What a blast! Me and some buddies had the opportunity recently to take a day trip out with Oasis. Desmond and First Mate (and daughter Alexa) met us at the dock and in a short few minutes we had the paper work done and were off. Of course it was raining as it is SE Alaska in September but that did not deter from the fun of fishing that day. After only traveling out about 30 minutes Desmond sets up our poles and we're fishing. Doesn't take long at all and WHAM we are getting hits. First we pull in a nice Pink. A few minutes later after Desmond resets that bait and downriggers, two hits just seconds apart. Brought them both in! Nice Coho's. Although we did loose a few, the highlight of salmon fishing this day was having four poles in the water and having action on all four. We did manage to bring three on board! Salmon fishing was a blast but by late morning Desmond knew the salmon would stop biting and we headed a short distance and anchored 350 feet deep for halibut. WOW, never knew the action on bottom fishing! We only had a short amount of time to continue fishing but brought some cod on board as well as a 15 pound halibut. In total we hauled in 15 fish in a very short time. Dock crew were great also. Met us at the dock, hauled our fish to processing, filet them and shipped to my door when I returned. Very easy for vacationers.Hats off again to Skipper Desmond and Alexa! Great experience. You know your fishing and I can't wait to do it again!

Fantastic Charter!!! We booked this charter very last minute, and Oasis was super nice and accommodating. They were quick to communicate and really attentive. We went out in the morning with Captain Hunter who was wonderful. He helped us max out our salmon limits (other boats were not catching as much as us based on what we heard and saw) and was great to talk to (we asked a million questions and he was patient answering them all). I can’t recommend Oasis enough!!! …

Alaskan Cruise Fishing Trip My wife and I were taking a cruise with another couple. One of the wives wanted to catch salmon while I wanted to fish for Halibut. Oasis had a 6 hour trip that was for salmon and halibut. The booking process was easy and with 4 of us, we would have our own boat. The booking process was easy and they guided us through everything we needed to get from the cruise ship to the marina. Our Captain, Thomas, was great. Our cruise ship had a small window of time to be in Ketchikan, but Oasis Alaska Charters was ready to go and we had a great trip and made it back to the ship with time to spare.

Alaskan Cruise fishing Trip We were so excited to finally live my husband's dream and catch salmon in Alaska after he retired. Our Captain Christopher couldn't have been better. He worked very hard and he was a please to chat with. My husband and I did each catch a salmon each when on one when we were out from 8 a.m. to noon was catching any. So don;t walls expect to catch "the big one" They day was warm so the water was and there had been an algae problem. We went 2 weeks ago in August 2018. The view was very beautiful and I could have stayed out all day just looking at the scenery. You do nee to remember there is the tip, processing and shipping of the fish you catch if you prefer that service. The only downfall was the transportation from the ship to the harbor. We were told by the charters that ir ran around $30 each way to get 15 miles. The taxi ran up to $55 each way, a total of $110 round trip plus tip which amount to $130. I would think for cruise customers that Oasis may start offering transportation at a nominal fee to the harbor and back, maybe for $25? The Taxi fee is way above what we had budgeted. It is a costly trip but if you have your heart set on an Alaskan fishing trip, then Christopher is a great Captain to ask for at Oasis. You also have fishing licenses to purchase. Our total four hour trip cost about $870 with all the costs for 2 people. That was with about 13 lbs. of salmon for our freezer. Best of luck!

A great decision! This was our first cruise and our first visit to Alaska, but not our first fishing charter so it didn’t take much convincing to book through a local charter versus through the cruise ship. Although we only caught a few fish, it was a great experience. Our captain, Thomas, was very nice and knowledgeable. He told us all about the history, geography, and wildlife of the area as well as his experiences. I am glad we booked with Oasis! I would definitely use them again.

Highlight of our Alaska trip! Like many of tourists in Ketchikan, we came in by cruise ship. We had a morning in town and wanted to do some salmon fishing. We found Oasis through Tripadvisor and we were extremely happy with our fishing experience! First off, the pricing is significantly cheaper than the cruise prices. There were four of us and we had our own private boat headed by Captain Murray. Because we had our private boat, each of us were had ample opportunity to reel in our own fish. The Oasis boat, Reel Therapy, is clean and comfortable. As a female, I was happy to see a fully private bathroom instead of a bucket and curtain like on other fishing charters. Snacks and drinks were also provided. Luckily that morning the weather was glorious and the waters were very calm. The 30 pound king salmon was easily the largest fish my husband ever caught. We also caught a 20 pound chum salmon and several rockfish. When we came back to the marina, we were met by the shipping staff and they set up overnight delivery for our fish to be shipped to California. We are enjoying our fresh Alaskan salmon for dinner tonight. I would highly recommend Oasis Fishing charter! When we come back to Alaska, we hope to fish with them again:)

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

Awesome We caught our limit of Pink Salmon in about an hour and spent the rest of our time trolling for Kings. A great experience with our guide Hunter!

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!!!

Great Experience for Grandsons Seeing my 12-yr. old twin grandsons faces as they hauled in their salmon is one of the great experiences of my life. Can’t say enough good things about our guide, Marie, and her skill in handling boat and equipment on a very windy day.

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!

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.

The Best part of our Alaskan Cruise Experience!!! My mom and dad and I had the opportunity to go Halibut fishing with Logan as our captain for our first excursion on our Emerald Princess cruise. It was nothing less than amazing!!! Logan was very friendly and personable. We caught our limit in Halibut, plus a ton of Turbot, a Cod, and we even got to experience a little Salmon fishing. It was all my mom talked about for the rest of our cruise. And to top it off, we had a ton of delicious fish fillets sent home for us! I would definitely recommend Oasis Alaska Charters to anyone on an Alaskan Cruise or even just making a visit to Ketchikan. You won't regret it!! (oh, and don't forget to bring a banana with you 😉

Excellent We actually went out twice with Oasis Alaska Charters during our last trip to Alaska and had a great time!

June Fishing! Salmon, but we caught a bunch! Good Captain, Chris! We had about 8 hrs off the cruise ship in Ketchikan, and went out with Captain Chris, of Oasis Alaska Charters. He had just arrived in Alaska not too lang prior, and so we were a little worried about our chances, BUT... we caught a bunch of fish, one big enough to keep, and eat. Chris was a good guide and captain. We saw lots of Bald Eagles, and when I went to throw back my rock fish, an Eagle swooped down and grabbed it out of the water. Nice lunch. After fishing, we had the Taxi driver stop at a little food market in Ketchikan, and then take us to a cool little town park up hill from the main street, where we cooked the salmon over a grill, had drinks, and enjoyed our own little picnic. Great fun, then we rode the 'local' bus, across town to the cruise docks. That was a fun experience, we got to ride on the 'non-tourist' side for a bit! Great day! Good fishing, good food.

Great Trip! Joanne,Mel, and our Captain Skylar were amazing. All helpfully and on the ball with every step of our trip! I would recommend them to anyone who asks! Thank you for 2 great days!

Great fishing! My wife and I spent the day with Axel and his brother. We caught halibut and salmon and shipped all home! We are still enjoying our fresh catch.Looking forward to our next trip with Oasis Alaska Charters!

Excellent customer service I booked a 4 hour fishing trip for my husband and his friend while our ship the Coral princess was to be in port on Monday September 23rd
Joanne the owner was very helpful getting all the details arranged

I gave her a deposit via credit card with the balance to be paid the day of the trip

To our disappointment our ship was unable to dock in Ketchikan due to high winds

When I called Joanne to advise her that my husband his friend were so sad that they were not going to be able to go fishing Joanne kindly refunded our entire deposit

This was excellent customer service and a very kind gesture. I would not hesitate in booking again if we ever get the chance to come back to Ketchikan Alaska

Great fishing trip The Captain worked overtime to catch fish. Boat is roomy and nice. Big cabin to get out of the weather. Picked us up and dropped us off so the whole day was easy. Fish processing right on site.

Great Fishing company We had the best day with oasis charters. Their communication was top notch. We were concerned that we wouldnt have enough time to fish and get back to boat. We did a private tour and they told us they will make it work. The pick up at our boat was easy. Our shuttle driver Tammy was so sweet and told us all about Ketchikan. Our captain was Danny. We had the best time either way him. We give him 5 stars. (Told you Danny). He brought us to a great spot. We got lucky and hit a halibut with first drop. Met our quota and then trolled for Salmon. He made it very easy and helped us have a great day. We got lucky and had only one of the few sunny days. Easy to have fish sent home. Fulfilled my wifes bucket list to fish in Alaska. You cant go wrong with Oasis.

Fabulous Fishing Trip We went out on Reel Therapy for 2 full days of fishing with Captain Murray just a week ago. We had an absolutely amazing time! Cpt. Murray was very knowledgeable, personable and a good instructor. We couldn't have had more fun and we caught over 200lbs of fish between the 4 of us. Thanks for a fantastic time!

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

No disappointments 3rd time out with this company and Captain Murray. 4 of us on the boat and 4 Coho Limits just like the previous times. Highly r

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!

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.

A family fishing trip that exceeded all our expectations Everything about this tour exceeded all our expectations.Jo picked us up at our cruise ship and drove the half hour to the fishing dock. Our family of six had the boat to ourselves. Our captain, Drew, got us all set up with safety instructions and then the fishing started. We didn't have to go far before we were catching big salmon, 21 in all to take home (we did not have a King Salmon stamp so could not keep those). Drew worked with each of us to make sure we got the technique to land the fish in the boat. The fish were packed and mailed and delivered on time. Every one of us had a great time, and we couldn't believe our amazing catch.Matt took us back to the cruise ship after a gorgeous day of fishing and catching big beautiful salmon.I highly recommend Oasis Alaska Charters for their personal service and great fishing experience.

Best Fishing Trip! One of the items on our family bucket list was to fish for halibut in the waters of Alaska. Not only did we get to fish, but we were able to limit out! Murray was the best captain and knew exactly where they were biting! There wasn't a dull minute the whole time! So nice to be able to leave our fish at the resort and have them process it and they sent it right to our home! Awesome experience!

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.

Timely, Great Service We were at The Oasis dock 25 minutes after our ship docked. We waited less than 10 minutes for our Captain Desmond to meet us. Once we got the licenses we were out fishing. While it was “shoulder” season we still managed to catch 7 fish. It was a great time.

Marvelous Halibut Charter Wonderful day Halibut fishing with Oasis at Ketchikan. The weather was very pleasant as all 6 of us caught a Halibut ranging from 25lbs to 15lbs. Had them processed and shipped back home tasty! Our Captain was very attentive and knew how to dialogue with our group fun times. Make sure to say hi to Steve, the bald eagle. Saw a dozen whales and lots of eagles. They picked us up at the port and returned us to Creek Street. Highly recommend and much less expensive than going through Princess.

Successful Salmon Fishing Excursion We arrived in Ketchikan on a Holland America cruise ship and had only 7.5 hrs. in port. We called Oasis Alaska Charters and spoke to Joanne, who helped us book a 6-hour private salmon fishing trip tailored to our ship's arrival and departure in port. We paid a small fee for their shuttle service between the ship's gangway exit and boat dock (both ways). Our shuttle service (provided by Oasis) went smoothly even though we were delayed 30 minutes getting into port and off the ship. We received texts and a phone call letting us know that our ship's arrival and our disembarkation was being monitored, which made our transportation experience as stress-less as possible. Hunter was our fishing boat captain. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and skilled at finding the right spots to fish. Within 1.5 hours we had almost maxed out our fishing limit of pink salmon. Once still we had reached our limit, Hunter asked if we wanted to fish for sea bass. We had lots of time, so we readily agreed. Hunter taught us the technique for fishing for sea bass, and within 1.5 hours we had reached our limit of sea bass. We noticed some eagles perched on treetops along the coast. Hunter showed us a cool trick for enticing the eagles to the boat. We caught a rockfish and reeled it up quickly to stun the fish (it got the "bends"). Once unhooked from the line, Hunter tossed the rockfish overboard. It was alive and floating on the surface. Within seconds, two eagles launched from shore. The first eagle made two dive passes before grabbing the fish in its talons on the third pass. It made for an excellent video to share with friends and family. Upon our request, Hunter took us to see an active eagle's nest. My buddy and I were extremely happy with our fishing trip/experience with Hunter/Oasis Alaska Charters. We HIGHLY recommend Oasis Alaska Charters. We will definitely charter another fishing trip with Oasis next time we are in Ketchikan. Thank you Hunter and Joanne!

Awesome We had a great time. Super friendly, very accommodating, and great service in every aspect. The fishing was really good and we had a super day.

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!

Amazing Salmon Fishing! Captain Murray is a fantastic guide! Let me preface this review by saying this was our second private fishing trip in Alaska. The first one, the day before was fun and we caught several salmon. However, Oasis Charter with Captain Murray was really exceptional! The boat was extremely clean and very nice. Murray made everything easy and fun! We caught a lot of coho salmon that we had shipped home. Best tasting fish we’ve ever eaten. Murray took us to several fishing sites and along the way pointed out many interesting sights! We plan to come book again book with Oasis and Murray in the near future!

Oasis Alaska Charters was our favorite Ketchikan excursion Our family had an amazing time with Oasis Alaska Charters. Our skipper Murray was fun and he took us to the land of big fish and lots of them! All in all we caught 9 salmon on a half day excursion and would have had 12 in total buy my son had trouble reeling a few in and we had to even throw back a few that weren't at length. The highlight of the day was our second to last catch when low and behold a bald eagle tries to steal the salmon that I was reeling in. It was pretty wild, but we managed to get the fish. Thanks Oasis Alaska Charters!

Great Fishing company We had the best day with oasis charters. Their communication was top notch. We were concerned that we wouldnt have enough time to fish and get back to boat. We did a private tour and they told us they will make it work. The pick up at our boat was easy. Our shuttle driver Tammy was so sweet and told us all about Ketchikan. Our captain was Danny.

You cant go wrong with Oasis.

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

Salmon fishing with friends We had a great time, fishing was good. Mostly we caught pinks, some silvers, and a few kings. Which we put back. Everyone enjoyed the Captain with his knowledge and sense of humor. A great time was had by all. Would do it again gladly.

Halibut Fishing Day We had the absolute best day with Capt. Hunter out fishing for halibut. It was very relaxing, fun and successful. We caught several halibut as well as a Ling Cod which is very rare. Hunter was very easygoing and accommodating. The owner, Mark, picked us up and dropped us back off at our cruise ship pier for a very smooth experience. We highly recommend Oasis for a great fishing experience.

6 hr Halibut and Salmon fishing My wife and I had an excellent trip weather was very nice. The fishing was okay but our captain Micheal from florida did everything to put us on fish.

Super Salmon Survey We had a great time with captain Murray. He put us on the fish! 32 Salmon in 5 hours. Crazy!
Great weather! Great time!

oasischarters my wife and i chartered a boat for a 4 hour salmon fishing with captain murray. captain murray could not have been better.....he made our fishing time fun and memorable. we were able to catch 3 salmon that we had shipped back home. oasis alaska charters also recommended that we use sourdough taxi to bring us to and from the marina...the driver was pleasant and made sure we got back to the ship on time. great time in ketchikan alaska

Awesome trip, well worth it! Our family booked a 4 hour charter while in port. Josh was our captain for the day and he was awesome! He had a great eye for seeing when we hooked a fish and knew when it was a good time to try a new spot. We caught 6-7 fish with 2 being large enough to keep (one was just barely a quarter inch under!). We had a great time and made it back to port with plenty of time to spare, we weren't worried about it at all. We loved it just being the 4 of us in our group with Josh and not having to share the boat with a giant/larger group. I only wish we had more time in port to keep fishing!

Couldnt be happier This charter did such an amazing job from start to finish. Capt Murry is a Phenomenal Capt and knows where all the fish are. Mark and Joann do an amazing job running Oasis charters. If you wanna catch the biggest and best fish you would be crazy to not to go fishing with OASIS Charter. …

Incredible salmon fishing experience The wife and I were on a cruise and wanted to go salmon fishing! This did not disappoint! I did a lot of research on the various charter boats and chose this one and it was an incredible experience. Communication was great! We had them pick us up and it was stress free! We caught 13 fish during the 4 hour tour! We shipped them back home super easy process they handle right at the dock made it back to the ship with plenty of time to spare! We were also pretty amateur fishermen and Josh was amazing! Highly recommend we booked separately from the cruise line and no issues!

Reliable, honest , professional, hard working I had a pleasure dealing with Mark and Joann planning our day in Ketchikan during our cruise. To start with, they informed me that we couldn’t keep any of the King salmon that we catch because of state regulations. So, they agreed to take us bottom fishing, which is normally more expensive. Then, they also honored the coupon that came out after i made my reservation. I communicated with them via email and phone, and the response was always prompt. When we arrived, everything was exactly how it was described on their website. We were met by Captain Thomas, who couldn’t be more accommodating and patient with our sons. We caught and released one King salmon and then caught a bunch of Rock Fish. Again, there was not a hint of irritation when my son asked him the same question for the 100th time. Thomas is very patient and knowledgeable on many types of fish. He tried to find the best location for fishing. On the way back, we saw some bold eagles but not any other wild life. But, that’s just luck. I would not hesitate using this company again, and would definitely recommend it to anyone.

Above and beyond anything we could have imagined. My friend George and I arrived at Clover Pass Resort for a 4 hour halibut fishing trip on July 14th. We were met by Jo Ann who was very helpful in showing us to the boat. There we met Capt. Logan and his brother and 1st mate Earl. Bought our licenses on board and were underway. Less than 15 min traveling to a spot. baited and fishing. 5 minutes later my friend George caught a nice halibut and 40 min. after that I caught mine and we were done in less than an hour Logan and Earl were top notch in handling everything from instruction on hooking, reeling and fighting fighting the fish.After the halibut, Logan suggested we fish for salmon and I'm glad we did. we caught 2 silver & 1 pink salmon as well as a ling cod and rock fish. If the fish stopped biting the crew were quick to change lures with something new. We had a lot of hits and lost a few as well as threw some back. The bay was like a mirror and the temp. was in the 60's .Our catch was cleaned at the dock, frozen in 1lb. packages and shipped to our homes on the date we asked for. Oasis Alaska Charters went above and beyond anything we could have asked for. Thanks Logan, Earl, Jo Ann and Mark for making this a trip we"ll never forget.Paul Chupka

Great day fishing with Oasis We rented a charter with Oasis for a full day of halibut and king fishing. From start to finish, couldn't have asked for better service! Mark was great to work with via email, getting everything set up and ready for our trip. I was impressed with the response time to my 100 questions (sorry Mark!) and all my questions were answered completely, accurately and quickly. Once we arrived, our captain, Mike, was terrific! Even though the seas were a bit rough that day, Mike made every effort to get us to some great fishing areas, took the time to point out interesting areas, and was a lot of fun to be out with. He really went out of his way to make sure we had a wonderful time and it was really appreciated! Would recommend Oasis 100%!

Unforgettable experience As a first timer in Alaska and such fantastic fishing activity, I have to say Oasis and their crew are the best on making the things so easy for their visitors, we had great time with our customers, thanks a lot! looking forward to come back again.

Another full day out with captain Murray. Last year we had a full day with captain Murray and we limited out on halibut,cod and sea bass as well as a bunch of salmon. This year was more of the same as we had six of us instead of four last year. Didn’t make a difference. We all limited out on the same fish and a lot of salmon. This guide is so busy baiting hooks , netting fish ,watching the fish finder,moving back on the fish after minutes of no bites. I just can’t imagine a better guide. He does the work of three people and when you get back you know where the money was spent and it was well worth it. Captain Murray, thank you for another amazing experience!Hope to do it again next year.

Great fishing We had an excellent time highly recommend them our captain was Desmond and was wonderful we caught our limit of halibut plus cod and salmon

1/2 day salmon fishing We had a great time fishing with Oasis , fishing was a little slow that day but still managed some nice Salmon , Mel the shuttle driver was a very nice guy and showed up right on time , Mark and Joann were easy to work with for a couple minor changes to our trip , we opted for a private charter rather than sharing time with other cruise guests and was well worth it ! Thanks Again , Brian MN

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!

Salmon fishing at its best Our group of 5 had a great experience. After a short taxi from the cruise ship we were greeted as soon as we arrived and within minutes were fishing. Our Guide could not have been any better. She was a pleasure to spend time with and also put us on the fish! We would highly recommend. Thank you for making our dream Alaska Salmon fishing trip a success. Hope to be back soon!

Fun and fruitful We had a great time and created some great family memories not to mention all the fish we caught. We had our fish shipped home and it was delicious

Salmon fishing off cruise - Great Great day with Capt. Sammy Salmon fishing. The whole experience was first class. Transportation from cruise ship went smoothly both there & back. Boat was clean & felt very safe. The equipment all worked very well & no issues. 4 hour charter was fun. Caught 3 keeper salmon & about 5 others that we had to throw back in due to size. Great way to try salmon fishing off a cruise trip. Would recommend to all.

Awesome! Fabulous trip! The owners are overly accommodating-we did not have our license as we were supposed to and they printed them for us at their home. Murray was a fabulous captain-we quickly caught our limit of halibut and he took us to fish for other types of fish! When we visit Alaska again, we will definitely use Oasis!

Ketchikan Fishing The pre-fishing information on how to get a fishing license, taxi contact and planning for departure and return to our cruise ship. Chris our captain was knowledgeable about the recent movement of halibut and king salmon. Likewise, Chris was engaging with our group on fishing and other Alaskan experiences. Our party of 3 caught halibut and king salmon even though it was early in the season (June 6th, 2019). We thoroughly enjoyed our 6 hour trip and had a beautiful day on the water near Prince of Wales Island.

3 Days of Awesome Fishing Captain Murray provided us with 3 great days of fishing! Captain was high energy and helped our group of 4 with lines, bait, etc and was able to find the spots to catch the fish.We had a great time on the boat ,,,,plenty of room on the boat, great music, and hospitality. Would go again without any hesitation.

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.

Great Trip! Had a trip with Marie on 6/18 and it was awesome! She was so much fun and we caught our limit of Halibut, Rockfish, and one keeper King Salmon along with two shorts. Would definitely go out again.

Great day with a great captain! Capt. Logan was awesome! Such a personable, professional young man with such a great work ethic! And we caught fish - even a big King- so everyone left happy!

Spectacular day of fishing! We had a fantastic time with Captain Murray. He was just awesome. So attentive and really knew his stuff. We were catching so many fish -halibut and Salmon- that it was hard to even keep up! My dad and brother have been on many fishing charters and said by far this was the most successful trip we have ever had. We caught more fish than we can probably ever eat! Great day! Also saw some whales as a bonus. Thank you Murray! We loved spending the day with you!

4 Hour Charter off cruise ship on Late August 2018 Although we did not catch anything huge, everyone caught at least one keeper and all had a great time on the charter. Captain Murray was professional, knowledgeable, cheerful, and his boat was more than well maintained, equipped, comfortable, and stocked. We all felt welcome on his boat, and recognized during the charter his efforts to make our brief time on the water as memorable as possible.

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!

Had the most memorable time, love it!!!! I had such an amazing time. The staff was on point at all times never missing A beat. Everyone was extremely friendly & made you feel the comforts of home. Definitely will do this again.

Had a great time. Captain was very friendly and knowledgeable. Great fishing, great weather, would recommend to anyone taking a cruise to Alaska.

We Are Coming Back This is our fifth consecutive year fishing with Captain Murray at Oasis Alaska Charters. The knowledge and effort he puts in to limiting us out is beyond worthy description. We so much enjoy the outstanding experience, the scenery, the sportsmanship and, of course the catch. He even made the extra effort to accommodate our request to bring in halibut as well. We are coming back.

Great fishing We fished for 2 full days caught halibut and pinks and a couple silvers the first day and the second we caught 2 keeper kings and had to return 6 more they were not big enough. We caught rock fish and a load of pinks. Beautiful scenery great captain Chris we highly recommend Oasis fishing charters

Great Day!! We were very happy with 95% of our fishing adventure. The weather was perfection, the captain was great! The fish were not cooperating, but we thoroughly understand that is out of their hands. We caught 1 king that was too small to keep, and one beautiful Silver. There were no other bites, very disappointing for the money we paid. Because a previous charter did not want to keep their Pinks, they did offer us to keep them. We happily accepted that offer, and are awaiting our fish. We had a bonus of watching 10 whale breaches during our trip, so that was amazing!! we wouldn't hesitate to go with Oasis again. More

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!

Captain Drew Does It Again! Captain Drew was very knowledgeable and knew where the fish were! We maxed out on the quantity of salmon we could catch per day (6) in 2 hours which was awesome!

The most fun you will have In Ketchikan! Oasis Alaska Charters and Captain Murray were phenomenal! Fantastic company, excellent fishing Captains, they know exactly what they’re doing! The communication is great and they make everything flow so smoothly, you can just enjoy the fishing! They really take great care of their guests, and put you right on the fish! They even tried their best to keep us on smooth waters, we were very happy with our experience and plan to fish again with them in the future! …

Two great days of fishing! My son and I had two great days of fishing with Captain Thomas, one fishing for salmon and one for halibut. Captain Thomas was very knowledgeable and friendly. We had great success both days. We even had personalized service with Jo Ann joining us one day, making the experience that much better. Would definitely go with Oasis again!Tad and Carter

What a Phenomenal Experience! This fishing trip was an incredible experience. Mark and Captain Murray made fishing so easy for us. Throughout the two days on the water, we caught a lot of halibut and salmon--in fact, the fish were almost jumping into the boat! We also had a lot of laughs and made some great memories. Thank you Mark and Captain Murray for a great time. We'll be next year with more family members.

Oasis was an awesome adventure! Murray, Axle, Chris, and Thomas are All awesome fishing guides! They kept us on the fish all day long and kept our hooks in the water. I never expected to catch the amount of fish we did. We caught everything! King salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Halibut, Sea Bass and more. I would definitely go back today. The guides are fun and professional, not to mention the owners are a class act! Great atmosphere, great people, I feel like I left some friends behind when I came home....... I would give more stars if I could.

Halibut Fishing Charter Oasis Charter was amazing. First, communication was fantastic!!! The shuttle was there waiting for us as we debarked the ship. Everyone worked with us to make this Charter fantastic given our tight time-line. Hunter was a great guide. He took us to spots that had the most success rates. Within 20 minutes we had our limits of halibut. We then trolled for salmon. Before Hunter could finish explaining what to expect we had a coho on the line. Within an hour, we caught 6 coho salmon but, two got away (not Hunters fault, lol). Oasis took care of the fish processing and shipping to our home. They got us back in time to quickly visit a shop to get a t-shirt! I highly recommend Oasis Charter especially if you are taking an Alaska cruise. So, we did a shore salmon fishing excursion the day before and caught absolutely nothing. In addition, it was expensive. Don't waste your time or money on this, book with Oasis Charter instead. Thank you Oasis Charter and thank you to Hunter and the entire team for a great trip!

Salmon and Halibut fishing charter in Ketchican The entire trip and stay at the Clover Pass lodge was a outstanding experience. Oasis Alaska employs Murray the fishing guide and he works very hard to get you on the fish and is a super cool. Boats and fishing equipment were nice and well maintained. The Clover Pass Lodge is older and rooms are small, but everything was clean, well maintained and very nice. The meals that Clover Pass has prepared are great. The fish cleaning and shipping from Clover Pass was a great service. We got 150lbs of fish filets in two days fishing.

Overall the entire fishing charter and lodge were great. I would highly recommend this to any one who has wanted to do something like this.

Murray is a great guide. I would request him for my next trip. He worked non stop to make sure we had our limits of fish. And he was just flat out fun to fish with.

Salmon fishing with Captain Mike was amazing! Our group was my Mom (75), my brother (35) myself (52). It was perfect for all of us. I was worried about my Mom because she has had two knee replacements, but our captain made sure she was safe and even reeled in two fish. We had our fish processed and shipped home right from the dock at Clover Pass. We took a taxi to Clover Pass and it gave us the opportunity to see more of Ketchikan. It was super easy. This was my third time to fish in Ketchikan while cruising and this charter was excellent! I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is considering a private charter.

Best fishing experience ever!!! Went up to Ketchikan for a few days of fishing and I was not disappointed. The boat was clean and even though it had been a long time since I fished, the captain was patient and helped me with the process. The whole experience from booking to fishing was top notch!!! Don't hesitate to book with Oasis charters I certainly will.

Best fishing trip ever I could not have asked for a better fishing charter. They knew that we had a limited amount of time for fishing because we had to get back to our cruise ship, so they did everything they could to get us on the water and fishing asap. We left the dock and were catching fish within 15 minutes. Captain Murray found a honey hole and helped us put 41 fish on ice in about 3 1/2 hours. We had a great time and would happily use Oasis Alaska Charters again. I've already recommended them to several friends.

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!

Awesome Reunion with Oasis Alaska Charters We had heard that the cruise lines were not visiting Ketchikan and felt like we needed to joint Mark, Joanne and Capt Murray to help with Covid 2020. What a great time, weather was ok, but Murray put us on the fish and we enjoyed our scheduled two days so well that we all extended to a third day, where we slayed salmon and halibut. Great time had by all and we will be back!!! Cheers to a great organization.

Dad fishing with daughters I took my two daughters salmon and rock fishing. The captain was real hands on and gave us the best amount of fishing for our time. We went in July, if I did it again would go in mid August and do the all day. If you do the the all day the well take you to the cape which is a two hour trip, bigger rock fish and enough time to catch more salmon

Awesome Charter Oasis and our captain Chris took great care of us. He knew exactly where to go and what to do to consistently be reeling in fish. We were able to limit out on Ling Cod, and Rock fish both days, and walked away with ~40 fish in two days.

Great charter Murray was a great guide, he understood the water even though the Halibut were not biting we had plenty of action from other bottom fish.

Great Charter Company! We fished with Oasis on July 19th. We were cruising on Royal Caribbean. Hunter was our Captain and we had a great time! There were 5 in our party including 2 younger boys and all of us caught a King Salmon, 2 of which were keepers and one was just a half inch short.

We were personally brought to and from the marina by one of the owners of the company and she was incredibly personable. The trip from the docks to the marina was around 15-20 minutes and well worth it. I have chartered in many areas like Costa Rica and multiple places in Florida and know you are never guaranteed to catch fish. We booked a 4 hour trip which is not a very long time and realize we were very lucky to have each of us catch a fish. We ran into a couple on the cruise who fished in Ketchikan (not with Oasis) who did not catch anything. For us, Hunter had a plan and an area to fish. He worked that area and it paid off.

I was initially a little hesitant to book with a company outside of Royal Caribbean for this charter but so, so glad we did. The whole experience with Oasis, the great communication, everything was top notch!

I highly recommend Oasis for their professional service and personal touch. Thanks, Oasis!

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!!

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.

Fun fishing with an extra bonus JoAnn was extremely helpful in getting us scheduled and making changes that were needed. Capt Murray is amazing! He is efficient, fun, and knows right where to go. We have 2 younger children and a teenager and they all had a blast. Oasis made it easy for us and it was extra enjoyable. The only recommendation would be to make sure you get your fishing license ahead. We thought the company did that but its so easy they do expect adults to do it. Once we realized, we did it while on the boat with no problem!

Fishing in AK The boat was a disappointment for sure. We are in the boat for four hours watching our captain setup the fishing rods and then us waiting for a bite with no place to sit down. There were four of us fishing for $810.00. The seas were very rough so we were continually knocked around. We are all in our late sixties and seventies. My husband was thrown and was bruised the next day. We did catch three salmon and one halibut (that was too long so was released). More

Highly recommend Great trip. We caught our limit in halibut and then fished for salmon until our time was up. Everyone went out of their way to make our trip awesome.

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!

Great Day!! We were very happy with 95% of our fishing adventure. The weather was perfection, the captain was great! The fish were not cooperating, but we thoroughly understand that is out of their hands. We caught 1 king that was too small to keep, and one beautiful Silver. There were no other bites, very disappointing for the money we paid. Because a previous charter did not want to keep their Pinks, they did offer us to keep them. We happily accepted that offer, and are awaiting our fish. We had a bonus of watching 10 whale breaches during our trip, so that was amazing!! we wouldn't hesitate to go with Oasis again.

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. …

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!

You've Got Plenty of Time to Book Oasis During a Shore Excursion! We booked with Oasis instead of doing the fishing shore excursion through the cruise line (Norwegian). We thought it would be a bit more hassle because of having to call for a taxi, but really, it all went so smoothly and gave even more business to locals. In fact, talking to the taxi driver likely gave us more of a glimpse into Alaskan life than we ever would have doing the ship's shore excursion. We also had plenty of time to get to Oasis and back.Fun fishing! We were upriver from the cruise line charters, and we had the river to ourselves - and the boat, as no one joined our family of four. Bald eagles watched us from the treetops and tried to steal our fish when they saw them on line! We were a bit early for the salmon run so we didn't catch any kings, but we caught 2 chums and 3 rock fish. They cleaned them right on the dock and we had them shipped to my husband's dad for Father's Day (health wouldn't permit him to come on the cruise). Everything arrived in good order.The people at Oasis were great. The office and docks were staffed by clean-cut, polite Latter-day Saint kids up from Utah doing "mission service." The captain was young and friendly, living, as he said, "a working vacation."We originally booked through Oasis to save a few bucks. In the end, we would have paid a few bucks extra for the adventure and privacy that booking through Oasis provided. Go for it!!

Great again! Hunter again was able to put us on fish for three consecutive days. Brought home over 175lbs of silvers, halibut and cod. We also donated 20lbs to the local women’s shelter.

Marvelous Halibut Charter Wonderful day Halibut fishing with Oasis at Ketchikan. The weather was very pleasant as all 6 of us caught a Halibut ranging from 25lbs to 15lbs. Had them processed and shipped back home...tasty! Our Captain was very attentive and knew how to dialogue with our group...fun times. Make sure to say hi to Steve, the bald eagle. Saw a dozen whales and lots of eagles. They picked us up at the port and returned us to Creek Street. Highly recommend...and much less expensive than going through Princess.

6 hr Halibut and Salmon Fishing trip Very good. wind and seas were rough that day but we caught 5 salmon, seen many eagles picking up fish, a deer came swimming by and went out of sight heading to another Island 15 miles away. I watched him with binoculars until he was out of sight. Seen seals, sea Lions and other assorted wildlife. Best thing though was the Captain dropped one of our fish in the water at the dock. We could see it about 20 feet down lying on the bottom. He felt bad and said that we worked too hard for that fish so he stripped down to his swim trunks ( we weren't sure about that at first!) then he dove into that cold water and retrieved it! BEST CAPTAIN EVER! We had fun.
