Adventure Fishing Tours

Hit the fish-rich waters of Alaska on this unforgettable fishing charter aboard a private yacht. Head out from Juneau for a multi-day expedition that’s perfect for everyone from beginners to hardcore anglers, as well as anyone who wants to join the adventure!

Aboard the Sir Reel

You’ll sail from Juneau on a custom-made, 50-foot Mikelson Sportfish yacht (named, Sir Reel) with a massive back fishing deck; there’s also an extended fly bridge that’s entirely enclosed. Using top-of-the-line equipment, you’ll fish for halibut, rockfish, lingcod, and salmon. You can even go after crab and shrimp. And you’ll cover lots of ground, roughly 150 in total. The yacht travels at 10 knots, giving you ample time to watch the abundant natural wildlife the coastal waters of Alaska have to offer.

Dine on the fish you catch, or take advantage of the commercial vacuum sealer and freezer to ship your fish home!

Choose Your Room

Accommodations will be in one of the yacht’s 3 cozy cabins. The Master Cabin has a queen-size bed and an attached head with a shower and bathtub. The Starboard Cabin has a queen-size bed with a single bunk above. The Port Cabin is smaller and can sleep 1–2 people. A second head with a shower is available for guests not staying in the Master Stateroom.

The yacht also features a 13-foot center console Zodiac, which is perfect for going ashore to enjoy hiking or beachcombing when you’re not fishing. Or take out one of the kayaks. There’s even a washer/dryer!

Gourmet Meals at Sea

Along the way, you’ll enjoy gourmet meals, house-made patisserie and elegant desserts, and beer and wine. Breakfast might be a four-cheese frittata, fresh bagels with lox and herb cream cheese, stuffed French toast, or organic eggs and bacon. Lunch will include items like gourmet sandwiches, deluxe salads with homemade dressings, grilled halibut, and hard-boiled eggs.

After a long day of fishing, settle down with a happy hour of delicious hors d’oeuvres, like ceviche made with something caught fresh that day, smoked salmon cream cheese dip, or Crab Rangoon. That’s followed by hearty dinners which feature items like blackened rockfish tacos, prawns and grits, or Alaska seafood chowder, or Captain Dave’s Vol-Au-Vent.

The Trips

Multi-Day

Embark on an adventure for 3 to 5 people. A 6-day journey takes you from Juneau to Elfin Cove and gives you the opportunity to spend a full day enjoying the unrivaled fishing on the ocean in the Gulf of Alaska—a unique experience that you can’t find everywhere.

Day 1: Travel from Juneau to Hoonah, with opportunities (which you’ll have each day) to fish, kayak, or hike. Enjoy halibut fishing, put down some crab pots, or even take a tour in Hoonah. You can even set up dinner with an Native Alaskan elder and learn about Tlingit history. 


Day 2: Elfin Cove. Explore this scenic area that includes a WWII artillery gun left behind, and enjoy a beach bonfire.

Day 3: Spend a magical full day on the ocean in the Gulf of Alaska. You’ll also have another chance to explore Elfin Cove and visit the museum. 


Day 4: Experience Flynn Cove, a stunning area near the entrance of Glacier Bay. It’s a great chance to see wildlife.
