Unrivaled Fishing Opportunities

Gustavus, Alaska, is a fishing paradise, offering access to the pristine waters of Glacier Bay and Icy Strait. This area is world-famous for its halibut fishing, with catches ranging from 100 to over 300 pounds. The calm waters of the Inside Passage ensure a comfortable experience, free from the ocean swells that can cause seasickness-regardless of the weather. Anglers can target all five species of Pacific salmon, lingcod, yelloweye rockfish, and more, with shallow-water fishing (90-180 feet) making it accessible for all skill levels. Expert guides with decades of experience lead our tailored charters, ensuring you hook the fish of a lifetime.
