Cruise and fish the open ocean, channels, and bays of Southeast Alaska — chasing halibut, salmon, lingcod, rockfish and more.
What could be better than a day of fishing for ling cod, rockfish, black cod, king and coho salmon, and halibut — or running crab and shrimp pots — while whales roll and bears work the shoreline? A multi-day trip. Cruise and fish the open ocean, channels, and bays, with every day tailored to your group: salt or freshwater fishing, crabbing, shrimping, hiking, kayaking, whale watching, and bear viewing.
Spend five days immersed in the beauty of wild Alaska. After a long day chasing trophy fish, kick back on the deck and watch the sun set over a pristine bay. The 67-foot M/V Desperado comfortably takes up to 6 passengers, and all meals are cooked aboard by your crew. Early-season king salmon combos run May through June; silver salmon combos July through September; rockfish and halibut all season; lingcod opens mid-May.
Free GAF tag included: due to changing halibut slot limits in Alaska, we include one free GAF (Guided Angler Fish) tag for any-sized halibut — a $500 value.
Whole-boat booking: this is a booking for the entire boat for your party alone. We do not run mixed groups, and we never combine hunting and fishing parties. Groups are limited to 6 guests so you enjoy the privacy of the whole vessel.
5-day / 6-night trip. A $720 sales tax applies per group. Season runs May through November. Want a custom itinerary or different length? Just ask.
Target species: halibut, yelloweye rockfish, king salmon, coho salmon, lingcod, and black cod — plus Dungeness crab and shrimp.
Lodging aboard, all meals and snacks cooked by your crew, ice, rods, reels & tackle, fuel, and one free GAF halibut tag ($500 value).
Guided, handicap accessible, kid-friendly, and great for families or corporate groups. Starlink keeps you connected as much as you want.
An Alaska sport fishing license is required and is the guest's responsibility — quick to buy online or in Sitka before you board.
Real trips, real fish.
