EXPLORE KENAI FISHING Charters

All charters can be combined into an fishing & lodging package. Additionally, we offer salmon and rainbow trout combo trips. On the rivers, we offer two types of trips for you to choose from; private or shared.

Our most popular trip - sockeye salmon charters on the Kenai River in Alaska in August and Sept.

Sockeye Salmon

$250pp

We target sockeye, July through August with 6-hour trips on the Kenai and Kasilof Rivers. The first trip of the day meets at 5:30 a.m., with the second meeting at noon. Each boat can transport up to 5 anglers.
BOOK SOCKEYE CHARTER

Silver salmon charters and king salmon charters are both $300 per person on the Kenai River.

Silver Salmon

$300pp

We start targeting silver salmon in mid-August on the Kenai River and fish them through mid-September. All fishing is done from the boat with trips typically starting around 6 a.m., ending at 2 p.m. or limits. We can fish 4 anglers comfortably, or 5 if needed.
BOOK SILVERS CHARTER

Our rainbow trout charters are a must on the Kenai River in the Alaskan fall time.

Rainbow Trout

$300pp

Our resident rainbow trout can be targeted on the Kenai River all season long, with the bulk of the fishing done from mid-August to the end of September. Trips are 7-8 hours long and start at 7 a.m. Boats can hold 3-4 anglers, depending on skill level.

BOOK TROUT CHARTER

Catching once-in-a-life-time King salmon on the Kasilof River is a thrill no one should miss.

King Salmon
