This would have been my 9th trip with Angling Unlimited. I have been a loyal returning customer. When I called to see if I could get a credit towards next year I was told that "it is not,our policy". There are exceptions to every policy made. I feel like I've been loyal to them for eight plus years and they would not bend their policy to help me out! If they would have offered a 50% credit, I would have been happy with that. I am so disappointed in their response. I was told that because there was only 3 fishermen on our boat that they couldn't do anything for me, but I know within our group, which had a total of three boats that one of the boats had only 3 fishermen on it. A small company should be able to "bend" their policy for a returning loyal customer. Rick Granzella

There's fishing charters and there's Angling Unlimited. After spending 20 + years fishing in…read moreAlaska, I discovered Angling Unlimited (AU) about 7 years ago. This charter company isn't the run of the mill type of business. It's a boutique charter company that prides itself in customer service. From the moment you step off the plane in Sitka until the day you leave, you are treated with the best customer service imaginable. The Captains at AU are all seasoned Captains. Each fishing group is assigned a hostess to make sure your needs are met. You have a car to use to sightsee, shop or go to dinner after a full day of fishing. The rooms have kitchens and porches have BBQ'S. There's not much, if anything, that they don't provide for you. I can't guarantee that you will catch your limit of fish each day but I can guarantee a great experience...

Our captain Nate must be related to Aquaman - he has an uncanny ability to know how long to fish one spot before trying another. First mate Malachi kept all lines untangled, all hooks baited, and made sure our fish were cleaned/filleted beyond restaurant quality. Back ashore, Kristi and her staff kept our bellies full with just-right family comfort food, and clean, quiet 4-start equiv hotel level accommodations for rest. Would def go again! Pro tip: Bring a seasick patch (Scopolamine). I'm normally sea-sensitive, but between the patch and Nate's boatmanship, I had no problems whatsoever.

We…read morehad a group of six friends, four from Hawaii and two from Sacramento, and we met in Sitka for what turned out to be an epic fishing adventure. The staff at the inn was friendly and accommodating from the very start it seemed that there was nothing they wouldn't do to make our stay enjoyable. Our lodging was more than comfortable with the added bonus of a fantastic view that gets even better when the sun sets. Our hosts, Rich and Karen Kraft, are the nicest couple that take the time to get to know you and make sure there isn't more they can do for you. Courtney and Cameron assists you in the day to day things like shuttling you to the boat and the market if needed. Christie is the awesome chef that provides you with delicious breakfasts and gourmet dinners. Her desserts are to die for, the cheesecake with raspberry sauce being my favorite. She even bakes cookies and crumbles for you to eat on the boat. The fishing turned out to be catching on our trip. Captain Tyler, who is the Kraft's son, is second to none in Sitka. I truly believe we boated more fish in the four days of fishing than any other charter. He expertly put us on the fish every day even when the conditions were rough, and the conditions were pretty rough the last two days. We even limited out on silvers (36) and halibut (6) on the second day by 1:00. We all went home with 92 pounds of salmon and halibut filets. Then there is Caleb our deckhand. Caleb does everything from baiting lines to netting fish to cleaning the catch and making awesome sandwiches made to order. We are very grateful to meet such a fine hardworking young man. I highly recommend this family run Inn/charter to everyone. You absolutely cannot go wrong and you will have an enjoyable experience.

It was a life dream to fish out of a great lodge in Alaska, which is now fulfilled. Scott, (part owner), Robbie(captain and chef extraordinaire), and Dayton(my captain) and Giuseppe(my mate) were on site and were completely competent and professional, and enabled me to have a fantastic and memorable experience once again. The lodge is rustic and beautiful, and is situated in a pristine setting on an island just across the bay from Sitka, accessible only by boat. We had great fishing every day, and I returned with a box of delectable fillets of a variety of fish that will last me until next year's trip. The meals were delicious, capped off by our last dinner of panko-crusted halibut tacos that were next-level. I traveled alone, and fished and enjoyed the company of great new friends from Washington and Hawaii. My trip and stay could not have been more enjoyable and satisfying. Great friends and camaraderie, spectacular scenery, wonderfully productive fishing....just a top-of-the-line experience. Just exactly what I was hoping for.

Continental breakfast is advertised and all that was offered is bagels and toast, no protein which was expected with the continental breakfast expected. License not included in package price and limits on fishing not discussed prior to boarding the boat. Also, package states unlimited packaging of fish caught, but we were charged $10 per box of fish. Again, charged without any communication of these fees. Group of 2 treated considerably different than group of 12 on the trip. If you do not go fishing and stay at the lodge you will not be provided with lunch (and have no way to get food otherwise). The large group (a few people that stayed also) was provided lunch after group of 2 was told they would not get lunch because they stayed at the lodge instead of fishing that day. Also told new group was coming in early and we would have to be relocated to a hotel before our trip was over. This was very upsetting. As we paid for the entire stay prior to arrival. Paid over 3k per person, airfare and tip to boat captain, will not support this business again.

What a wonderful time! My husband connected with Mike Boles for a one day private charter…read moreexperience while in Port in Sitka Alaska. He wasn't available so he set us up with Captain Aedon and deckhand brother Zander. Aedon picked us up on time with a smile and wonderful spirit. Aedon put us on the fishing spots to catch four King Salmon, one we were able to keep and ship home, one that was too small to keep, and two that I was unable to land :-(. We also caught a large Lingcod and a couple others smaller ones. Captain Aedon and Zander were both open to share so much information about their fishing techniques and the Sitka culture. Amanda from Sitka Point Lodge was excellent as well. She contacted us the day of the charter to get copies of our fishing licenses so she could print them and give them to Captain Aedon with our delicious Sandwiches. Chips, and cookies. We were also provided sodas and waters. She also asked us if we needed rain gear and deck boots. After our trip, Amanda communicated with me to organize the least expensive way to deliver our catch and a couple extras. She went above and beyond to get our fish to us in one day on Alaskan Air Cargo for a reasonable price. What a wonderful experience! Thanks for all the care from the first call to eating our catch im our home kitchen in Southern California.

It wasn't long after we got to our first fishing spot that the 4 of us realize real quick that the Captain Mike had a very short temper and he was very quick to yell and cuss when something didn't go right. He started on an individual who has never fish the seas before, yes he had trouble working the reel when lowering his line with the down rigger, keep breaking free of the line clip, which was really just an learning experience and no need to be put down in front of others. My turn came when I caught a salmon, which was a Pink and the Capt said that we didn't need to keep them, so I reel it in and he was knocking it of the line and I was standing behind him with my pole to his left side and down from his face (he was extremely worry about getting hook in the face or eye which is a concern as well as breaking his $200.00 pole) well he started yelling at me to get "back ", we were standing in the starboard / stern corner with the motor cover behind me so when he told me to get BACK! I jump over the motor cover to the port/stern corner well, he got to the middle of the deck and started yelling at me what the directions of the boat are, pointing to Port, Starboard , Bow and stern and said to me when "I say get back I want you to go to the Cabin.".I quickly told him to Calm down and quick yelling at me for it was not call for". I was quit upset at this time not just for this but mainly for his piss poor attitude towards everyone.( yes, he did apologize to me for his actions, but he just kept getting mad and them apologize, can't tolerated that conduct for long) Chuck was getting very upset with him and really wanted to just quit. On the third day Chuck caught a salmon , latter we saw a couple of Sea Lions in the distance. Well wouldn't you know one of the sea lions headed right for Chucks salmon he had, well not for long the sea Lion knock the fish in the air and had himself a good meal, mean while Chuck now had a 600 lb sea lion on his line, instead of the Captain simply cutting Chucks line he started yelling at Chuck to hold the reel and snap the line, (Chuck has a disability and he just can not used his hands properly to allow him to stop the reel from turning) and with this, lines got tangle up and well just a real mess, with one very piss of captain, I DO BELIEVE THIS IS PART OF FISHING, if you can't tolerated it then don't do it.!!~!! On the third day I realize that not a single picture has been taken of the fish the 4 of us had caught for the last two days. So I ask Capt Mike if we could get some pictures. We could only take pictures of the salmon , the Halibut was all fillet out. The 3 of us not Chuck ( he was in the cabin very upset and didn't want to fish anymore) I ask Chuck to come out and he wouldn't well at least it look that way to me, I found out latter that Capt Mike refuse him entry on to his deck What the Hell was that for!. This is really a shame to be treated this way after spending thousands for an fishing adventure of our life time. The only thing that made L&M charter worthwhile were the 2 ladies (Peggy and Sandy) that cater to our needs and provided extremely excellent meals, Capt Mike really failed in his customer relations,he should also do a safety briefing before folks board his boat. I won't recommend L&M Charters to any one.
