Fishing Charters in Seward Alaska, United States

Captain Bobby was fantastic, expertly guiding us to all the best fishing spots. It was great that he was also hands-on, jumping out on deck to assist all the anglers with catching and reeling in fish! Our first mates, Sam and Luka, were absolutely incredible—working tirelessly to take care of everyone and offering helpful tips along the way. We couldn’t have asked for a better crew! Saltwater Safari should definitely be proud of their team! 😊

We were first-timers, and it took us a while to get the hang of casting, reeling, and snagging properly. Gabe and Luis were incredible teachers, full of patience and guidance. Although we only caught two salmon between the four of us, we still had an amazing time and created unforgettable memories. The scenery was breathtaking, and the weather exceeded our expectations. One highlight was a close encounter with a bald eagle that perched less than 10 feet from our group—it was such a cool experience! We brought my 72-year-old mom along, even though she wasn’t fishing. Gabe and Luis made sure she felt included, providing waders and helping her with a short hike to the shore. A big thank-you to Luis for keeping her company while Gabe helped us fish. We truly appreciate the effort you both put into making the trip enjoyable for everyone! Afterward, we met someone who’d been fishing on a boat and had a similarly slow day, so it seemed the fish weren’t biting for anyone. Despite that, we’ll definitely be back for another try—better luck next time!

Both the captain and deckhand exerted considerable effort to position our group over fruitful fishing spots, resulting in abundant catches of both Salmon and Halibut. Our excursion, taking place on July 20, 2023, coincided with my 75th birthday, and fortune smiled upon me. I proudly reeled in the largest Salmon weighing 20 pounds and the heftiest Halibut tipping the scales at 82 pounds. Additionally, luck favored me with the capture of a stunning Yelloweye rockfish, which we savored grilled and devoured last night at our BNB. Our deckhand, had jokingly promised to take a plunge into the ocean if I landed a sizable Halibut. True to his word, he shed his clothes down to shorts and made a splash, diving off the top of the cabin. Overall, it was an exceptional experience, marking a splendid way to commemorate three-quarters of a century spent on this earth.
