Murray, Steve, Humpbacks Oh My! We spent 5 hours fishing with Murray, our guide. He knew the the area well, was in tune with other fisherman, and the tides. We hit our limit on halibut, got a King Salmon, and a few other variety of fish. We even got to meet "Steve" the Bald Eagle that ate fish literally thrown from Murray's hand. Plus, we saw a humpback whale just as we were leaving the marina. The transfer to and from the port was easy, and they were very conscientious of our cruising times. I was worried about booking outside the ship. No need to worry! When we arrived back to the marina, the staff that cleaned and shipped the fish were efficient and amazing!
This exceeded our expectations. If we go back, they will be the first people we call!morelessericM4622JL 8/21/2019SO FUN! This might have been the best part about our cruise! We had a great time and our arms were sore from reeling in all the fish! Great day and great Captain!

Had a great time Had a great time. Guide(Josh) was patient and very informative. Josh was able to put us in just the right spot so that me and my son were able to both catch Halibut.
morelessRandy 9/09/2022Best Fishing Trip Ever I'm the President of Purple Heart Anglers a 501c3 non-profit. We take Disabled Veterans fishing and hunting. This was our 9th year with Oasis Alaska Charters, and we are already booked for 2023. The whole thing was excellent. From the beginning to the end. We had 12 people this year and plan on 12 for next year. The captains were knowledgeable, accommodating to our Disabled Veterans needs and made sure everybody had the "Trip of a Lifetime" we said it would be.
Cannot thank them all enough for a great fishing experience.moreless - drcandy2016 8/15/2016
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.
morelessDarcy 9/27/2019A fantastic time in Alaska! We had so much fun, we even caught some fish! Definitely one of the absolute highlights of our Alaskan vacation. The boat was the perfect size. It was just the six of us so there weren’t tons of people trying to fish at one time getting their lines crossed, etc. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to go fishing to book your tour through Oasis Alaska Charters.

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.morelesskevin 12/28/2017Excellent charter service Qasis charters provided us with excellent service. The boat and fishing gear were excellent and the boat captain worked his tail off to to see that we had every chance to fill our limits everyday which we did. I would not hesitate to book another fishing trip with these folks in the future

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!
morelessJack 9/14/2018My 4 hr salmon charter Traveled to Alaska on the NCL Bliss. This was my wife’s dream cruise. Several weeks before I decided to try fishing while in Ketchikan. Knowing full well that our time was limited, I choose Oasis both on reviews and the ability to do a 4 hour trip and still have an hour to spend in town. Captain Des and his first mate proved to be the perfect match.
Hearing that the prior few days were slim pickings did not diminish my excitement for the trip. I wanted the experience of a cruising on a small boat and chasing salmon and Capt Des did not disappoint. Headed out to one of his favorite spots fished about a half hour with one or two bites. Not satisfied pulled anchor and went for about 20 minutes. That’s where I caught my first coho.
He was excited as I was. Dropped line and said to me “you need at least 2 “ I told him wanted to have my family In for a salmon dinner fresh caught. About 30 minutes before having to return, I got my second coho.
The reviews are totally correct, these guys work hard to get fish for their clients . While there are no guarantees in fishing it’s not from their lack of trying . In many cases it is a once in a life time trip. And thanks to first mate Alexis, she did the video of my catching both coho’s and captured some beautiful scenery as well
In closing I highly recommend these folks. For cruisers their 4 hour even with the 20 minute ride is perfect.Thanks Capt Des and First Mate Alexis
For an awesome trip. Yes , you got me hooked (pardon the pun) and hope to plan a two day trip this summermoreless - rself76713 9/13/2019
One hell of a time Murray and his wife were awesome they treated my wife kids and my self like family. We will be back!
morelessToddE804 8/15/2023Top Notch Organization Across the Board! From start to finish this was one of the best and easiest vacation experiences of my life. Joanne was very informative and patient with all my questions. Tammy, our shuttle driver was amazing and had a ton of local knowledge. Hunter was our guide, and he did put us on the fish. We brought back 20 Salmon, but even if we would not of, he would have made sure we had a good time. I will be back to Ketchikan to fish with this group again.
moreless - JSS 9/26/2022
EPIC The favorite part was catching so many Coho's. Salmon fishing was on my husband's bucket list. We were on a 9-day Alaskan cruise. Fishing was one of the last things we planned. I had hoped and prayed that this fishing adventure would exceed my husband's expectations. It did...ON EVERY LEVEL!!!! From the shuttle ride from/to the port, to the boat and captain (Drew), to the weather (sunny, no winds...in September), to the fishing...EVERYTHING was absolutely wonderful! Can't say enough good things about this company. - Oh yes I can! We had 60 lbs. of salmon filets shipped home to Tennessee. 60 POUNDS OF FILETS!!!! - Thank you Oasis Alaska Charters so much! - P.S. The group's picture is on INSTAGRAM.
moreless967nathaniele 8/26/2024Incredible 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!

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
morelesssusanh50insydney 7/19/2019Fabulous 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.

moreless - Etwaite 8/03/2019
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.
morelessR7724GBgordonc 8/05/2021Hands Down, the Best! Oasis and Captain Hunter were indescribably great. Oasis was upfront and extremely helpful with our group. This was our first time on a charter so talking with them ahead of time I had so many questions I was annoying myself. The Oasis team never even sounded a little irritated. They took everything in stride and seemed eager and excited to help even when we needed to add another person at the last minute.
As far as Captain Hunter, I can't say enough. We were all extremely new at fishing. 3/5 of us a had never fished at all and the other two only here and there on lakes. He talked us through everything and ran himself ragged helping out at every opportunity. You could see other boats from different companies out there and no one was working close to as hard as he ways helping us out. I have no doubt that he is adaptable to any skill level and would be awesome for seasoned fishers as well. He talked to us about our options, gave us his professional recommendations, and was insanely friendly the whole trip. He was never pushy or seemed in a hurry to to get us out of there and managed to get us on more fish than we could ever catch. None of us would have thought we would limit out on everything, but we did! We understand that it doesn't always go that way, but it was great knowing he was going to do everything in his power to get us there.
Even the crew at the dock at the end were extremely friendly and helpful getting our fished processed and explaining our options for getting them home.
I can't imagine I will ever go on another charter that was better than this entire team provided. If I am ever back that way I know the only company I will book with.moreless - Margaret 5/31/2022
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!!
morelessS5916DDrobertm 8/22/2022Best Fishing Trip Ever Perfect trip. Drew and Joann were amazing and very accommodating. The fishing system was down at the state level and Joann drove us to get the license. Drew was our captain and we caught our limit of halibut in about two hours. This left time for salmon fishing and we caught seven salmon (6 pink and a coho). This was in a four hour trip. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Verry disapointed! Well the staff was very friendly and helpful, however since we spent over 1,600 dollars I was hoping to catch some fish. But since we spent all that money and we did not even catch one fish, I am very very disappointed! I would hope that at least some of my money will be refunded back to my credit card to make things right.
morelessTrail27074229126 6/28/2019If 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.

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.
morelessNavigate523749 9/27/2021Absolutely incredible What an incredible crew and ownership.
I scheduled with Oasis charters after everything on our cruise was booked. I am so glad that this was the case. I wanted a charter for 2 which I could not get booking through the cruise anyway.
They were the first people to answer the phone call (not a computer voice) talking with Mark and Joanne was a wonderful experience. I called back multiple times after booking our excursion with questions. They were so kind and answered every question I had without making me feel like what I may have been asking was dumb or stupid. It was our first fishing excursion so I had a lot of dumb stuff I was thinking about. When we got to port Mark was right there waiting. When we arrived at the dock for our excursion we met our captain Axl (not sure of spelling). We could not have asked for a better captain for us. He supplied us with great info and an incredible fishing trip. We almost limited out by catching 9 of a possible 12 salmon in our short 4 hr excursion. The conversation and the expertise he showed was awesome.
Thank you so much Oasis Alaskan Charters what an incredible memory we will have for the rest of our lives.

Salmon and Halibut fishing I took my 2 teenager kids. As promised it was a private tour. Captain was really nice and accommodated our request to try both Salmon and Halibut fishing. We caught both salmon and Halibut.

50th anniversary celebration wonderful warm welcome. paperwork handled easily, skilled captains our group of 10 included 3 12 yr olds and a 14 year old. Each of us had a chance to bring in a salmon, got pretty exciting when 3 of our 5 lines hit at once. thanks to our skilled captain, Tom, we were able to bring them all in. Great photo opportunity at the end of our adventure. what a perfect way to spend our 50th anniversary with family.
morelessSandy 7/27/2016Spectacular 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!

Best Fishing Trip EVER! This was one of the best experiences of my life, hands down. Everyone involved with Oasis and Salmon Falls were professional, fun, and incredibly gracious.

morelessaltalomafolks 7/10/2015A great fishing experience on Oasis Alaska Charters Our family of three, including our 16 year old son, went salmon fishing with Mark on Father's Day. It was a great day with warm weather and two salmon caught including a 19 pound king salmon. We enjoyed the first part of the 4 hour charter chatting with Mark about fishing and life in Alaska and then the king hit the bait. Mark did a great job helping me bring the fish into the net and into the boat. They cleaned and filleted the two salmon on the dock and shipped them home frozen so they would arrive the day we got home. We booked this charter independently prior to sailing on the Celebrity Solstice. This saved us some money and allowed us to pick the charter we wanted rather than take pot luck with whatever the cruise line lined up for us. Plus we had the entire boat to ourselves. We took a cab to the marina and Mark met us there. We were able to get our fishing licences at the marina.We got back in plenty of time walk around Ketchikan and get to the ship on time. The fishing charter with Oasis and Mark was the highlight of our cruise to Alaska. Oh...and the fish is delicious.

Private Fishing Charter My husband and I went out with Chris and had a great time. Everything from the booking process, communication before the trip, the fishing trip went smoothly. Our captain Chris was wonderful! We caught some halibut and rock fish and sent them home. They gave us the name of a local taxi company to call to pick us up from the pier and the cab driver came and picked us back up. All in all a wonderful experience. So much better than being cattle herded by the cruise line and on a fishing boat with 6 other people.

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.

Amazing Trip Oasis Charters literally saved our trip. Our original plans blew up due to Covid and JoAnn and our captain, Chris, stepped in and completely blew us away with an incredible trip. We originally were scheduled with Oasis for a 1 day trip, and ended up going out with Chris for all 4 days. Chris was a blast and put us on the fish each day, catching everything from Salmon and Halibut, to Sea Bass, cod and rockfish. We will be back again next year and the ONLY choice is Oasis Alaska Charters. What an amazing trip! See you next year.
Ed & SuemorelessJeff 8/04/2022Will fish with Alaskan Oasis Charters again We flew from Tampa, Fl for 3 days of fishing. We made all our own arrangements, but Mark was very helpful with information about the Ketchikan area. We fished with Capt. Drew who is very knowledgable and helpful, a solid guide. We fished Tue 6hrs for Salmon and Halibut. Limited out on both. Fished Wed for 4hrs and limited on Salmon. Thur was a tough 4hrs targeting Halibut in the same location where we caught them on Tue. Cape Drew worked hard for us and we ended the day jigging a couple more Salmon.

A great fishing experience Today, my husband and I went out on a charter with captain Matt. We knew it was a little early in the season and heard the fishing wasn't that great yet... But we decided to go anyways and give it a shot. Well, the fish weren't biting but captain Matt went above and beyond to get us a fish. He was even willing to stay out longer than we had originally booked and made sure we didn't go back in until we caught some halibut. We had a great experience with him and would definitely book with this company again. Thank you for a great day Captain Matt!!

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! …

Amazing time! Lots of fun Was overall a great experience! We caught our limit and still had time so our guide Hunter took us trolling. This was my first time deep sea fishing and it was fun! They are all extremely nice and when we come back, we will be using them again! The only thing we didn’t know is that salmon fishing was not open yet so we were unable to catch any.

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.morelesscarlsonfarms 7/31/2023Highly Recommended- great time! Fantastic! Picked up and dropped off at the port. We chartered 2 boats for 8 people and we each caught our limit during the 4 hour excursion. Guides were great! This definitely was a highlight of the trip for all of our group. Very fun!

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!morelessNate 1/01/1970No 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

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.

Labor Day Weekend 2017 Great guide; we fished for several hours as described in the package and caught several types of fish - halibut, salmon and cod.
morelessDaydream54642868362 6/28/2019Great 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!

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.
morelessJL3221 8/18/2022Halibut 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.

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.
morelessJohn 6/24/2023Great 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!!!moreless - ewhitney4 9/18/2018
September Chartered Fishing Trip Very professional and friendly fishing service. Very knowledgeable about the area and where to actually locate the fishing grounds and not just go with the masses. Better success than any other people on our cruise ship.

Fish on! We were in Ketchikan for two days and with very late notice on our part, they were able to take us out fishing. We caught Halibut, rockfish, Pacific Cod, Coho and Pink Salmon. The boat was very clean and the gear was in great shape. We happened to see quite a few whales and on the second day of fishing our captain got us pretty close to a pair of whales just in time to see it breach. The processors in Clover pass were also awesome. We will return again in the future to Oasis. Thanks

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!

Great day of salmon fishing Had a great day of fishing with Oasis. In four hours we caught (and released) about 25 salmon in 4 hours. Easy process and the kids had a blast. The NCL cruise we were on leaves very few options at this port and we had a lot more fun and better Alaskan experience in Ketchikan then the rest of our group. Thanks.

Great job I booked Oasis for 8 of my clients and they've raved over the GREAT job. The captains were a husband/wife team and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great fishing charter in Ketchikan.
morelessConnector40915574816 6/22/2019Ketchikan 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.

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. …
morelessR4073IYsuer 7/20/2025We had the best time. I highly recommend using the shuttle service; it took the stress out of getting to the marina and back to the ship on time. TJ, our captain, was excellent, informative, and so excited when we hooked a fish. Everything was excellent—from booking, communication, transportation, to fishing.

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.
morelessegiovanola 6/28/2023The Best of the Best Once again Oasis Alaska Charters delivered the best of the best. We say this every year but somehow the bar continues to be raised and our experience is exceptional. Murray is quite simply an expert at what he does. His knowledge, expertise and coaching are second to none and he is a blast to spend 3 full days with. Thank you Mark, JoAnn, Murray and team you guys are awesome and we look forward to next year and many more to come. See you next June!!
