Hope is docked at Pier F, Slip 47 in the Seward Alaska Boat Harbor. If you show up early and the boat isn’t there, don’t worry! We’re at the fuel dock. Go grab a coffee and rest assured we’ll be back on time to load up for departure.
Our boat is Coast Guard certified for 21 people, but we limit most of our trips to just 12. Hope has a LOA of 45' and passengers are able to fish all the way around our deck. You can fish with less people on a 6 pack charter — but with us you’ll have considerably more room.
Overnight charters are limited to 6 guests.
We will sure do our best! Sometimes we miss a limit, but most of the time we’re successful.
We generally fish for silver salmon (coho) and halibut. Often we’ll hook up to rockfish or lingcod, and we’ll occasionally get the rare pink or even king salmon.
Our largest sport caught halibut weighed in at 274 lbs and measured 6' 7".
The average sport caught halibut in Alaska is around 23 lbs.
Silver salmon range from 5-12 lbs during June through mid July, and from 8-19 lbs July through September.
Whatever you catch within your limit is yours. We’ll bleed and ice the fish immediately upon landing and our deckhand will fillet them for you. Once ashore, we will take the catch to be processed, and the options you’ll have are vacuum packing, blast freezing, or shipping to a specific destination.
We utilize some of the finest tackle available, including G Loomis rods for salmon with Shimmano Tekota 600 reels and Lamiglas rods with AVET Pro two-speed reels for halibut. We supply all the appropriate bait and tackle.
