    With a stellar reputation built on consistently putting guests on fish, this Homer charter operation runs a professional outfit with multiple captains and boats. Captain Brian, Captain Ally, Jay (the "Bearded Pirate"), and Captain Finn all get specific shout-outs for their expertise and friendly approach. The crew really shines here—deckhands like Anna, Neveah, and Michael earn repeated praise for keeping lines untangled, helping with catches, and making everyone feel welcome. Guests regularly report limiting out on halibut even late in the season when expectations are lower, plus bonus catches of rockfish, cod, and various salmon species. The fleet includes both larger vessels like the Irish (which can handle 16+ passengers) and smaller boats for more intimate trips. Most reviewers highlight the professionalism from check-in through the safety talk to the actual fishing, with captains willing to share knowledge and answer questions. One negative review mentioned a trip being outsourced to a different provider with timing issues and overcrowding, though they still praised the captain and crew. First-timers and experienced anglers alike seem to have excellent days on the water, making this a solid choice for Homer fishing charters.

    We did a 4th of July charter and it was absolutely incredible - gorgeous sun all day, clear panoramic views of the mountains and volcanoes all around, everyone on the boat hit their Halibut limit so quickly... plus we got a few cod! The captain and crew were super helpful when they needed to be but let us do our own thing for the most part, they were a blast to be around and they made the experience. Could not have planned a better trip if we tried, can't wait to come back!
