An Unforgettable Halibut Fishing Experience
Experience the thrill of halibut fishing in Ketchikan, Alaska, where the waters are teeming with some of the largest halibut in the world. Our fully guided halibut fishing charters take you to prime fishing grounds approximately two hours from the dock, ensuring a high chance of landing a prize-worthy catch.
Each year, the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) sets regulations on the size of halibut that can be retained. Currently, you may keep one fish that is either below 40 inches or above 80 inches. Our expert guides stay up to date with the latest regulations to ensure you have a successful and legal fishing adventure.
If you’re arriving in Ketchikan via cruise ship, you’ll need at least 8 hours in port to participate in our halibut fishing trip. This allows ample time for travel to the fishing grounds, an exciting day of fishing, and a comfortable return to your ship.
