They were very detailed in explaining how to operate the equipment, helped us land some delicious halibut, and demonstrated how to fillet a halibut like a professional! The boat ride was very smooth and they drove us down to the beach in a passenger van so it is very convenient for those who can't walk long distances Thank you Brian and Katie for taking such great care of us! You made our family fishing trip one we will never forget!

We recently went out with Homer Ocean Charters on the Bay Explorer (Captain Max), and the…read moreexperience was far below what we expected, especially compared to their older reviews. The boat felt oversold -- about 20 guests with only two deckhands to assist. That made the trip feel crowded and chaotic, with lines constantly crossing and several people losing fish. Between the long ride out (roughly two hours each way) and the large group size, we ended up with very little actual fishing time, maybe half an hour in total. Nobody in our group was able to hit their limit. Afterward, we tried to share our concerns directly with management, but instead of listening, they argued with us and came across as pretty rude. Overall, the trip felt impersonal and poorly run. For the price and the reputation, we expected much more

Each of these guys were professional, courteous, and friendly--they went above and beyond to ensure we had the "opportunity and position" to catch some giant halibuts. While the waters were choppy and the big ones weren't biting--Cooper repositioned us and boom! We were landing some 30 to 45 lbs fish. Totally worth the trip. Additionally, as a dad, I loved watching my son (Chase) work as a deckhand. At 23, he's spent 6-years in Alaska fishing--his hustle, fishing skills, and interactions with the other four guest provided once in a lifetime "proud dad" moments I'll always remember. Thanks Jimmy Jack for the superb fishing trip and for growing my son into a phenomenal man. And Capt Cooper thank you for being a great example of professionalism to Chase. Huge and Happy Heart from this old man!! Much love-- Chip Chadick

It's been long enough to update my review. Covid 19 didn't stop me from fishing here again. The…read morelax airport had to be the safest place in LA . Salmon fishing was significantly less than normal . Halibut fishing was the same . Came back home with about 70 lbs of filets . Halibut sells for about $30.00 a lb so $2100. 00 worth of fish . Filled our freezer . Easy fishing , getting to the point I don't want 3 hr boat rides so it's great to be fishing here in 20 minutes . Cant beat the scenery. Mostly calm water since we're fishing in a inlet . Fishing shallow water. So no 15 min reeling in a small fish to release it afterwards. Great food , great service , you won't leave here weighing less than when you came .

Oh except for Capt Dave stepping into one of those hidden holes I guess :). He walked us around and showed us some bear far away and then took us to the most excellent area where the bears literally came within less than 50 yards away. The trip was totally worth it . I highly recommend Ninilchik Charters, we have booked several outings with them and they are very professional and an outstanding group of people. From the time you set up your reservation to when you go they send you reminders of what to bring to have a wonderful and memorable trip.

This beach is one of my favorite places to escape to in the summer with my husband. The Campground is HUGE, with over a hundred sites that are nicely spaced. There's potable water and pit toilets as well. The wall to the beach is BRUTAL- 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS HIGHLY RECOMMEND and you cannot make it in a RV.
