- Jamie 6/01/2023Great time! We had a great time with Oasis fishing charters. We ended up with 3 Halibut. Guide was good and the whales gave us quite the show. It was a great experience.morelessU461CFaprilg 9/27/2021Amazing 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!moreless - IndianPrincessNG 5/10/2018Fishing in Ketchikan Fishing and captain were a blast!

This is one of the best excursions we took in Alaska.You really have to do this!morelessMr 8/09/2021Two 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. …moreless
- jleblanc48 7/21/2018Halibut Fishing Captain Murray was the best! Not only did he hook us up on halibut, our limit plus, we caught a small cod and tried for salmon. We saw a pod of whales and they swam right by us. Captain Murray was fun, knowledgeable, accommodating, and hard working. He ensured we had plenty of time to get back to our cruise ship, yet gave us our full fishing time paid for. I would not hesitate to sail with Captain Murray at Oasis Alaska Charters again.morelessN.Garcia 7/11/2021The 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! …moreless
- GCGOINGS 6/25/2018Beautiful day on the water Although the halibut fishing was rough, Thomas did his best to keep us in some action. We caught a wide variety of fish and had a great time. If our ship had not been leaving port early, I would have tried to book Thomas for the afternoon also. My sons and i thoroughly enjoyed it.morelesserikbullock 8/20/2018Fishing Charter Cptn. Thomas had us on the salmon with a short window of time. We were pressed as we had limited time for our excursion from the cruise ship, but ended up catching 10 salmon in 2.5 hrs. It was a great overall experience and I look forward to returning.moreless
- Louis204 9/25/2019Natural Born Predator We went out with Captain Chris on the Predator. I would absolutely recommend Oasis Alaska Charters and Chris!! Great time, Great Music, (Of course me and the fiance stopped on the way to the boat and grabbed a 12 pack along with the sandwiches we snuck off our cruise ship - Oasis told us where to go when we booked for the beer). Captain Chris was high energy and all about keeping positive vibes and celebrating every fish caught as if it was the first one!! We definitely decided to ship everything we caught home. It is alot LESS expensive than we thought it would be. Nothing better than eating what you catch, especially when it's Alaskan Salmon!! There are only specific charters that will accept 2 people, and this is one of them. Moremoreless244tamaraw 8/01/2023Awesome Great charter. We had a blast and my 9 year old son absolutely loved it. Our captain was great. I would recomend them to everyone!moreless
- TPatillo 7/19/2018Excellent trip again!!! We had used Oasis Charters when we visited Alaska in 2016 and when we came back to Alaska again July 2018 we definitely had to use Oasis again. The whole experience was AAA rating. The captains are great and make sure you catch what you are fishing for. The office people courteous and helpful!!! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wants a great time of fishing!! I guarantee that whenever we come to Ketchikan we will definitely fish with Oasis Charters!!!morelesstripstirs 7/14/2015Way 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.moreless
- CetKara 7/27/2022Unforgettable 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.morelesstracibaskett 1/23/2015Why look further when you've found the best Fish ,Fun & the BEST TIME EVER . These guys are ROCK STARS ....we couldn't dream of going on a charter with anyone else ..moreless
- Jennifer 7/14/2015The Best Fishing Experience Ever! We decided to book our fishing trip outside of the cruise because it was a little cheaper. Booking the trip was seamless and secure. Mark made sure to commuincate everthing I needed prior to the trip before I even had to ask him. Once we got to the dock we were directed to our fishing boat and met our captain. We had the best time ever! Caught some huge Salmon (25lbs, 19lbs, 12lbs.) Our Captain was knowledgable and very friendly. Worth every penny! Would do this again if we go to Alaska again:) I promise you will not be disappointed! I would have given this 100 star rating if possible.morelesslilycoton2013 8/14/2018Excellent Service was great,guide was great, and she was very knowledgeable and helpful, worked hard. To bad fishing wasn’t great.moreless
- ewhitney4 9/18/2018September 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.morelessKelly 7/17/2022July 2022 Salmon fishing Highly Recommend. We were on a NCL cruise and booked this independently. From planning to bringing us back to the ship on-time - excellent customer service, communication and experience.moreless
- magicfan1000 9/11/2018Great Trip We fished Captain Marie and Deckhand Megan's last charter of the summer. They were very professional, I think we caught more salmon than any boat I saw that morning. We had some first time fishermen and they were very patient and helpful. I would recommend this company to anyone interested.morelessAdme014 9/21/2016Fish 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. Thanksmoreless
- kelpcruiser 9/28/2016Last trip of the season 092316 Expected the fishing to be slower this late in the season and only fishing about 4 hours because have to get back to the cruise ship. Fishing was awsome, only went 1/4 mile from slip and only covered one small area which we shared with whales and bald eagles the whole time. We caught 5 fish and had many more bites. If that is slow I will take it any day. We told the lady cab driver we would get her a filet and we did-she was really happy. We didn't ship any fish because would have to have lots more meat to make it worth while. Our captain Mark really knows the fishery up there. I am going to do a full day and target Halibut with him on our next charter. I have my own boat in San Diego and have been fishing bluefin tuna all summer and this was a great change of pace. Best part was I didn't have to clean the boat when we got back to the dock.morelessbilly_chapman3 7/10/2017Great day of fishing Thomas was very knowledgeable about the area, the techniques, and the conditions that would catch us fish. Worth every penny to have an experienced guide rather than try to go it alone. It turned out to be the highlight of my entire group's trip. I emailed owners with a couple of questions before the trip and within a few minutes had a return call with answers and more information.moreless
- easterday1614 8/02/2016Oasis fishing is the best🐟 Fabulous and well organized. It was our 11 year old's birthday and Oasis didn't disappoint. Great captain. Caught salmon and halibutmorelessMaria 3/09/2015Great Operation! We fished with Oasis Alaska Charters and had a great time! The boat was clean and the Captain was very professional. We caught plenty of fish on our 4 hour trip and had them processed. I would recommend Oasis Alaska Charters if you are planning a trip to Ketchikan.moreless
- O9060KXjeffd 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.moreless
- Roam817332 9/22/2018Salmon charter Murray our guide met us right as we arrived at Clover Pass Resort and we were on the water in a short time. We were graced by an unusually gorgeous late September day- bright warm sun and little wind. We were told fishing hadn’t been great for a good part of the season due to lack of rain. We had our 1st bite about 45 minutes into the trip, a beautiful Coho about 12 lbs. We ended up boating about 8 total, 3 nice ones, the biggest about 14 lbs, with a few other misses on our 4 hour trip. All in all a great experience with Murray and we would do it again for sure!morelessHoward 7/12/2019great experience spent 2 1/2 days fishing with Chris - the whole company is first rate - friendly, accommodating, very interested in providing a top notch experience; although we were scheduled for an 8 hour trip we actually fished for over 10 hours as there was no pressure to return at a certain time; willing to go wherever necessary to find fish - plan to go back next year and will definitely use these folksmoreless
- djmiller206 7/30/2018Another great fishing excursion! Second year of using Oasis Alaska Charters with Capt. Murray and he again put us on great fishing.

This Charter was very well organized and efficient from the very beginning to the end of the trip. I am a planner and they communicated everything to me through emails and answered any questions I had. Everyone involved with the charter were absolutely awesome and very knowledgable. A definite must if your searching that ultimate fishing charter experience.
I have to give a HUGE shout out to Captain Murray. He shared my motivation for catching fish and he found them!!!!moreless - firegod62 8/11/2021An 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. …morelesschrismcb04 7/23/2018Awesome 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.moreless
- Sandy 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!morelesspoppy23Seattle 7/20/2022Ketchikan Salmon Everything went well for our group of five fishermen! Great 4-hour excursion with spectacular scenery. Would definitely use Oasis again. Appreciated having Hunter to guide us to fish! Look forward to returning soon.moreless
- TANIA 7/29/2016You'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!!morelessjohn 5/14/2015First 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.moreless
- Baskett1964 8/21/2022Amazing 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 .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 wellIn 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 AlexisFor an awesome trip. Yes , you got me hooked (pardon the pun) and hope to plan a two day trip this summermoreless - Kflynt 6/26/2018Awesomeeee!!!!!

We caught a ton of fish (salmon, halibut, lings, true cod, sea bass), had a lot of great laughs, and we all really enjoyed the entire experience. We highly recommend family and friends to book a fishing trip with Oasis Alaska Charters. Hunter is a first-class Captain and is very knowledgeable about fishing. He is also very passionate about what he does and it showed. Next trip we will for sure book with Oasis Alaska Charters with Captain Hunter! Thank you again for the experience and great memories!moreless

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.moreless

- esalinas647 8/26/2020Amazing 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?morelessMecs2014 6/18/2019Last 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!!!!! Moremoreless - pastortomccag 8/27/2018Great Fishing! Captain Murray put us on the salmon within 20 minutes.

We signed up for a 3day 8hour fish. we found this duration to be just right for our first time. Don't do less than 8 hour trip. The scenery is wonderful. Might see a whale or two.Their operation is top notch. Joanne and Mark make sure you are receiving a first class experience . Our guide Captain Murray was super handling 3 neophytes. He made sure we.got on fish and he was very helpful at putting each of at ease. Oasis boats and equipment are top of the line. I guess all I can say now is we are going to do this again.

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.

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! Moremoreless
- jaimieldelong 9/17/2018GREAT Experience We had an amazing time with our Captain Murray! The salmon were a little slow but we did catch a few Kings, a yellow eyed rockfish and a number of rockfish. The overall experience was awesome! We had a great time and even got to see humpback whales. We would definitely book with them again.morelessNathan 9/11/2020Another successful charter with Oasis This is a great little charter company. They have a good website full of information and make booking and paying for everything easy. This is my second charter with Oasis and also the second time out with Captain Murray. Capt. Murray is a great guy, full of hustle and always on the fish. He has a great network of fellow Captains to draw from but I think they mostly draw from him. The re-power on their boat has made it a perfect charter boat for fishing and when the Chaos hits with 3 and 4 on at a time their is ample room for you and the Captain to get the job done. Please give these guys a call or take a peek at their website and get booked and enjoy your fishing trip. This review is from someone who has used several charter operations over the years in Alaska but this is the only one I have used and ever will use in Ketchikan.moreless

Guides were very friendly and knowledgeable
Most importantly we caught fish!morelessDreamer09029163867 6/21/2019FISH 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.moreless - islandgal206 2/18/2015Best 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.morelesscdcrandall 7/22/2019Dad 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 salmonmoreless
- georgen696 6/19/2020Great 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.moreless73cathiec 7/27/2017Above 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 Chupkamoreless
- egiovanola 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!!morelessLightPacker559414 8/11/2019Salmon 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.moreless
- Jason 8/26/2021Great 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. …morelesspatchcs 9/22/2019September 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!moreless
- JessJazz 7/08/2021Fun 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! …morelessPioneer14713007684 6/23/2019Halibut Galore We had an awesome fishing trip, catching our maximum number of Halibut allowed.

- cesarpnc 7/09/2020Amazing fishing trip We booked a 2 day fishing trip with oasis Alaska charters and it was the best decision on this trip! From the day we booked online we got a call to confirm and customer service was beyond what we expected. We got to fish with captain Murray and he knows his stuff. Very friendly and patient. We had our limits on salmon and halibut by 930am and spend the rest of the day rock fishing! Thank you oasis!morelessMrsCJStone 6/30/2015Amazing I went on the ship, "not being a fisher".

- arvidpeterson 8/25/2019Fishing 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). MoremorelessSATexas04 8/11/2015Salmon fishing Captain Mike was amazing! In a four hour trip we caught and kept 19 fish!

- Gerald 8/17/2021Oasis Full Day Fished one day with Hunter and another day with Murray. Both were full day charters and we did great with both captains.

Excellent captains. …morelessSem95 8/23/2018Low on fish, high on enjoyment Bad day of fishing is still better than almost any other day. Capt murray supergood guy. Helpful and funnymoreless
- Barbara2012 9/13/2019Amazing 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!morelesskorinadrainsrus 7/08/2019Awesome family experiance Our family had 9 total on the boats, each guide was amazing and made a memory of a lifetime for our family. It was a blessing, and a blast. We caught so many fish, the shipping was easy and painless, the fish was great beer battered and fried next we are trying fish tacos with the halibut. We definitely recommend this company to anyone out there who wants to fish.moreless

- stevebec2014 7/19/2018Fishing on Friday the 13th! We met Capt. Marie earlier than our scheduled time, and she was ready to take us fishing. We began the morning looking for salmon, and found a nice silver. We then went to some deeper water searching for halibut, and got one there too. On the way back, we trolled again for salmon, and got another really nice silver. Marie was very good, knew her stuff, and was quite personable. I would recommend both Oasis and Capt Marie.morelessjgilbert2264 7/31/2018A 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.moreless
