Fishing Charters

Valdez is a premier fishing destination. Our charter captains will take you to the fish of your dreams. Many of the biggest fish caught in Alaska are reeled in from Prince William Sound. Halibut weigh as much as 300 pounds. All types of salmon are prolific. The Valdez Fish Derbies are the oldest in Alaska and award tens of thousands of dollars of prize money each year. Fresh water angling for trout and Dolly Varden is done in the area's lakes, streams, and rivers. Reserve your space on one of the boats listed below.
