While Prince William Sound offers world class fishing opportunities in protected waters, breathtaking scenery, and abundant wildlife. None of the locations we fish are road accessible, which limits the number of fishermen in anyone locale. More times than not, we are the only boat anchored in a cove or bay; the only people fishing in a stream, cove, or passage. Prince William Sound provides an unequaled wilderness fishing experience. Choose an all-fishing adventure, or combine fishing with sightseeing. Our Alaska fishing charters are live-aboard, which allows us to access the best Alaska fishing in Prince William Sound. We are not limited each day by distance from port, or distance from a fishing lodge. We can offer you more time to fish.

Alaska fishing options include deep sea fishing for Alaska halibut, rock fish, ling cod, and salmon sharks. More times than not, we limit out when fishing for salmon. We commonly throw back halibut, safely catching and releasing, because our guests have all they want to bring home. Fishing takes place on KnightHawK, or from our skiff. Prince William Sound is protected from the Gulf of Alaska and usually provides calm water for Alaska fishing. Evenings are spent anchored in protected coves, which at times offer more fishing opportunities amidst unparalleled beauty before calling it a night.

Services include lodging aboard our yacht, home cooked meals, guided fishing, deep sea and/or spinning tackle, lures, bait, ice, fish cleaning, and filleting, not to mention great conversation (from Karyn, and opinions from John)! Fly fishermen will need to provide their own equipment - everyone is invited to bring their lucky lure.

We are based at the port of Valdez, accessible by ERA Airlines, an affiliate of Alaska Air. We are 300 miles from Anchorage, 365 miles from Fairbanks, and can take you miles from everyone else.
