Icy Strait Small Group Halibut & Salmon Fishing

Excursion Overview

Icy Strait Sport Fishing Charter in Alaska’s Waters

Head out on the waters of Icy Strait with your seasoned local captain aboard a custom-built catamaran. You'll fish the waters of Port Frederick during peak season, with opportunities to target both halibut and salmon. Some days the fishing is steady, while other times you're waiting for that big hit that sends the reel spinning. Either way, you're out on the water with a small group and a captain who knows these fishing grounds.

This charter is designed for groups of four to six guests, so there's plenty of room to fish and get help when you need it. All fishing is currently catch and release, but that doesn't take away from the excitement of getting a halibut or salmon on the line. Guests ages 10 and up are welcome.

You'll also have plenty of time to take in the scenery along the way. If you enjoy fishing and want to spend a day on the water with a local captain, this is a great way to experience Icy Strait.

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