Fish Ketchikan’s deep waters with an experienced local captain, watch for whales, and enjoy coastal scenery on this five-hour trip.

About this tour

Set out from Ketchikan for a five-hour halibut fishing trip with Captain Jack, who has guided local waters for 15 years. All experience levels are welcome, and the boat can accommodate power chairs with adaptive gear on board.

Once aboard, head to the fishing grounds and drop your lines into deep water, where halibut may be joined by Pacific cod, pollock, lingcod, sablefish, and rockfish. Bringing a halibut up from 200–300 feet takes effort, so keep that in mind when planning for young children. Bottled water and snacks are provided as you fish, take in the coastal scenery, and watch for whales and other wildlife along the way. Captain Jack is happy to answer questions about life in Ketchikan, too. Legal fish can be processed and shipped for an additional cost.

Book your Ketchikan Halibut Fishing trip for a hands-on day on the water, with local insight and a chance to bring home a memorable catch.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • 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. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
