Alaska Fishing Charters: Alaska's Exhilarating and Celebrated Fishing Journeys - By: Trevor Price

If you want to take home a trophy King Salmon or find yourself on some of the most secretive fishing waters in Alaska, you're better off hiring the services of Alaska fishing charters or guides. Because an experienced charter company knows the waters, the fish migration and the best locations, you're often better off with a guided experience. So, if you're looking for a charter company in Alaska, keep reading for a list of award-winning Alaskan fishing charter companies.

Puffin Alaska Fishing Charters

Puffin Fishing Charters focuses on both fishing and incredible natural sights. Their areas include Nuka Bay, Resurrection Bay, the Kenai Fjords National Park, Prince William Sound and the renowned Montague Island.

Puffin is known for fast boats, an experienced crew, high-end equipment and a strong level of customer service. Their focus is sport fishing, particularly salmon, lingcod, rockfish and halibut. The company is based in Seward, Alaska and offers both private and group charters.

Alaska NW Charters and the Caledonia

Recently featured in National Geographic magazine, this highly personalized charter company offers 5-star luxury dining aboard a private yacht for eight. The crew includes a fishing guide, naturalist, hostess and captain - all available to serve and ensure that you and your group have the Alaskan experience of a lifetime.

If you're thinking a private yacht is an expensive way to experience and fish Alaska, think again. The cost of chartering a private yacht is typically no more expensive than what you'd pay to book a cabin on a massive cruise ship. The difference is that on a cruise ship you'll be sharing your experience with 2000 other strangers.

The Saltwater Safari Company

With affordable rates for most anglers and a strong focus on halibut and salmon deep-sea fishing, Saltwater Safari has built a reputation on experience, quality and value. Their rates range from $200 to $325 for the half day to full day, and they also offer private group bookings.

Keep in mind though that licenses, meals and fish processing will all cost extra. However, like most Alaska fishing charter companies, Saltwater provides bait, tackle and filleting - a nice benefit.

When it comes to Alaska fishing charters, you have hundreds of choices. So, the three companies above simply represent a cross-section of what's available, but there are still a lot of choices out there. If you don't use one of those referenced here, look for one that has strong customer testimonials, a solid catch track record and an experienced crew.
