Schedule

Cruise Passengers

PIER PICKUP & ESCORT
Your guide or a crew member will meet you at the cruise ship pier holding a sign with your last name. From there, enjoy a short walk to our downtown marina and outfitting area, conveniently located near the port.

CUSTOMIZABLE WITHIN YOUR PORT WINDOW
Even with a limited timeframe, cruise passengers can enjoy a highly personalized experience. Whether your goal is to reel in halibut, target salmon, or spot whales along the scenic coastline, your guide can tailor the day to your preferences. Want to combine light fishing with more wildlife viewing? Just let us know and we’ll adjust your outing accordingly.

Note: Due to time constraints, crabbing and shrimping are not available for cruise guests.

LICENSING & GEAR-UP
Once at the marina, your guide will assist with a quick fishing license form and collect the state fee. While we process that, you’ll be outfitted with waterproof boots, bib overalls, hooded jackets, hats, and gloves to keep you dry and comfortable.

BOAT RIDE TO THE FISHING GROUNDS
Enjoy a short 20 - 40 minute ride to the fishing grounds. Keep an eye out for bald eagles, seals, whales, and even bears as you cruise through Southeast Alaska’s coastal wilderness.

FISHING
Spend the next few hours fishing for salmon, rockfish, cod, flounder, or halibut. Your guide will adjust techniques and target species based on what you’d most like to catch and what’s biting.

RETURN TO PORT
Cruise back to the marina with more scenic views along the way. Once ashore, your guide will ensure you're back at the ship well before departure.

We rented two boats for private fishing tours and [our guide] was very accommodating. All our captains/guides were very knowledgeable and shared in their knowledge of Ketchikan making our entire stay more enjoyable. The fishing was a great adventure! Thank you!

Had an incredible day with Captain Grayson! Took a private charter and were able to catch Salmon, RockFish and Halibut! He knew JUST where to go. Was knowledgeable. And worked hard to ensure we had an amazing experience! ….And having your fish cooked for you was just the icing on the cake—or berry cobbler as it happened to be! Cannot recommend [Baranof excursions] enough.

Jessica Wise

After we had caught our salmon, it was off to their private beach for an incredible salmon lunch. Captain Grayson filleted 2 of our fish right in front of us. And there was an amazing chef to prepare the meal. We plan to return for another fishing excursion. It was really the highlight of our entire Alaskan cruise! The 24 foot boat was very comfortable and very clean. We’ll be back!

Bill Q

We chartered a 30-foot boat for our party of five. The weather was lovely and we were thrilled to see whales along the way. Our guide, Lucas, stopped the boat and let us watch the whales for as long as we wanted. Then he took us to his secret spot and taught us to fish for halibut. We had such an exciting time. It was amazing. I couldn't recommend this adventure more. It was wonderful in every way. Thanks Lucas and Chef Zach.

    FAQ


    What makes a private charter different from a standard excursion?


    A private charter is completely customized to your group. You choose what to fish for, where to go, how long to stay out, and you can call us to include extras like Wilderness Dining or Crabbing.

    How many people can go on a private charter?


    All of our boats hold up to 6 guests. Let us know your group size and we’ll recommend the right vessel.

    Can I combine fishing for different species?


    Absolutely! As long as time and regulations allow, we’re happy to mix salmon, halibut, rockfish, and more into your day.

    Are there any additional fees?


    There’s a $15 fee for your fishing license, which may be purchased online in advance. Additional fees may apply for king salmon or halibut stamps, which will be assessed at checkout or with your guide prior to departure.

    What should I bring?


    Dress in layers and bring a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen. We take care of all the fishing gear and provide rain gear, too.
