Messed up our booking to begin with. I booked our trip 8 months in advance to secure our 3 days of fishing for a group of 12 and they called me much later to say they messed up on another booking and had to restructure our group of 12 to (which I learned later) for a group of 3. My group spent the whole 3 days of fishing sitting 6 on port and 6 starboard with our lines twisting in the current while the group of 3 sat off the back of the boat with out current issues. Bottom line apon messing up our reservation they said they'd take care of us and at the end of it all it was is the worst charter I have been on in the 13 years I've gone to seward to fish. Any good reviews are from 1st time go'ers that don't know there are a lot better options. 14 years going to Alaska and its the first time I've ever been to the chicken ranch of alaska (chickens in AK are baby halabut) anyway hope you see my knowledge in charters and move on. I've booked many trips in big groups from overnights to day trips and have had days of catching nothing (thats fishing) and had more fun. Even years of weather shut downs and not going out at all that were better then the disrespect they showed. If you've gone this far, on the dock the day after we were done fishing I did see 2 of the 3 guys from the day before did catch 100+ lbs'ers (barn doors). What I heard from all the other people on the boat though only confirm what I just said. Equally as as bad we had spend an extra hour at the docks the first day because one of the forgot his fishing license as the captain said this happens and will come in later to recuperate, again Didn't happen. Epic failure. Wish i didn't have to give 1 star to right this review actually. Best fishing charter in Seward! The lodge is an added bonus of beautiful rooms to top off the end of a great fishing day. Big East of $$. Booked a room and fishing for 2 at a cost of over 1,000 to be stuffed on a cattle truck with way too many people. And to top it off the also added an employee for extra folks on board and also the captain would be filing at times. They don't have any hotel spots, just a convoy out to a halibut spot with only just barely over and under fish, so you will get just 2 small halibut for your money and hours on the boat. The room had a nice style and view but no fridge or microwave? You have to buy your lunch the night before so you can be ready at 5:30 but no fridge to keep your food in. Will never go again. Need better boats and more fishing spots that produce and most of all way to many people on the boat, you will spend half of your time just getting tangled with all the other people. Oh and they let people smoke on the boat, anywhere they want!!! Booked a halibut only I caught the first fish of 10 people at 9:15 and they said take a break and fish for salmon. At 4:30 they finally let me fish again in a chicken hole. Probably won't use them again. While I didn't end up catching the big trophy fish I was dreaming about I can say that the captain and deckhands were the most professional I have ever seen. I'm from California and the deckhands in California are the worst... these guys are the best. Max and Joe were so professional and accomodating . I was surprised fishermen were this nice. I love fishing but one thing I don't look forward to are ill mannered fishermen. The crew made the entire boat come together and everyone was happy. They tried their best to help everyone on the boat limit out and Max and Joe were especially helpful. I fully recommend this charter service.
