Awesome trip. Justin our...
William_B, August 2026
Awesome trip. Justin our captain was very knowledgeable. He also kept us entertained. Would defiantly recommend them.
★★★★★Viator review
Great fishing experience!
Erin_C, August 2026
We had a really nice time during this trip! We only caught a few fish but happened to be there on an incredibly sunny and warm day which made the fish swim lower so we couldn’t complain. Captain Moses and his son were incredibly knowledgeable and helpful on board. We also saw three orcas which also explained the disappearance of the fish. Overall it was incredibly cool!
★★★★★Viator review
Fantastic salmon fishing experience!
Benjamin_M, August 2026
Moses was an excellent guide for our family of four—my wife, our six-year-old daughter, my dad, and me. As a local, he clearly knew the waters and exactly where to take us. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trip enjoyable for everyone, including our daughter. The results spoke for themselves: in just three hours, we caught 11 salmon! It was a great experience across three generations of our family and one of the highlights of our Alaska cruise. We would absolutely recommend Moses to anyone looking for a fun and successful salmon fishing trip in Ketchikan.

Highlight of our trip!
Guide817486, August 2026
We had a great time with Justin! He made sure that even though we had a slow start with halibut, we had an exciting time with salmon. The scenery was gorgeous. The boat was comfortable. And the experience was overall, the highlight of our trip to Ketchikan! Thank you a thousand times!!
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Brilliant fishing experience
ExplorerNation, July 2026
We were honored to be on Captain Reggie's boat. This is our favorite company for deep sea and for salmon fishing in Ketchikan. It's a family company with excellent skills, and very professional business practices. You only find super clean and well maintained boats and equipment. The fish love this !! Thank you Captain Reggie!
