Icy Strait Small Group Halibut & Salmon Fishing

Excursion Overview

Icy Strait Sport Fishing Charter in Alaska’s Prime Waters

Set out across the pristine waters of Icy Strait, where towering mountains meet the sea and some of Alaska’s richest fishing grounds await. Guests join a seasoned local captain aboard a custom-built catamaran, heading into the productive waters of Port Frederick during peak season. With lines in the water for both halibut and salmon, each moment builds anticipation, whether it’s the steady pull from the depths or the sudden strike that sends reels spinning. This small-group experience keeps things personal, giving every angler space, guidance, and a front-row seat to Alaska’s beauty.

Designed for groups of four to six guests, this small-group charter offers a personalized experience on the water. Please note that all fishing is currently catch and release, but the thrill of the chase and the opportunity to reel in impressive fish remain just as rewarding. Open to guests ages 10 and up, this adventure blends scenic beauty with hands-on excitement, an unforgettable way to experience Icy Strait through the eyes of those who know it best.

This tour is typically available from May through September. Our excursions were designed for cruise ship passengers but are available to everyone.
