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.
