Ok, First time to…read moreAlaska and have been mind blown by scenery. The natural beauty of this state is almost overwhelming in its grandeur. What really made the trip special was getting out on the ocean with a local guide that not only knew the ins and outs of the waterways but was also truly dedicated to his craft as a guide. Captain Dave is passionate about his home town of Sitka and an absolute wealth of information. On the way out of the harbor he fired off a plethora of awesome facts that rivaled anything Wikipedia might have to say about this majestic seaside port. Safety was always on his mind and that played a huge roll in our comfort considering we had a 5 and 7 year-old with us. At all times, including when we disembarked on a remote island for a quick hike, he was sure to let us know he had our back (he had a bear deterrent on the form of a shotgun). Dave also provided us with a killer breakfast and lunch which were both accompanied by spectacular views at unique locations on the water that were second to none. Bottom line, if you want to see AND learn about Sitka and it's wonderful culture/history/ecology then Captain Dave and his vessel the Esther are the premiere choice for anyone who wants to see the real deal Alaska!

We had the most amazing day with Davey! We saw whales, puffin, sea otters, and more! The homemade…read morecookies were the best I had ever eaten and most importantly, Davey made sure that we got to do exactly what we had dreamed of doing. He was a pleasure to deal with and my whole family continued to rave about our day on Esther G Sea taxi.

This was our fifth fishing trip with Captain Mike Reif aboard the Sea Roamer in Sitka, Alaska, and…read moreonce again, Mike delivered an absolutely outstanding experience. At this point, we've fished with enough guides to know the difference between a good charter captain and a truly exceptional one--and Mike is in a class of his own. The fact that we keep coming back year after year says everything. Mike consistently works harder than anyone to put his clients on fish, and he never disappoints. His knowledge of the local waters, tides, weather patterns, and fish behavior is second to none. Every trip feels like fishing with a trusted friend who also happens to be one of the best captains in Alaska. This trip was phenomenal. We caught our limits of King Salmon, Halibut, and Rockfish, making for an unforgettable day on the water. Mike always seems to know exactly where the fish are and what it takes to get them biting. His experience, work ethic, and dedication to his clients are evident from the moment you leave the dock until you're heading home with full coolers and great memories. The Sea Roamer is clean, comfortable, well-maintained, and fully equipped for a first-class fishing experience. Safety, professionalism, and customer service are clearly top priorities. What truly sets Mike apart is that he genuinely cares about the experience his guests have. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, he makes the day enjoyable, educational, and successful. It's rare to find someone who combines exceptional fishing skills with such great hospitality and professionalism. If you're looking for the best charter fishing experience in Sitka, Alaska, look no further than Captain Mike Reif and the Sea Roamer. Five trips later, we can confidently say Mike never disappoints, and we'll absolutely be back again.

Captain Mike and Eric always provide a fun and eventful fishing experience. I have fished with…read morethem 9 or 10 times, and have never been disappointed. This year, the cohos were not in as strong as normal, but we were able to grind it out and catch a slew of salmon (including 10 kings), black cod, and halibut. The Sea Roamer is a very stable boat which helps people like me who take a couple of days to get their sea legs. Fish on!!!

This is the second year fishing with Jeromy. This is one guy that doesn't think losing is an…read moreoption. It was a touch time for fishing ' but we moved over and over again to find salmon. He knows most of the fisherman in the area so he's always asking where the bite is. When the Halibut fishing is slow, he has no problem picking up the anchor and moving muliple times to find fish. I love how he just gives it to straight, NO BULL. If you're looking to find a captain that thinks fishing 24/7, he's your guy. Thanks again Jeromy. I hope to see you in July. alan

Very first fish was a good sized King Salmon which battled deep for a quite a while. I would have…read morebeen happy to leave it at that but our excellent captain, Sarah, kept us hauling in fat, acrobatic Silver Salmon plus large Rockfish and Halibut. Our boat, The Shearwater, surely had karma, which made me feel safe and sound even when the conditions became a little uncomfortable the second day. I went as a fisherman and came home an angler. With 100lbs of perfect Salmon! Thanks guys and gals!

I am very disappointed in their response to why I missed my fishing trip. I was at the airport on…read moremy way to Sitka when I had a medical emergency. I was transported to the hospital emergency room. I passed out at the airport, therefore I did not make the trip. I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation. 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

Tony even kept the boat clean after he cleaned each fish after being brought into tje boat. We were with our dear friends that had been with Tony on several "Catching Trips" before this trip.

Even caught some Rock Fish and a Halibut. (The Cheeks were great!!! Thank you !!)

Very cost effective compared to other charters in town. We did a one day charter. While we didn't limit out, we got a lot of fish. Capt'n Tony also offers pickup from your location to the boat and back. They also offer lodging as well as dockside processing pickup. So if you come to Sitka to fish, Captain Tony can be your one stop shop.

We had the most epic day with Guide Garrett! The weather…read morewas gorgeous and the sites were stunning. Captain Conner kindly shuttled us to the dock location (a very generous exception when I misunderstood the instructions). Guide Garrett, powerful waterman of the Sitka Sound (think a younger more approachable King Triton of The Little Mermaid), created the most wonderful day. He knew pretty much everything about anything oceanic or Alaska history and ALMOST all the bird species (it was a Pigeon Guillemot, Garrett). We will never forget the memorable day (our deltoids are still living it). Thank you Adventure Sitka!

The waters are generally pretty calm on the west side of the island where this tour takes place, so you can get in really close to some amazing rock formations and see all the sea urchins, starfish, eagles, moon jellies, mussels, sea lions, and other wildlife. We did not spot any whales or bears on this trip, but we didn't miss them. It was most enjoyable. You can come as you are, they have all the gear you will need.

I was able to reserve everything via email. Easy enough and the price was great for 4 to golf 9 holes with pick up from port and back. It was $120/person and was a great price compared to other excursions, and who doesn't want to say they went golfing in Alaska! Different from the norm and we loved it! Once we arrived in port, I received a call where to meet our driver. He was super friendly and a quick and easy drive to the course. It was only about 10-15 minutes away. As soon as we got there we walked into the clubhouse to check in and get our gear. The clubs and cart were clean and gently used. We're not pros so it worked for us! We started off with drinks before the range and then to our 9 holes. Range is standard, warmed up and off we went. Greens and Tee boxes are astroturf which I totally get with weather they get. But the views are amazing. Pictures don't do it justice, it's absolutely breathtaking!!! Some steep rides up hill but the golf carts made it! Half way through we were back at the clubhouse for a break and some tasty hot dogs and beer! Bathrooms were clean which is always a plus!! The staff was amazing! Back to the course and forgot which hole, I believe 4 or 5 and you're at the very top of the mountain driving your ball to the hole below. Absolutely amazing!! Definitely a fun experience you have to try to say you did!! The weather was perfect that day for us! Hope to visit again some day!!

I have no clue why this place only gets three stars. The customer service here was off the charts…read more Bianca went out of her way to come and get us at the cruise port (just the two of us). We golfed this nine hole course (extraordinary views) which is extremely tough. If you're afraid of heights, don't come here because it's very steep and a Rugged terrain - this is not Saint Andrews links. You're in Sitka. The golf course is only open for about three or four months a year. It's mostly run by volunteers. But we had such a wonderful trip. Bianca is a one-man show here I do think they need stuff at the pro shop. They need Koozies for beer a price for buckets of beer and some other things however what they do have was really nice range balls we're only six dollars a bucket. We will be back.
