All shared charters are single species, either halibut or salmon.
Private charters are tailored based on guests’ desires, weather conditions, season, and what fishing techniques/species are producing the best results at the time of your trip.

Your safety and the safety of the crew and vessel are paramount to anything else on the water. Please note the following important safety information:
- All charters begin with a detailed safety briefing prior to departure.

If a Small Craft Advisory, Gale Warning or Storm Warning is issued for Kachemak Bay, the trip will not depart that day and Day charters will be refunded. If the trip must be cut short for any reason after 5 hours on a full day, no refunds will be given. If a trip is cut short for unlikely mechanical problems, refunds will be prorated based on fishing time.
