Excursion Overview

Home to Southeast Alaska’s iconic halibut fishing opportunities

A revered pastime in Southeast Alaska...set out on your 34' vessel, The Kraken for a halibut fishing venture. Hoonah is the place to be for trying to catch these "barn door" size fish. The largest halibut on record was caught inside the Icy Strait waters.

All fishing gear, bait, and tackle will be provided for this excursion. On those particularly soggy Alaskan days, warm up in the comfortable cabin. Before your trip, participants will need to purchase a State of Alaska fishing license which you will need to print and have with you while fishing the Icy Strait waters.

The charter runs between 3.5 - 4 hours to optimize your time fishing. Enjoy learning from an experienced Captain who has a lifetime of anecdotes and knowledge to share. Hoonah is just a stones throw from Icy Strait where your fishing adventure awaits.

Send your catch of the day back home!

If you choose to have your catch shipped home, your catch can be delivered to the local processor who will fillet, vacuum seal, and freeze your catch, then ship via Fed Ex upon your arrival home. This is at an additional expense and the cost depends on the weight of the fish.

This was the best thing we did on our trip! Lucas was phenomenal. We caught tons of halibut. And saw humpback whales and brown bears on the rocky beaches while we were fishing. We also learned a lot about the local area and the Alaskan hunting, fishing, and nature. We were able to ship our fish home too!

This excursion did not disappoint. Lucas was well prepared and we hit the water as soon as we arrived to the boat. Within minutes we saw whales and shortly after that we were catching Halibut. Lucas went out of his way to make sure we caught fish, and afterwards, took us to a place that would process, package and send us the fish back home. I would highly recommend this trip!
