Absolutely Incredible!! What an incredible trip for us this year, Oasis and Captain Murray blew our expectations out of the water. We have used Oasis each year and somehow they keep raising the bar and exceeding the previous year. Captain Murray is an absolute savant in putting us on the fish, and coaching us to land every bite possible. To us there is no other choice but Oasis and Captain Murray. 5 star recommendations from us, we booked next year before we left Alaska. See you next year and thank you again for everything, amazing as usual.

Everything we could have expected! Oasis Alaska Charters did a FANTASTIC job for our fishing charter in July 2016! They were very friendly and helpful, explaining everything they were doing and everything we needed to know. We seemed to be catching many more fish than any of the other boats around us and with our guides being "local boys" that knowledge seemed to really pay off for us. We all had a blast with all 6 of us catching fish that morning. I highly recommend Oasis Alaska Charters!!!

Amazing company I'm the President of Purple Heart Anglers, a 501 c 3 non profit organization. We take disabled veterans on hunting and fishing trips and we just took a group on a "Trip of a Lifetime" to fish for Salmon in Ketchikan Alaska. Mark, the owner, and boat Captains, Logan and Murray are outstanding. The Captains are knowledgeable and fun and a real pleasure to be on a boat with. We laughed and caught Salmon for three days. Each of our participants brought back 70 lb.'s of Salmon fillet. The respect and honor they show to our disabled veterans is wonderful.We are grateful to them all for their care and support.I can't say enough about this company.When you want to take a guided trip up in Ketchikan Alaska, there is none better than Oasis Alaska.

Salmon fishing Our guide, Des was excellent. Very knowledgeable and made our experience very memorable. We caught 12 salmon while out with him.

Excellent Fabulous experience!! Hunter was our guide and we have fished many places, but he was the BEST!! Such a great efficient company!

Excellent private excursion during port of call Booked a halibut fishing charter for a port of call during a cruise trip. The shuttle was prompt, clean, and fast and we were on the boat minutes after our arrival. Captain was friendly and knowledgeable and had us on the fish we were looking for. As an added bonus he helped us spot the whales and eagles in the area. Great trip with Oasis!

Amazing Experience and LOTS of fish! Highly recommend this charter. Everything was taken care of and we had a wonderful time fishing. Our guide Drew was top notch and took us to all the good spots! We all loved Drew. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. Our two teen boys that love fishing (13 and 14) caught over 100 fish in 3 half days including King, pink, coho, chum and halibut. We even saw humpback whales! Their Grandfather came along for the ride and had a wonderful time on the boat. Amazing experience.

Oasis Alaska My son and I enjoyed a great morning of fishing with Captain Murray on Oasis. Lots of fish. Wonderful time.

Salmon Fishing Great day of Salmon fishing!!! It was a beuatiful day on the water and the captain was knowledgeable and friendly.

You will enjoy your tour with Oasis! Joanne picked us up right on time and she was so nice and told us a lot about Ketchikan. Schuyler was our fishing guide and he taught us a lot about fishing g for salmon. He was great! Caught a couple of king salmon and saw whales, seals, and bald eagles!

Great Charter For The Family Went out for a 4 hour trip one day and a full day a couple days later on a recent trip to Ketchikan. Captain Murray was great. Fishing was slow, but he still managed to get us into fish both trips. He even gave us a little whale watching tour when he spotted some as we were just starting out. Would highly recommend booking a trip with Oasis. The whole family will enjoy a day out with Captain Murray

great guides. the guides form this charter are some of the best. They work very hard to get you on the fish no matter what.

Roger Gentry Good fishing trip. Guides were good and friendly. Caught some pink and some king salmon. Would recommend to anyone Oasis Alaska Charters for a good fishing trip.

Great time Capt. Murray was great. Worked very hard to get us some fish. We had a terrific time on the boat. It was the first of the season but we were still able to come home with a catch.

2nd trip with Oasis and it's still amazing! This was my second fishing trip in a year with Oasis Alaska Charters and I couldn't be happier. Last year I brought family and this year a bunch of friends. We booked out 2 boats for 2 full days of fishing and had a great time. We left with a ton of fish and everybody was already trying to plan the trip for the following year. Thanks Capt Murray, Capt Logan and Mark, you guys made the trip perfect!

Awesome time, great fishing, and excelent captian! 6hr fishing trip was non stop excitement. Captian Thomas knew where to go and was very helpfull. We all cought our limit and then some! If I ever make it back to Alaska will be looking up Oasis Alaska Charters for sure. Staff on point, no delays. Fishing tackel and boat in excelent condition. Hope to be back oneday!

Great fishing and boat captain My father-in-law and I chartered with Oasis for a 4 hour salmon trip. Overall the experience was good and the captain, Hunter, was excellent and we enjoyed our afternoon. The one disappointing part was the transportation. We were on a cruise that docked in a new area west of town. Taxis could not enter the area, so Oasis picked us up and brought us back in their van. A 10 minute trip each way. After spending $640 for a private charter for 2, Oasis charged me an additional $80 for the 20 minutes in their van!!!! Got to be honest, I thought that was a little greedy. …

Ketchikan 2024 My nephews and I had two wonderful days fishing with Captain Hunter. He is friendly, fast, and knowledgeable. Day 1 we caught our limits of everything. Day 2 caught limits of halibut and rockfish. Kings were a little harder to find, but Hunter worked hard and we caught 2 and lost more. I'm looking forward to next year.

Oasis Alaska Charters This was by far the best fishing charter I have ever been on and by far the best Captain to guide a charter. From the minute we stepped foot on the grounds at the Marina we were greeted with kind folks who provided us information on the area, talked with us about our charter, introduced us to the Captain, and ensured we were all ready to go. The folks at the Marina were superb, even offering sunscreen and refreshments. While on board the captain was outstanding, put on on fish within 10 minutes of leaving port. Handled difficult seas with patience and ease, and provided us with an amazing fishing trip that will be remembered for a very long time as the best ever. The captain was courteous, helpful, and truly happy for us when we each caught a fish. These folks will take care of your very need, and I would recommend the Oasis Alaska Charters group to anyone adventuring to Alaska. GREAT JOB AND THANK YOU!!!

Amazing and incredible fishing experience My daughter and I had the pleasure of fishing with Oasis in early August 2022 for Halibut and Salmon. We selected a four-hour tour as we were on an Alaskan cruise. We decided to select them as our tour guide as I believe they were the only charter offering private tours. Most of the companies combine groups and as much as I love meeting new people, the thought of sharing a boat with others didn’t interest me at all. As we were on an Alaskan cruise, we reached out to Mark and JoAnn in early March and booked ahead of time to ensure we had a spot. They were very responsive and answered our questions in a timely manner and the process of making the deposit was easy. On the day of the fishing trip, one of the owners, Mark, picked us up at the cruise port, he was on time and my daughter was excited to be graced with the presence of their dogs for the 25-minute trip to the dock. The cost of the transportation was added to the price of the tour which is standard practice. Upon arrival at the dock, I was introduced to our Captain named Hunter. He advised that I would require a fishing license for the trip so I proceeded to purchase one for $15 dollars in the shop near the dock. While I was heading back to the dock to proceed on our exciting adventure, Hunter and my daughter were fishing off the dock as there was a large school of pink salmon right beside the boat (at this point I got excited as I knew the day would be fruitful). Hunter was a great guide and amazing with my 8-year-old daughter. He was knowledgeable, patient, and overall the best Captain I have ever had the experience of deep sea fishing with. On the boat, he offered us some snacks and drinks. If you are heading out for a tour, I would recommend bringing some food onboard, just in case you do get hungry . Originally, we were brought out to fish solely for Halibut, but after hearing how well the previous group did on their morning tour we opted to fish for both Halibut and Salmon. One should remember that during these tours you’re not guaranteed to catch mass quantities of fish, so manage your expectations accordingly . Luckily, my daughter and I landed 4 Halibut, 22 pink salmon, and a Coho. In addition, I would say that we had over 20 fish that broke off the line. What an incredible experience for myself and my daughter. I was also surprised at how many double headers we had during our trip. I do wish my daughter was a bit stronger as she had a very difficult time reeling in some of the fish. Regardless, Hunter and I tried our best to make it feel like she was doing most of the work. Man, my forearms were sore the next day (a nice problem to have).To be honest, I don’t think I could have had a better day on the water. The fish were biting, the weather was great and our guide Hunter was AMAZING! If you’re looking to book a tour don’t hesitate to book with Oasis (they exceeded my expectations). They’re a well-run family company that cares for their client’s experience. I hope that I have the opportunity to share more memories with Oasis if I ever travel back to Ketchikan.

Great fishing/Great company Our four hour halibut fishing tour could not have been better!!! We got our limit of halibut plus 4 Pacific Cod, 2 sharks and a founder. Chris, our captain, was excellent in every way. Highlight of our trip!!

Good Fishing, but.... Although Thomas eventually was able to put us on the fish, he seemed more interested in catching the fish himself rather then offering suggestions to help us catch our own fish. While the grandsons' seemed okay with reeling in fish Thomas caught, my son and I would much rather bait the hook, cast the line, hook the fish and reel it in. It would also have been nice to have a cooler full of ice and a fresh hold to keep the fish in. Had we known the ice maker on the dock was not operating as it should, we would have purchased ice and brought it to the boat. The hold the fish were thrown into after sitting in the iceless cooler for a few hours smelled horrendous. This could have been left for Thomas from the day before, but the second day we fished was just the same-no excuses!!

Fantastic Fishing Experience - Book it! My husband and I booked a private charter for Halibut fishing but we actually did both Halibut and Salmon. We had such a great time, our Captain was experienced and did all the hard work while we just brought the fish in abundance. We were able to ship our fish home, which we will enjoy with family.

Highly recommend this experience, you will be happy with your catch!

Great fishing trip! Loved our charter, had a great time and was so nice to have the boat just for our family. Our guide was great and made sure everyone had a good time and caught plenty of fish (especially the kids). Would recommend them to anyone for a great day of fishing!

A wonderful family day Wonderful adventure for the entire family!Tom did a great job of making the trip successful. He made everything easy to understand and safe. He was disappointed early by lack of success, but he never gave up. His efforts were supported by a great finish.Good facilities and friendly, helpful people.

What the Halibut?? We booked Oasis independently of our cruise ship while we were in port. Our son made all the arrangements for our family of five, grown sons and daughter in law, and everything went very smoothly. We went out with Captain Hunter and while he was still setting up the the second fishing pole, boom! Caught the first halibut! The hits just kept coming after that!! We had a great fishing experience with Captain Hunter, he was very knowledgeable! All in all we caught our limit in halibut, threw some back to finish growing and we also caught a few Pacific Cod. It was still early in the season, a rainy, cloudy cold day but we had a blast! Definitely book your fishing trip with Oasis when in Ketchikan!!

Great Captian and first mate awsome trip there was 3 of us on this trip and we fish a lot on the east coast for tuna, shark, cod, fluke and bass. we had a great time the captain was accommodating and knowledgeable. we caught Halibut, pacific cod and rock fish. the trip was only a 4 hr trip next time we will take a 8hr if the cruse line stayed longer we would have done it. was a little rushed but everyone made sure we made the boat.

Great owners and captain Went on a full day halibut and salmon trip on the Reel Therapy and had a great time and caught a lot of fish

Great Experience Went on a 4 hour salmon charter with Captain Chris, and have no complaints. Chris kept us busy bringing in Salmon, and was very good with our 10 and 13 year old. He showed them how to set the lines so they could do it and we were off and reeling in the salmon.

Fabulous 4th of July! Couldn't have asked for a better day! Was thrilled to be able to book a private charter for just the 2 of us at an affordable price. Professionally done, with great customer service. We showed up early and they were ready to go. We more than got our money's worth. Thanks for a fantastic day!Ken & Ginger

Halibut Galore We had an awesome fishing trip, catching our maximum number of Halibut allowed. Our captain, Murray was excellent and definitely made our excursion fun. I would highly recommend this fishing trip to you.

Outstanding Fishing Guide Service! We bottom fished with Murray on July 4th and caught our limit of Halibut and Yelloweye! The boat was nice and well equipped and the guide was knowledgeable and eager to help us catch fish!

FISH ON! Captain Murry put us on fish. We were very satisfied. Would like to do it again someday. And, we had beautiful weather and saw a couple of whales on our way back to the dock.

Great experience! Every aspect of the trip was top notch. We showed up early and so did the captain and we got a 30 minute early start! Caught 7 quick pink salmon for fresh bait and the cooler box and we were off for halibut fishing. We caught so many variety of fish it was hard to keep track. We finished the 4 hour trip with a great mixed bag of fish. The captain was great, the boat was well equipped and clean. I'd recommend to anyone.

Wonderful time! My husband and I went out with Captain Murray. We had a wonderful time! This was our first time chartering a boat and we were not let down. We will be booking again on our next trip to Alaska!

Hard working Captain couldn't find any fish. We spent all day trying time after time to find some salmon but in spite of the best efforts of our Captain, Thomas, we could not find any fish. We saw lots of boxes of frozen fish at the Anchorage airport as were flying home but they apparently weren't caught around Ketchican. Hoping for better luck next time.

Fun catching Salmon My two sons and I had a great time bobbing on the boat and catching salmon! We only fished 3 hours but had 8 hits and reeled in two! They are now in my freezer ready to eat!

Fishing experience We went fishing with Oasis Charters on our day in Ketchikan during a cruise. I would highly recommend them! We caught lots of fish and the captain was great to fish with. 5 stars!

Halibut and Salmon half day trip. our trip was fantastic. From pick up off ship our driver told us all about the town. we saw a bunch of bald eagles along the way. Our captain Hunter put us right on the fish. My wife and I had 6 halibut in less than an hour but since we could only keep one each he took us to another spot. There we jigged and caught Ling cod.After that we trolled and caught king salmon ang one Cohoes. 4hours of action and had fish shipped to arrive home when we get there. Highly recommend oasis charters!

Halibut Fishing trip Fishing was a little slow but the entire trip was excellent. Fishing guide Chris D'Amico was GREAT. The scenery was breathtaking. Transportation from ship to boat and back to ship was great as well. We are still enjoying the fish we did send back to Colorado from Alaska. I will try and go back again someday.

Awesome experience with a great captain. We had an amazing fishing excursion with Captain Murray. He did a great job with putting us on the fish!

Amazing My husband and sons had the time of their life , Captain Murray was awesome & they all went home with incredible FISH STORIES that they didn’t have to make up . The laughs & memories will last a lifetime and more . Their plane wasn’t even in the air and they were planning nexts years trip ! Many thanks to Oasis Alaska Charters ,you guys rock .

Great team, good fishing and would book again. We had a great time! The team was great at communicating with about shuttle transportation. The captain was easy to talk to and found fish quickly and consistently. Was very happy with the charter and would book again.

Last Minute Charter- June 12 Excellent trip with Captain Murray. Caught our limit of halibut, rockfish, and lingcod.

Called when we got to Ketch and they had a 6 hour afternoon spot. It was a perfect time of day for us and it worked out great.

My only word of advice is if YOU'RE NOT staying at the Clover Pass Resort and YOU'RE NOT already booked through a cruise ship make arrangements to hire a taxi, or ride the bus when it's running with enough time to make your trip. We were NOT On a cruise ship so it took a little more coordination on our part to get out to Clover Pass resort on our end BUT nothing that would preclude us from booking again or hinder you from getting there.

5 star operation!!!!!

Great charter Our fishing trip was awesome!! It was cold and rainy in the morning but cleared up. We caught Kings, pink, and silver salmon. 2 halibut and 2 spine back rock fish. The rat fish I caught was thrown back but neat to see. Whales and eagles were out that day and our guide spotted a whale spray way out in the water and turned us in that direction. It was really fun. Just the two of us and our captain. Didn't have to fight large crowds!!

Would highly recommend Oasis to anyone. Memories of a lifetime! Captain Murray did an awesome job. Was working hard for us the whole trip. We limited out on Pinks in less then an hour and a hour and a half later got our limit of halibut. Caught a couple sharks and a couple Silvers. Had a great time!

GREAT FISHING !!! top notch guide service with great boats, equipment and captains.Catch lots of fish with these guys Highly recommend. AAA+++

Awesome experience A well run charter experience right from the initial on line query to the actual fishing! Murray is an excellent fishing guide and very willing to share his experiences and wealth of local knowledge with us who were fishing! Thank you for the right information and the great communication and a superb fishing day!

Incredible time on the water 5 out of 5. Six stars if I could. Our guide Hunter was very patient, knowledgeable, kind and told great stories, we also maxed out on our halibut and we were able to get some additional fish even after that! We did have it processed and sent home, it’s so tasty! Highly recommend the company, ask for Hunter.

Amazing three days! What a terrific 3 days with Capt Murray. Everyday was perfect weather and superb fishing. In three days we caught 109 Salmon, 50 Sea Bass, 9 Halibut and 8 Ling Cods....and that's just the stuff we didn't throw back. Murray is like the fish whisperer, unbelievably talented and so laid back, he just lets people enjoy the whole experience. We basically saw all of the wildlife Alaska has to offer from the boat.

Water was calm, processing and packaging was effortless and JoAnn and Mark are great hosts. Next time we come back we are doing nothing else but hanging out with these folks. Best money spent on our whole trip.

Anybody want some salmon?

Fabulous Fishing Adventure!! Oasis Charters treated us like family! They picked us up from our hotel and it only got better! Captain Hunter was the best! We caught a ton of fish in a quick 4 hour outing. We will be back and we plan on taking 3-5 day with lodging next time. You can't go wrong with this team! Book your trip today!

Alaska at it's best The hospitality that was shown to our group the two days we were fishing was amazing. The whole Oasis staff was extremely catering and helpful to our group. From the time we arrived until we had to leave, great lengths were taken to ensure our time was nothing short of the best. Shout out to Capt Chris and Capt Murray. If you're gonna go, request one of those guys!!

Halibut Heaven!!! Fished two half day trips with Josh and caught a limit of halibut both days. What a blast. even did a little salmon trolling. Great guide and a nice person. Don't forget to tip 10-20%. Gas is expensive and the cost of living in AK is high.

Everything was Great! Oasis was so wonderful and easy to work with! We had the best time and our Guide was the best! He worked hard to make sure we caught our salmon.

Absolute Fantastic Fishing! Beware of processor. My husband, daughter and myself went out with Capt. Murray on 8/1/2021 for a 4 hr. charter. Wow, what an amazing trip we had! Very friendly experience and we would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a great experience of fishing and fun.

* The taxi ride from the cruise ship/downtown is $50 each way. I know it says a few different things on the website, but it's just a straight $50.

* Our biggest disappointment came with the Clover Pass Resort fish processing. One of the most unprofessional companies I have ever dealth with. After our fishing trip in which we caught 3 halibut (one 50lbs) and 10 nice salmon, see photo, we arranged to have our fish shipped back home. After giving our name, address, payment info and being assured our fish would be tagged, frozen, processed and shipped overnight: we called Clover Pass to inquire about our shipment and were told that all of our fish that we had caught had been processed and shipped to another client that had fished on a separate boat that day. They called the Capt. of our boat to ask what we had caught and then offered to send us (at full cost) approximately what we had caught that day and would add a few pounds to make up their mistake. We were told that it would be fish caught sometime this year by other persons who had left their fish behind. We declined as if we had wanted fish we didn't know where it came from or when it was caught, we can go to our local grocery store. What a terrible ending to a trip of a lifetime.

Private salmon fishing charter Top notch organization! Mel provided prompt comfortable service from the cruise port to the marina, Hunter took us right to plenty of fish and was helpful personable and knowledgeable! Highly recommended!

Fishing trip. We recently took an Alaskan cruise. On our Ketchikan stop we fished with Oasis. They were booked outside what the cruise offered. Took a short cab ride. They were waiting ready for us. Great trip..nice boat..great captain. It was small (only the 4 of us). The scenery was some of the best of the trip. We caught a lot if fish. When we returned to dock, they arranged processing and shipment home. Taxi waiting, then back to ship. Going back to stay and fish for a week.

Coming back next year A great experience for our entire family! Thank you to Captain Murray for a great couple days and to Mark and JoAnn for sharing their boat with us and being so accommodating!

First Halibut! Went out fishing with Murray-he was fantastic-showed us and told us about fishing there and put us on the fish-there were boats around us but we caught the fish!

Excellent fishing charter Captain Murray was a great guide and provided us with all the gear and advice we needed. Highly recommended.

Let’s go!!!! Amazing experience!!! Communication is A+. Made booking from a cruise ship easy and comfortable. Picked us up on time ( by the owner). Local and family owned. Captain Joshua led us to the Salmon almost right away. Learned a lot and kept two teenagers entertained without a phone. Shipping a lot of salmon back to Arizona. Let’s Go!!!

Halibut fishing charter We were extremely pleased with the whole experience. Captain Logan was very accommodating, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to give the 4 of us a very wonderful trip. We caught 2 Halibuts that were of the keep able size. He took us out to deeper water, where we landed a100lb halibut that we were required to release. It was really a lot of fun brining in a large halibut from a depth of 500ft. I think letting people know in advance of booking a halibut charter, that they will not be able to keep a larger halibut would be a better policy. You did a great job!Thank youBob Dersé

Way more than just a fishing trip! I'll make this short so it's quick and easy to read. Oasis made our trip easy by answering all our questions about directions, fishing license, etc. Our boat captain, Mike, was friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable, safe and most important, (b/c fishing is the point of the trip), he made sure we got to catch fish. They warned us that June was the slower of the summer fishing months, but he genuinely wanted us to catch as much as possible and he changed course, he changed bait, if we were in a slow spot, he'd motor somewhere else. We ended up catching halibut, salmon, cod and a rockfish. We signed up for the halibut and salmon 6 hour trip. We were a group of 4 and only 1 of us had fishing experience. It was perfect and we will definitely go back next year.

Almost I understand Oasis cannot control the weather. They could however warn you ahead of time that conditions are not favorable and give you a chance to cancel or re-book. It was only after we left the dock that I was told the we could not fish for halibut. And that salmon are very tough to catch in the windy rainy weather.So I spent $700 to catch ONE fish.And the snaks were a couple tiny bags of chips.Very disappointing.

Great Salmon Fishing experience! My two sons and I had a great experience with Oasis Alaska Charters and captain Drew. It was a slow day but Drew worked constantly to help us find the fish. This was my boys (15 & 21) favorite excursion of our cruise and they had a blast! I would highly recommend the whole crew at Oasis Alaska Charters!

Halibut & King Salmon Capt. Hunter was awesome, we had so much fun!! My wife does not fish much but he made it very very easy for her to land some nice fish! Hats off to Hunter thank you soo much for a great time!

Such a fun trip! We chartered two boats for 7 of us, and we had a blast. It was chilly and rainy, and it didn't even phase us. Our fishing guys were great, we had all fished before but none of us were experts by any means, and they helped us all to reel in fish and get some pics! The landscape was stunning, and the salmon were flowing :). Would definitely recommend!

Great all around trip My son and I went on a four halibut trip. We were fishing within fifteen minutes of leaving the dock. The boat had everything we needed and the captain and crew were extremely friendly and helpful. It was an awesome experience! The Clover Pass crew made it easy to process our fish and ship them home. I would definitely recommend Oasis Alaska Charters to anyone!

Amazing experience There r no guarantees w fishing but Captain Murray is your best bet to find them. Book the full day because when your time is up you will wish you could keep fishing.

Alaskan Fishing Trip Great trip. They worked hard to ensure we had a great fishing adventure in Alaska. They planned our experience around what type of fish we wanted to catch. Our boat captain was very helpful in showing us the correct fishing methods for each type of fish. They provided all the fishing equipment and bait that was needed.

Great experience. Highlight of our Alaska trip. Incredible experience from start to finish. Joane met us at the port and was so patient when we had to tender from our cruise ship and were delayed. She kept in touch and updated.

Once we arrived at the marina we met Captain Hunter, and we were off. The boat was comfortable and well equipped. Hunter explained what we were going to be doing and took us to our fishing spot.

Al 5 of us had the opportunity to catch fish and we hooked several including 2 large King Salmon. It was a highlight of our Alaska trip and all due to the hospitality and expertise of Hunter and their team.

When we got back we were met at the dock by the processors and look forward to receiving our salmon this week.

Could not recommend more!!!

First King of the season Mark was able to take me out when others turned me down because I was the only one fishing. He as well as the others told me that it was still too early in the season for good king fishing. In fact, the cleaning and shipping facility wasn't even open yet. So I either had to go out with the cruise ship charter with a party of 6 and really limit my chances or go out with Mark. It was an easy choice to make. His boat and gear were top quality and his home made smoked salmon, that he brought along for snacks, was the best I ever had. We trolled along with a few other boats that were out there and passed each other several times, but our boat was the only one that was successful, with 2 kings. I attribute this to his knowledge about how deep to fish and how fast to troll. I will definitely book with him again the next time I come up. He is a serious and well-seasoned angler.He and his wife, who joined us, were easy to talk to and we shared fish stories and he told me all about Alaska.Thanks Mark and to your wife, who did a fantastic job filming me on the one hook-up.

First time in Alaska fishing My wife and I wanted to catch our limit of fish while we were in port. Getting off and on a cruise ship with a limited amount of time, so we booked a private boat for the two of us. Captain Bill called us before we docked and offered to pick us up right of the dock and back to our ship after a GREAT DAY of fishing and scenery. He let us fish right up to the minute to when we had to return. Will Be Back Thanks Captain Bill and Oasis Charters

Awesome guide and salmon fishing experience Chris, our guide, was awesome. Fun to be around and helped us catch a ton of salmon on our trip in late July. While we didn't snag the elusive king, we did manage to have a blast fishing and enjoying the incredible Alaska scenery. Logistics were very smooth getting in and off the boat. Shipped fish arrived at our East Coast house about a week after the trip.

Amazing It was so awesome, even though we were early in the season. We caught plenty of other fish. The owners ( Mark and Joann ) were wonderful. Our captain, Hunter was the best. Relaxed, helpful and personable. I highly recommend this group of people.

Awesome!!! Our captain Josh was extremely fun and a great captain. Would definitely ask for him if I book a charter again! We had a giant fish not even sure what it was to really bring down the pole and and snapped off the hook...we would have loved to got to see the fish but it was so exciting just to see. I so enjoyed my time on the water I would love to do it again!

Perfect family adventure Our family had a wonderful day in Ketchikan with Captain Murray! We have little fishing experience and just wanted a fun adventure. Captain Murray was so patient, helpful and excited for us, especially our 3 children, when we caught fish. Highly recommend! Thankful for these amazing memories!

Capt Murry Had two full days of fishing and it was everything we could hope for! Caught alot of fish and captain Murray was down to earth normal guy that really knows his stuff! Seen alot of beautiful country! Definately will go back again. Left our place in Iowa at 95 degrees and was in heaven when we got off the plane in that cool 60 degree Alaska weather!!

Great fishing trip Matt our caption was fun and did a great job I would have him as a caption again We were on 2 day 8hr trip Came home with 93lbs of filled fish

An Awesome Trip with a Great Company If you're considering a salmon/halibut/bottom fish trip look at Oasis.

JoAnn and Mark run a great operation and the price was reasonable for me and my two brothers. JoAnn responds to emails quickly.

Three days of fishing got us three hundred pounds of processed fish. You have to pay for the processing at something like $2.50 a pound.

Captain Maury was our guide on a 30+ foot boat. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. He does smoke, which didn't bother me since I brought cigars. He was patient and allowed us to do as much as we wanted. I have similar downriggers to those on the boat so he had no problem with us rigging our own lines. It saved time when the fishing was hot - which was often.

The boat was clean and the gear worked fine. Having a head (bathroom) was nice since you're out all day. The first day was a little choppy but the boat was pretty stable and balance wasn't a problem. There is a large cabin if the weather turns bad or while you're under way.

The dock crew that unloads the fish and processes it were a group of young people that were uniformly friendly and helpful. I asked them to process one fish while we were unloading to give to the taxi driver and they had it done in 10 minutes at no additional charge. they'll also take all the photos you want of your trophy fish.

The taxi from the Landing hotel was a flat $50. If you use Sourdough Taxi ask for Carl. He took us to and from the dock every day. He was friendly and On Time - even for our 5:30 am pick ups.

I left a separate review for the Landing Hotel on this site if you're interested.

What the Halibut?? We booked Oasis independently of our cruise ship while we were in port. Our son made all the arrangements for our family of five, grown sons and daughter in law, and everything went very smoothly. We went out with Captain Hunter and while he was still setting up the the second fishing pole, boom! Caught the first halibut! The hits just kept coming after that!! We had a great fishing experience with Captain Hunter, he was very knowledgeable! All in all we caught our limit in halibut, threw some back to finish growing and we also caught a few Pacific Cod. It was still early in the season, a rainy, cloudy cold day but we had a blast! Definitely book your fishing trip with Oasis when in Ketchikan!!

Excellent Charter and Great Service Our half-day charter was excellent. Oasis Alaska Charters was on time to pick us up, very communicative, friendly and our captain did all he could to put us on halibut. And that he did! We caught three nice size halibut and a pink salmon. We had a great time and appreciate the service. We definitely recommend them. A bonus is they can filet and ship your catch at the marina. Overall, we had a great time.

If you are going fishing, choose no other outfitter! I can't say enough about our experience. From the time we booked the reservation, to giving high fives on the boat, it was perfect. The communication was great from the start and if you follow the directions, it is such a smooth process. The ride up to the harbor was beautiful and worth the taxi fare to get away from the ships. Our captain was awesome and put us on fish in the first 30 minutes. I can't promise you will have the same luck, but I assure you will work their butts off for you. Book this charter, you will not be disappointed.

Catching My boyfriend and I had a great experience with Oasis. Chris our guide was great. We felt appreciated and very secure during our fishing expedition. We caught fish and it was all boxed and ready for the plane ride home. He provided us with more then just fish. We saw eagles and he took us by an island filled with walruses. Something you do not see every day. Where my boyfriend is a good swimmer I am not. Chris made me feel very comfortable out at see. We will be back next summer. A big thank you to Chris and Oasis charters for memories and a lot of fish dinners.

Excellent Halibut and Sea Bass Fishing in Ketchikan My husband, father in law, and I booked a 4 hour Halibut tour outside of our cruise ship- We were in port from 1230p-730p and wanted a more personalized experience rather then going through the cruise line. I am SO GLAD THAT WE DID because we had a great day and ended up with a nice catch of fish! This operation offered transportation from the cruise ship to the marina. As we were getting off the ship, Mark, called us and said he was in the parking lot waiting for us. It was about a 20 minute drive to the marina where we met our captain Hunter. The boat was in excellent condition and managed the sea’s well. It was overcast/rainy (typical for Ketchikan) but also a little breezy. Hunter and Mark had told us that they were concerned with the weather report and we would have to “play it by ear” if it got to rough. Thankfully, it did not get to rough and we were able to spend a lot of time out on the water. It took a little while for the Halibut to turn on as the tide was not moving in the right direction, but when it did, we quickly caught our limit! One Halibut was 35 inches, which is big considering we couldn’t keep it if it was over 40 inches, so we were thrilled!After we caught our limit, Hunter gave us the option to do some Salmon fishing or do some bottom fishing for cod/sea bass. Since we wanted table fare, we opted for the bottom fishing- it was not Salmon season yet. Hunter ran for about 20 minutes to get us to a more protected area (the wind was starting to pick up a bit and we needed calm waters to jig). No sooner then we got to this new area, he saw fish on the meter, told us what to do, and boom we started catching sea bass. Unfortunately we did not catch any cod, but we did limit out on sea bass. During this time there was a bald eagle flying around and doing his own fishing which allowed me to capture some amazing photos. We also saw Orca’s and sea lions. Overall this trip was amazing. We ended up with 3 Halibut, 1 pacific cod, and 15 sea bass. When we got back to the marina, the dock guys met us, took the fish, cleaned them up for pictures, and then filleted and packaged the fish for shipping. Now that we are back home (in Maryland) we should be getting the fish this week. We are so excited!I highly recommend this company and this tour. It was excellent and we had a great time. While we had a great day, remember, its called fishing, not catching…. Although I am confident Hunter will do anything in his power to put you on the fish 🙂

Two Fantastic Days of Fishing It was such a great time to spend with family on the water this past week. Murray was phenomenal in getting us into the middle of the Coho school and we had multiple fish on the line at the same time throughout two days out there. Mark and JoAnn went out of their way to make sure my family had an extraordinary time. We can't wait to come back. …

September Silvers are Fantastic! From my reservation to packing out the fish, Oasis Charters had excellent organisation, responsiveness and efficiency. We chartered two boats for 9 people to go after the September Silvers (Coho Salmon). The fishing was slow for about an hour, but after Capt. Murry found the fish he kept us ON the fish! Before it was all over we had each caught 2 fish in the 10-12 lbs. range. Really gotta hand it to Capt. Murry for finding the fish, helping us wrestle them into the cold box and maximizing our time on the water. Fish ON!

Fun, Fun, Fun Murray, our guide, couldn't have been any better. His knowledge about the area and the fishing was fantastic. He was generally an all around great guy and he helped us when we needed it and let us reel in when we didn't. Wonderfully fun guy and thank you for having him.

Captain Josh rocks Everything was amazing. From Mel picking us up to Josh as our boat captain. Josh worked hard and was amazing to spend time with.

Excellent Charter! We chartered the Oasis for my family to take a short 4 hour fishing trip when we visited Ketchikan Alaska! We could not have been more pleased with our charter! Mike was our Captain - he was awesome! We had an excellent time and would definitely recommend Oasis to anyone visiting the area. We only wished we had more time to fish!

Epiroc business outing Had the chance to go with friends and business associates to Clover Pass Lodge and spend three day's fishing with Oasis Charters. Although warmer and drier weather slowed the salmon, we racked up on halibut, sea bass and a variety of other fish. We had three boats and three great captains/guides who took excellent care of us and made us feel like family. I highly recommend booking a fishing trip with these guy's. Thanks for three day's of pure fun and entertainment

Amazing It was so awesome, even though we were early in the season. We caught plenty of other fish. The owners ( Mark and Joann ) were wonderful. Our captain, Hunter was the best. Relaxed, helpful and personable. I highly recommend this group of people.

Halibut Fishing Our family was visiting Ketchikan on an Alaskan cruise. Prior to arrival the communication with Oasis Alaska Charters was great. They answered all of my questions. The day we arrived in port, we were picked up promptly and transported to the boat. Captain Murray had the boat ready to go once we arrived. We rode out a few miles with breathtaking scenery, dropped our lines in the water and within a few minutes had our first halibut. We saw whales, a hungry eagle and caught our limit on halibut and rockfish. This trip was wonderful and Captain Murray put us on the fish. If you’re not taking your fishing charter with Oasis Alaska Charters and Captain Murray, you’re wrong! More

Excellent private excursion during port of call Booked a halibut fishing charter for a port of call during a cruise trip. The shuttle was prompt, clean, and fast and we were on the boat minutes after our arrival.

Captain was friendly and knowledgeable and had us on the fish we were looking for. As an added bonus he helped us spot the whales and eagles in the area. Great trip with Oasis!

Awesome Alaskan Fishing Experience We were in Ketchikan with the Disney Cruise (had my 7 year old son with us) and instead of booking with them and getting random people on our boat I booked through Oasis and it was a great decision! We had the boat to ourselves and Capt. Tom was a great guide, we had salmon on the lines within the 1st ten minutes of our trip! Tom was very attentive and knowledgeable about the waters and local information! If you're in Ketchikan and want to get in some good fishing in with the family or friends I highly recommend Oasis Alaska Charters just take a look at the pics!!

Amazing day on the water! I cant say enough good things about this trip! The 4 of us had a boat to ourselves and Captain hunter was Amazing. We booked a 4 hour charter and were actually given a 5th hour for free so that they could coordinate our return to the port with another party,
Mark, the owner, picked us up at our ship and we chatted pleasantly on the way to the boat. From there Captain Hunter took over. To say he knows his stuff is an understatement! We put our lines in and had a fish on with 5 minutes. We caught silvers, pinks and Kings (but had to throw the kings back since they were out of season and were tiny). We ended our 5 hours with 3 silvers and 14 pinks in the cooler! We had so many more that we got to reel in, but they broke off the lines just before we could scoop them up. This trip was awesome and time flew by way too fast.
I would highly recommend Oasis Alaska to anyone wanting to take home some Wild Alaska Salmon!

Great Experience Went on a 4 hour salmon charter with Captain Chris, and have no complaints. Chris kept us busy bringing in Salmon, and was very good with our 10 and 13 year old. He showed them how to set the lines so they could do it and we were off and reeling in the salmon.

No real effort Captain and van driver were very nice. But we paid for a 4 hrs fishing and only got 2.5 hrs. The van driver picked us up at 1123 knowing our ship leaves at 430. It’s a 30-35 min drive to fishing boats from cruise port. Once we got to our boat we waited another 10 mi. For our captain, the other charter packed and left and apparently took the better fishing spot. After 1.5 hrs had to request the captain move to another spot. I’m a seasoned fisherman not a novice who was looking to catch my first any kind fish! I was expecting a better effort from captain and van driver. Problem with tourist charters they know you are leaving on a cruise never to return. Typical tourist trap, not worth $1,600

Fishing Charter We had a great time. Our captain was very good at getting us on fish. He was also a good guy, lots of fun to be around.

Hunter Is a Fishing Fool! Booked a 6 hour charter with Hunter. Super cool guy that lives to fish! We didn't have our lines out 3 minutes and we had a triple of salmon on. Trolled until the tide was right then anchored for the halibut bite. Ended up with 19 keepers and threw back at least that many sub legal fish. I've fished all over the world and this young man will get you on the fish. You will not be disappointed with this outfit! …
