Board a luxury yacht for 4 nights and fish the waters of southeastern Alaska for salmon, halibut, and rockfish; airfare not included

Fish for Salmon, Halibut, and Rock Crabs Onboard a Luxury Yacht

Enormous halibut, rockfish, and five species of salmon make their home in the waters off the coast of Ketchikan, Alaska. You can cast out for a trophy catch on this 4-night fishing cruise for one aboard The Modoc, a 146-foot yacht. It has an open-air deck with an outdoor fireplace and a hot tub, as well as a large dining room serving hearty family-style meals that feature each day’s catch. The fishing cruise includes:

  • Ground transportation to and from Ketchikan International Airport (KTN)
  • 4 nights in a double bunk room
  • Daily fishing excursions
  • Hearty family-style meals prepared by an executive cook
  • All of the fish you catch will be filleted by the staff, vacuum sealed, and flash-frozen in airline-approved boxes for you to take home.
  • Airfare not included

We’ve listed some trip highlights below. Click here for more information, including a packing list.

Historic yacht

Before it was remodeled into a luxury fishing yacht, The Modoc was a WWII rescue tugboat in the South Pacific, a spy ship, and then a US Coast Guard vessel for more than 20 years.

Guided fishing excursions

You’ll spend 8–10 hours fishing each day with the guidance of experienced anglers. On a typical day, you’ll cast out for salmon, halibut, lingcod, and rockfish. You can then choose to bring your catch home in airline-approved boxes or dress it up in a suit and strap it into the seat next to you.

Hearty Family-Style Meals

The ship’s executive cook prepares three family-style meals each day, including local favorites like ribeye steaks, chicken, pork, and ending the trip with fish and chips on the back porch.

Activities

When you’re not fishing, there’s still plenty else to do. Borrow a kayak to explore the chilly waters or head to the shore to walk through the area’s picturesque hiking trails. You might even spot orcas, humpback whales, harbor seals, or sea lions.

Ketchikan, Alaska: Salmon Capital of the World

It’s worth it to extend your trip and spend a few days in Ketchikan. In addition to its status as the “Salmon Capital of the World” for its abundant schools of the pink, green, and silvery fish, the woodsy town harbors a diverse group of other wildlife. Black and brown bears are common sightings in nearby parks and recreation areas as well as mountain goats, moose, and wolves. Mink and river otter can sometimes be spotted along Ketchikan’s beaches, and orca and humpback whales inhabit the coastal waters during the summer months. The town is also a gateway to the Misty Fjords National Monument, where you can see saltwater fjords and cliffs that soar 3,000 feet into the air.

Stop by the visitors bureau for more information on guided tours and excursions or to pick up a copy of the official Ketchikan Walking Tour map to take a self-guided adventure.

Great concept but poor execution is the reason for this mixed review.

The discription of the fishing type and availability was not accurate . The transportation logistics from the airport was subpar. Bunk beds are to small for a grown man.

No where close to gourmet food. Guides were horrible. People went home with no fish. Seafood served was bay shrimp and the fish we caught. No crab at all. They crashed the boat on rocks. Only go if you have never caught fish and don't know any better

This was a complete rip off. The boats broke. The guides got lost. They did not know what you could even catch. They had 4 halibut licenses & 11 clients. The food was just awful...you should tell people to bring food. Out of room to complain.
