Welcome to Greatland Guide Service, your premier family-owned fishing charter nestled in the heart of Ninilchik, Alaska, a prime destination for an unparalleled Halibut fishing experience!

At Greatland, our passion revolves around the pursuit of Halibut in the Cook Inlet, home to the world's second-strongest tides. Mastering the art of Halibut fishing involves strategically leveraging these tides, as the change from high to low occurs within a crucial 6-hour window. It's during this time that the Halibut, being bottom feeders, present the perfect opportunity for an exciting catch.


Since our establishment in 1991, we have been orchestrating Halibut charters in Cook Inlet for groups of up to 6 people. Led by experienced captains Alan Goins or Chaz Gustines, our vessel, the Greatlander, is a 28' boat outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment to ensure an optimal fishing experience. Onboard amenities include a convenient toilet for your comfort.


Families are more than welcome to join the adventure, making it a memorable outing for everyone. The fish you catch during the trip are yours to take home, provided they fall within the legal limit, and our attentive crew is ready to clean your catch. Remember to bring a cooler to transport your fresh catches back home.We supply all the necessary equipment and bait, leaving you to only bring your fishing license, lunch, and rain gear.


Additionally, we offer deluxe lodging options near our charter office, complete with what our clients rave about as "A Million Dollar View." Don't forget to explore our gift shop, where you can pick up souvenirs, artwork, and trendy Alaska logo wear. But the adventure doesn't end there—explore our gift shop for unique souvenirs, captivating artwork, and trendy Alaska logo wear. Book your Halibut trip today and embark on a journey where every cast holds the promise of a lifetime memory. With Greatland Guide Service, it's not just fishing; it's an unforgettable odyssey into the heart of Alaskan excitement!
