Shape a five-hour Ketchikan fishing charter around your group, with an experienced captain, flexible fishing, and wildlife viewing options.

About this tour

Set out from Ketchikan on a private fishing charter built around your interests. With five hours on the water, you and your group can work with an experienced captain to shape the day, whether you want to focus on fishing or make time for wildlife and sightseeing.

Choose from a variety of vessels and target halibut, salmon, lingcod, rockfish, Pacific cod, or Dungeness crab. Private charters travel farther and spend more time on the fishing grounds, giving your captain flexibility to adapt the plan. Up to six anglers can come aboard, and fishing gear, rainwear, boots, hats, and gloves are provided.

You can also ask about dining options featuring your fresh catch, from a meal at a rustic fish camp in the National Forest to a chef-prepared dinner at the harbor restaurant after your return. A fishing license and gratuities are not included. Book a Ketchikan halibut and salmon private fishing charter and help shape an Alaskan day on the water that suits your group.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.98 from 44 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Ketchikan
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.4. Top 17% in Ketchikan means it ranks in the top 17% of tours in Ketchikan by this score.
