Juneau Halibut Fishing Private Charter

There is no minimum age to participate. Any child, no matter what age, counts as one of the five maximum passengers onboard.

A State of Alaska Fishing License must be purchased in advance of this excursion. Guests ages 16+, please visit Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game to purchase and print your Non-resident 1 Day Sport Fishing License for $15.

Bait, tackle, and gear are provided.

Personal rain gear is not supplied. We recommend dressing in layers – t-shirt, sweatshirt, rain layer, long pants, and any soft-soled shoes you are comfortable in. The weather can go from rain to sunshine and back again in a few short hours as Juneau is located in a temperate rainforest.

Rain gear and warm layers for cold weather or sunblock for sunny days. Your camera, cash for gratuities, and your favorite snacks, sandwiches, and drinks are also recommended

Any fish you catch, within the limits, are yours to keep if you’d like. We work with a local fish processor to have your catch processed and shipped to your home at a fee. If you would like to pay the processor to process and ship, there are easy order form cards for you to fill out on board so that you can keep track of your fish and ensure it is processed to your specifications.

The private charter can accommodate up to 6 passengers. Any child, no matter what age, counts as one of the six maximum passengers onboard.

Yes, a restroom is available.
