alaskan ocean adventure. We synchronize our departures with your ship’s schedule to guarantee a seamless, stress-free return to dock.
