The van picks you up and drops you off at the cruise docks, so no worries about transportation. They were very conscientious about getting us back to the boat on time.

Emily was extremely knowledgeable and personable, which made for a great experience.

Fished with Captian Josh on 6/8/2012 on a 4 hour salmon fishing charter during a shore excursion…read morefrom our HAL cruise. Definitely 4 hours is not long enough but Josh did everything he could to make it productive and comfortable. 4 adults fished and my nephew and neice did a ride along ($50 per ride along). Captain Josh is a born and raised Ketchikan local so he knows the area well and is super accomodating to cruise visitors (like us). He did warn us that fishing has been slow the past few days and he was so worried that we wouldn't catch anything. In the last 45 mins we did catch a 28lb salmon, but we totally did not feel that our day was wasted. The scenery is breath taking, there was bald eagles everywhere and tons of jelly fish in the water so for first timers to Ketchikan, we had a great time. There's a lot of other charters out there and the cruise lines actually offer their own but Salty Sea Charter was a good $60 cheaper and I feel, more personalized as we were dealing with the mass crowd of a cruise line booking. If I ever have the priviledge of visiting Ketchikan again, I'd definitely go fishing with Satly Sea Charters again. Pros: -The boat was really clean and nice. Spacious enough for 7 big bodies person to hang out in -They provided snacks and drinks (chips, some AMAZING smoked salmon made by Josh the day before & cookies.) -Can bring beer on the boat -Can sashimi your catch on the boat too! But we just didn't have time to do it =( -Josh handled all the baiting and rig set up so all you had to do was reel em' in. -captian Josh was friendly, honest and easy to talk to, very important if you're gonna be sitting together on a boat waiting for a while. Cons: -the fish weren't biting that day!

It was incredible!!! Beautiful day, nice boat, awesome captain (Josh) and an absolutely, fantastic time fishing. Don't let me forget Ivy, who took care of all the back office work. Thanks Ivy!! Once we caught our salmon limit, Josh kept us out for our full time on board and tried for King Salmon. Caught a few Rock Fish and a few King Salmon, but too small, one being only 1/8" too short of the 28" min! We completely respected Josh's honesty by releasing the "not legal" salmon back to the water. We have so many memories & pictures of a wonderful time with Salty Sea Charters. Super fun people and would go back and fish with them any chance we get!!!! Josh & Ivy.... YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!! Thank you for an incredible experience. Steve & Stacy Craig of Auburn, California

The entire trip was three hours. It was educational, funny, enjoyable with lots of interesting information: the history of the boat, the area; the ability to hold different types of crabs and other sea life, eat some fresh crab, all provided by the exceptional crew of the.Alutian Ballad. We saw a ton of eagles by Annette Island, and were given plenty of photo opportunities throughout the trip. Really cannot say enough positive things about the trip, and the entire crew, specifically, David, the big D, and Captain Ron. Also, the nicest restrooms I have ever been in on a boat, other than a cruise ship lol I would definitely go back on this trip again in a heartbeat. Thank you to the entire crew.

They each had a lifetime of experience fishing for crab in Alaskan and had a tremendous amount of knowledge to pass on to us. They were both extremely kind and made the experience truly one to remember. We traveled to Ketchikan on the Disney Wonder. This tour is perfect for adults and families alike. Although we chose this tour because of the connection to the TV show "The Deadliest Catch", I do not think knowledge of that show is necessary at all to enjoy the experience. We were able to hold many species of crab and other wildlife as well as have breathtaking views of Bald Eagles. Please go on this tour, you will NOT be disappointed!

Colby has the fastest boat (2 X 225 hp) and he is very knowledgeable and very proactively help us. We wanted to experience the Ketchikan two-day fishing for crabs, rock cods, halibuts, and salmons of course. Colby planed out our fishing based on the weather report (raining the first day), and the wind direction. The first day we started setting crab traps, then rock cod fishing fellowed by salmon fishing. We got 7 rock cods, 8 crabs, and 9 salmons (8 pinks, 1 silver). The second day, we reached our salmon limit (18 pinks, 1 chum) before 10:30. Then Colby took us to his favorite spot, in less than an hour, we all got a halibut each. Then took us for some more rock cod fishing. Colby started helping his dad fishing since age 9. He started his commercial fishing at age 15. Since he is only 27 yr old, he is very proactive, hard working, very courteous, yet has tons of fishing knowledge. Excellent combination, highly recommend !!!
