Our Packages

Salmon Fishing

Salmon has become one of the most popular seafood selections at restaurants and grocery stores, thanks in part to the rise in commercial fish farming. Yet what’s missing from the salmon found in your local bistro or market are two things – the chase and the taste.

Not only is the thrill of the catch an experience you’ll never forget, nothing in the world matches the rich, flavorful taste of wild-caught salmon – whether King, Silver or other species. It’s all waiting for you here in the “Salmon Capital of the World.”

Halibut Fishing

The Pacific Halibut is the largest flatfish in the world, known for its sweet, delicate flavor. But don’t let its refined taste fool you. This is one aggressive fish and when hooked on a line will give you a battle to remember.

These monsters of the deep can weigh up to 500 pounds, though average catches run from 30 to 60 pounds – more than enough for great eating and unforgettable stories!

Combination Charter

Our 4 and 6-hour charters are specifically designed for cruise ship passengers or visitors with an extended stay in Ketchikan and are personalized based on your interests. Get the best of what we have to offer with a combination charter where you'll have the opportunity to catch both Salmon and Halibut!

What Our Customers Have to Say

"Stop looking elsewhere! I am the type of read all the reviews and the best deals before I spend my money. This trip is hands down blew every expectation I had out of the water! William (our captain) made our Alaska trip exceptional. He picked us ip 10 steps from the boat and whisked us away for the time of our lives! William took us directly to a spot where we couldn't even get our line all the way down before the fish were on our hook. And DON'T waste your money on the cruise ship excursions...William watches the time to make sure you are back on the boat while he takes your fish to be processed for you. "

"Absolutely AMAZING TOUR !!! After we looked at all the great reviews we decided to try it out ! 100% will do it again ! William our tour guide picked us off 10 feet for our cruise, very convenient! He is very knowledgeable about all the types of fish , as well as the exact spots where fishes will be at!

He is also great with time management to make sure you don’t miss your cruise! Make sure you book in advance , because these tour get booked fast ! My husband and I both caught a large halibut! Definitely was an amazing experience!"

I had the pleasure of spending 2 days aboard Captain Williams boat. The boat was spacious and perfect for the 4 of us. Will was patient and took the time to educate us after we booted the first few fish day 1. A couple hours in we were pulling in salmon one after another. Day 2 started slow but Will assured us “Don’t worry, we’ll find them.” He didn’t disappoint with that promise. Another day coming back with full coolers. I recommend anyone traveling to Ketchikan to seek out this great Captain. Getting to know him over 2 days was one of the highlights of the trip."."

Cruise Ship Guests Can Save Money

Here is where we try to talk you out of purchasing your charter fishing in Ketchikan trip from a more expensive fishing excursion on the ship and to book a private charter with us.

If you get one of the fishing excursions from the ship, you will pay way more and not know very much about it.

You’re not going to know things like the condition of the boat or gear, its size, the number of downriggers or how many fishing poles will be used at one time is it clean, is there a toilet, etc.

You will get on a bus with the other people that are going fishing, driven to the dock where you will be grouped up with others that will be in your fishing group and taken to the boat.

In most cases, there will be six of you on the boat. But in some cases, it could be more. It can still be fun, but you also have to share the fishing poles. If the boat should only catch a few fish, you may not get to be one of the lucky ones. In my opinion, this is all about the bottom line and not what is best for the customer. I can only think of one case where this works out in your best interest, and that is if you’re the only one in your group that wants to go fishing because all of the charter boats have a two – four-person minimum.

Large Groups

We work with an elite group of charter companies that also meet our high standards, so no matter how large your group is we can accommodate you and your group’s needs.  We have the ability to work within your time schedule so you can chase your charter fishing Ketchikan Alaska fishing dreams on the best-equipped boats in Ketchikan.

We understand

That many of our guests might only get the opportunity to fish in Alaska once in a lifetime.  We never take it for granted and our goal is to make it the best fishing experience we can.  We work hard to make it not only a lot of fun but do in it in the safest manner possible.  Fish On!!

Peak Salmon Runs

At the  peak of the salmon  run, it’s very common catch anywhere from 2 to 4 salmon at the same time. When this happens, there are few things more exhilarating. The salmon are running all around in different directions and it’s one of the most astonishingly beautiful things to witness and experience.

A huge benefit to all of our customers is that we dock our boat at Clover Pass Resort. At Clover Pass Resort we are just around the corner from some of the best salmon fishing in all of Alaska. Being so close to these areas means that we are able to spend more time fishing and less time getting to and from the best fishing areas in the region. When you fish with Oasis, you’ll get to fish in Ketchikan and experience Alaska as many of the locals do.

Fish Processing

Upon the completion of your charter trip, Clover Pass Resort is set up to process your catch and get it delivered to you. Clover Pass is top-notch and takes great pride in what they do. You can see how the fish is processed and then just relax.

My name is aaron ramirez and i am the owner and operater of ketchikan fishing expeditions..

Aaron was born and raised in the Sierra Nevada mountains of central California. From a young age he developed a love and passion for hunting and fishing that surprised even his parents who were avid outdoors people themselves. From offshore fishing the California coast to hunting mule deer in the high sierra, Aaron left no stone unturned and no adventure as a mere dream.

The need for adrenaline and excitement didn’t stop at fishing, hunting, and winter sports. Through high school and college Aaron rode bulls competitively in the CCPRA (California Cowboys Pro Rodeo Association). This was a way to make some money and scratch the adrenaline itch while pursuing his bachelors degree at California State University, Fresno. Through this community Aaron met a good friend who would lead him to Alaska and a new adventure.

After a few conversations with this new friend a goal was made, Aaron was going to secure his captains license and head to Alaska to try his hand at professional guiding. This was no small feat while pursuing a degree, rodeo, work, and balancing a social and family life. Over the next year Aaron studied and acquired the last of his needed sea time to qualify for the USCG exam. Just a few months before he was due in Alaska the goal was completed and he had a USCG 50 Ton Masters License. 

This was now over ten years ago and Aaron has continued pursuing his outdoor passions to the fullest. This is what makes him the captain and guide that he is. Not only does he have the intimate knowledge of the waters surrounding Ketchikan after a decade of guiding and thousands of days on the water but he knows how to help his guests immerse themselves into nature in a way that will leave them wanting more.

What Folks are Saying

Expectations Exceeded

Booked with Santa’s Choice Charters to take my parents fishing in AK for the very first time and my expectations were exceeded on every level. Alex is incredibly knowledgeable about running a boat, where the fish are, etc.

Kiley Matthews, Google Review

Best Captain Ever

Alex is a fish whisperer. A natural. Alex knows the secret places to make a haul. He is experienced, intuitive, and an expert. Alex also is nice to hang out with and watch in action. He is a machine.

Great Guide

There are many guys who make the claim of a great fisherman but there are few who just prove it without saying it. That’s exactly what Alex did.

Kevin Nolan, Google Review

Looking Forward to More

I had an absolute blast fishing with Captain Rudolph. As someone with not a lot of experience I appreciated his patience and thorough guidance throughout the whole process. Can’t wait to come back!

Excursion Overview

Cook your catch wilderness dining adventure.

Your tour begins at a private downtown marina, where you are outfitted head to toe. You'll board an open-air boat and glide into a breathtaking landscape. Head out past the busy charter fishing areas and into secluded locations for wildlife viewing and remote fishing. With custom light tackle, you'll experience the thrill of angling for numerous Alaskan bottom fish species and whichever of the five species of Pacific salmon are in season. Depending on what salmon are running, and what technique has been working best lately, salmon fishing options are trolling, jigging, and mooching. Most folks catch fish - this excursion is renowned for the highest catch rate of any Alaska fishing experience! Your skiff then heads to a wilderness campsite where a crackling fire awaits. You'll settle into the stillness of the rainforest, rest on a beach log and breathe deeply among centuries-old spruce trees and fragrant cedars. You'll experience this outdoor culinary adventure as the camp cook blends homemade fish broth and delicately seasoned potatoes. You'll dine on your freshly caught bottom fish served atop a saffron-infused bouillabaisse, and savor fire-warmed sourdough rolls, signature rhubarb-blueberry bread pudding, and steaming mugs of coffee or hot chocolate. It's no wonder Food & Wine magazine rated this "The world's best camp meal ever." If salmon are in season and your group managed to land a couple, our cooks will grill it fresh over the fire for a true Southeast Alaskan experience. Your tour concludes with a short walk back to the ship and memories of fish tales with friends old and new.

Frequently Asked Questions

A skiff is an open boat that is propelled by an outboard motor. A skiff is a modern cousin to Vancouver's longboat or the Native Alaskan oceangoing canoe. We operate 20 ft. Raider skiffs equipped with Honda 90 HP outboard motors.

We like to ensure that all guests are as comfortable as possible when joining us for their fishing adventure. Therefore, we limit guests to 5 in each skiff, but the average is 4.

Each guest is provided with Helly Hansen waterproof rain pants, a raincoat, a warm wool hat, wool socks, rubber boots, and gloves. You will be prepared for any weather (and you'll definitely want to have someone take a photo of you dressed in true Alaskan fashion!). We are proud to feature Penn rods on our excursions and a selection of rods that varies depending on the species of fish we are pursuing.

If you have any food allergies, please inform us at checkout. There is no shellfish included in the meal.

We have been operating fishing tours for ten years, and we rarely have passengers that have to deal with seasickness, even those who are prone to motion sickness are comfortable on our boats. The boats which we operate have a low center of gravity, eliminating the rolling motion that usually generates a queasy stomach. However, if you do get sick there will be no extra charge.

In order to fish, the State of Alaska requires you to purchase a one-day Alaska fishing license. The cost of a non-resident 1-day fishing license is $20.00. King salmon tags are an additional $10.00.

On jul 2024.

Outstanding event. Grayson was terrific. He made the seven of us strangers feel like friends. The dishes at the campsite were amazing. My son doesn t even like fish and he loved what we caught.

We had a great, great experience! Our captain, Kyle was skilled, informative and had a good sense of humor. I caught the biggest fish of my life with him! And then we barbequed it!

This was one of the highlights of my Alaska trip. We caught rockfish and salmon. Our captain was amazing and very patient with two of our beginner fishermen. The meal they prepared was the best fish I have ever eaten. It was beyond good. I would highly recommend this excursion for everyone.
