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
morelessExtraordinary569407 7/15/2023Breathtaking Views and a Great Captain Really nice charter trip for our family. Our boat captain, Hunter, was very knowledgeable and did a great job. While we didn't catch a lot of fish, we had a wonderful time and the scenery was breathtaking. We would definitely do this again.

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

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!
morelessjgl2018 1/03/2018Overall great experience From ages 11-55 all enjoyed the fishing excursion. Caught lots of fish, saw whales and eagles. Would recommend

salmon fishing Great trip- the captain and first mate (Logan and Earl) were knowledgable, hospitable and overall great! Our 7 and 8 year old kids had a great time. Highly recommend this company
morelessC3066XBjaya 7/26/2021Salmon 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.moreless - Louis 9/25/2019
Natural 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.
morelesskll53 8/08/2018Ketchikan with Thomas We had a blast. We were so busy with the bites that our 4 hours just disappeared. We caught a great variety - sharks, cod, halibut, rock fish and a skate. Thomas was a fun captain.

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!
morelessBrian 7/28/20241/2 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

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
moreless - StewnDaph 9/13/2019
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!
morelessDarrinhw 5/26/2018Captain chris put us right on the fish! Spent all day on the water early in the season and found it all. Prizes for the day were a halibut and yellowtail snapper which we ate for dinner. Awesome to support local family owned business doing it the right way -DJ
moreless - gengisghandi 9/14/2019
Excellent fishing charter The charter was very professional, and catered to our every need. Fishing was good, and our captain knew his business very well. We were even able to have our fish cleaned, packaged, and sent home.
morelesshallen777 6/07/2019Halibut Fishing 23 May 2019 Boat was well maintained, clean and operated flawlessly in ruff seas. Captain knows fishing period (i have been fishing 60+ years). Enjoyable 4 hours. Boated 3 Halibut - all under 7 pounds, 6 Turbot and a Rat fish - the highlight.
moreless - Andrea 6/26/2015
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%!
morelessLeisa 6/27/2017Fantastic fishing trip! Wow! We had a terrific morning fishing with Murray as our captain . We went out exactly on time, the boat was very clean, and there were plenty of poles . Murray wanted all of us to catch fish so he kept changing The bait until he found was was working today. Excellent day and I highly recommend Oasis.
moreless - ToddE804 8/15/2023
Top 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.
morelesslilreep2000 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.moreless - Randy 9/01/2017
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.
morelessdeannahammons 9/18/2019Alaska 2019 James was an excellent driver and guide for our trip in Alaska. He was very informative and professional. I would highly recommend this tour!
moreless - Cory 7/07/2023
Family Salmon Fishing in Ketchikan The team at Oasis hosted a great fishing experience for our family. We had a range of ages from 11 to 80 and a mix of inexperienced and experienced anglers. Murray, our guide, handled our group professionally while being entertaining and best of all he tried hard to put us on as much fish as possible. Pickup and drop-off from the cruise terminal was easy. Definitely recommend a trip with Oasis.
morelessKaren 8/23/2024Excellent Fishing Charter! Highly recommend!! From start to finish dealing with Mark and Joanne was an absolute pleasure. They made organizing my group so easy. The charter was great. My group thoroughly enjoyed themselves and Hunter and Josh were outstanding captains. We booked this direct through Oasis vs the Cruise line and we are very pleased we did so! Highly recommend!! Bonus.. we caught a ton of fish and had the best time!
moreless - arvidpeterson 8/25/2019
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
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!
moreless - A6963CIchadb 8/22/2019
Great experience! Every aspect of the trip was top notch. We showed up early and so did the captain and we got a 30 minute early start! Caught 7 quick pink salmon for fresh bait and the cooler box and we were off for halibut fishing. We caught so many variety of fish it was hard to keep track. We finished the 4 hour trip with a great mixed bag of fish. The captain was great, the boat was well equipped and clean. I'd recommend to anyone.
morelesserinnels0n 7/27/20173 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.

Best trip ever we will be back. My trip was the most incredible fishing trip ever. Mike had me who just about had a full blown asthma attack after hauling him my halibut and another person who is pretty crippled up and he took great care of us. His main focus was fish and he got us into the fish even the day where the weather was pretty tough. But he also knew I had a passion for photography and gave me opportunities for great shots of porpoises, whales and the best eagle shots I have gotten in my life.
morelesshstaple2n 8/09/2017Bucket list fishing!!! My wife and i just returned from our Ketchikan trip and WOW! what a surprise! We only had couple days in Ketchikan so we decided to go fishing with Alaska oasis charters.We figured it would be nice to bring home some salmon and maybe a Halibut, at worst get to see the beautiful scenery by boat. Our Captain was Murray and the boat was the Reel Oasis.The weather was beautiful and the fishing was CRAZY!!! Limits both days! I will say we got lucky with the weather but not the fishing. These guys were super confident we would catch fish and knew every spot and method to get it done. definitely a Bucket list trip! Thanks to everyone at Alaska Oasis Charters. Marlin S.
moreless - Adrienne 6/06/2017
Better than cruise ship excursion We heard that through the cruise ship excursions, you could have 6 guests and only 4 lines, so decided to go private for our salmon fishing charter. This did mean we had to spend ~$40 each way for the taxi, but got to see some of the town between and had opportunity to stop for beer. We were there this first week of June and were unfortunate with significant rain for most of our time on the water; however, I am proud to say we caught 1 rockfish and 1 king salmon. One interesting thing to note is when you book, it is sounds like good odds of getting some fish, and then on board it becomes much less unlikely… so temper your expectations, and maybe negotiate for a low season rental rate. Our guide Thomas was helpful, kind and knowledgeable, and the dock crew helped slice and send our fish home to enjoy. We would recommend this group and would use them again.
morelesstimmcgnch 8/28/2019Fishing 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.

morelessPaul 8/09/2022Awesome 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!
moreless - Alyson 6/24/2022
True Alaskan Experience! We booked the 4 hour salmon fishing charter, and we are so glad we did! This trip was everything we had hoped for and more! From the moment we stepped off the cruise ship and Oasis Alaska Charters picked us up, to the moment they dropped us back off, everything was seamless. We caught lots of fish, including king salmon, saw 2 pods of Orcas, and even had a bald Eagle swoop in to try to steal our catch! Murry, our captain, was amazing, knowledgeable, and so great with the kids. When we returned to the dock, they quickly had it arranged to have our fish processed and shipped home to us. Definitely the fishing trip of a lifetime and one we will not soon forget! We highly recommend Oasis Alaska Charters!!!
morelessedteel 9/21/2016Had a great time My son and I just flew to Ketchikan on a wild hair and went fishing. Had a great time. Fishing wasn't great that day, but the captain worked very hard and we managed to bring home quite a bit of fish. I will go back again some day

The 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!!
morelessCetin 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.

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.
morelessjim 7/27/2016Great 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!

Awesome, Excellent, Fantastic and Action Packed! This was my first time in Alaska and my first time Salmon and Halibut fishing from a boat. I learned a lot very quickly with the help and patience of Captain Murray. I don't have anything else to go off of, but we were the only ones rolling in with full limits. Captain Murray and the well equipped boat, the "Reel Therapy", was the perfect combo. Captain Murray kept in contact with other guides and was always actively looking for the "hot spot". Words can't explain the excitement when the four of us in the group all had salmon on at the same time on two different occasions and we landed them all. Captain Murray was working hard netting all the salmon and sometimes netting two at the same time, incredible! You will not be disappointed with Oasis, they are proactive, work hard and have excellent gear. Thanks for the great experience and we will be back.
morelessMaria 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.

Amazing Alaskan Fishing Experience What an amazing experience - really made out trip to Alaska memorable! Everything was so easy to schedule and coordinate, Mark and JoAnn we fantastic to work with. Our Captain, Hunter, was awesome! Super friendly, extremely knowledgeable, and he put us on the fish! Afterwards, they were great at helping us with getting our catch processed so we could take it home. Really made for a perfect day. I would 100% do this again and recommend it to anyone considering it. Even beyond catching fish, just being on the boat out in Alaskan waters was incredible on its own. Beautiful! …
morelesslisbX4826JK 7/11/2023Great fishing experience Fabulous experience. There were 6 of us, 3 nonfisher-persons. We had a lot of fun. I do with there was a bit more instruction. We didn't really know how to hold the poles correctly, but after a bit of instruction from someone else on the boat,we were good to go. The fish were biting like crazy. Would highly recommend.

Last Minute Charter- June 12 Excellent trip with Captain Murray. Caught our limit of halibut, rockfish, and lingcod.
Called when we got to Ketch and they had a 6 hour afternoon spot. It was a perfect time of day for us and it worked out great.
My only word of advice is if YOU'RE NOT staying at the Clover Pass Resort and YOU'RE NOT already booked through a cruise ship make arrangements to hire a taxi, or ride the bus when it's running with enough time to make your trip. We were NOT On a cruise ship so it took a little more coordination on our part to get out to Clover Pass resort on our end BUT nothing that would preclude us from booking again or hinder you from getting there.
5 star operation!!!!!moreless534jeffu 6/03/2022Great 1/2 day charter From inquiring to booking to fishing, Oasis Alaska knocked it out of the park. Joann and Mark were easy to work with and the communication was top notch.

great 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 folks

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.

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.......

Caught our limit and then some On 8/7/21 we were blessed to get, El Capitán, Hunter as our guide. THE Hunter helped us get 12 silver (Coho) salmon, 12 pink salmon, and 2 bass. We could have caught more (and if the Hunter got his way we would have), but we didn't have the freezer space. Hunter, the fish whisperer, is a cool Hawaiian boy who grew up fishing in Hawaii. I've never met anyone as passionate about fishing and determined to help you get your moneys worth! He is extremely competitive, committed, and hard working.
The whole staff is amazing! The owner picked up our fish and brought it to the airport because we were both headed to the airport. They were willing to accommodate us on short notice and they went above and beyond to help us. I can't rave enough about our experience!
TAKE THE SHUTTLE OFFER!! Taking a taxi is about $50-$60.morelessMark 8/24/2018Amazing fishing trip We travelled to Ketchikan for the sole purpose of a once in a lifetime fishing trip.

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.

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.morelessJenifer 8/03/2023Amazing 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.
moreless - chris 7/08/2024
Absolutely the best fishing experience we've ever had. This Trip was a great experience for my son and I, the most important thing for use was the fact that this was a private charter, it was just the two of us. You'd be hard pressed to find another company doing that. We each caught a keeper King Salmon (29" and 30") . We caught and released several other Kings as well. Our Captain Josh got us on the fish right away, boating out first King less than 10 minutes after dropping the down riggers. Everybody that asks my son what was the best part of our Alaskan cruise gets the answer "fishing" so I think this trip is a trip he'll remember for the rest of his life which was exactly what I was hoping it would be....Thanks to all at Oasis Alaskan Charters for creating that memory for us.
morelessrosiecran 2/20/2015Fun Fun Fun Charter? If you tried the rest now try the best, Oasis Charters. My husband and I are seniors and had the time of our life. We were treated wonderful, limited out every day and saw all the wildlife Ketchikan has to offer. We have already booked our trip with them for next season. GO, you will love it!
moreless - LovetheIslands7 7/16/2019
112 pounds of fish!!! Sometimes you just want to get away with some friends, get out on a boat and fish until you’ve had your fill!
I planned a four day getaway with the husband and 5 friends to Ketchikan. I called months in advance as I’d heard things fill up quickly. After calling several companies, I opted for Oasis because of the stellar customer service and reasonable prices. JoAnn answered all of my questions and even made recommendations. It was a wonderful experience.
The first day was an all-day salmon and halibut trip with Captain Murray. We caught the limit!
We had such a good time, we decided to return the next day for a half-day halibut trip with Captain Thomas. Once again, we caught our limit!
In total, after all of the fish was processed and filleted, we came home with 112 pounds of halibut, pacific cod, coho (silver) salmon, yelloweye rockfish, and silvergrey rockfish.
It was a perfect trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better time! Moremorelesstripstirs 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.

Great salmon fishing trip! Our family had a wonderfully successful fishing trip on Oasis Alaska Charters, with the friendly and able guidance of Captain Thomas. We caught 17 salmon on a beautiful summer day in Ketchikan!
morelessTechman12313 7/19/20186 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.

The Best!!!! We had the best time!!!! Would highly recommend this Charter! Would use them again! Our captain was excellent and very knowledgeable!!!
morelessWanderer53820575552 8/30/2024Awesome!!! 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!

Probably a Good Charter Co. The weather turned bad the day of our chater, and the boat captain only informed us it would be terrible for fishing after we left the dock. Would have liked the opportunity to reschedule. Caught one salmon. A $700 salmon.
morelessGatoragr 7/25/2022What a day! What a great day! My wife and I went fishing with Capt. Drew and had one of the best days ever! Caught our limit in an hour and a half! Drew told me to be sure to tell people that it doesn't always work out that way haha. Mark picked us up from the boat on time and delivered us to the dock. I highly recommend Oasis Alaska Charters!

Awesome Fishing Trip with Oasis Alaska Charters in Ketchikan We had a blast the 3 days out fishing with Captain Hunter. 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!
morelessftdock 7/31/2021We 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.

Awesome 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!
morelessLauren 6/03/2024Highly Recommend! This fishing trip was amazing! The boat ride out to the fishing spot was very beautiful and once we were settled, we saw some whales and even had a bald eagle pay us a visit! Hunter was an amazing captain, we caught 3 halibut and even when the biting was slow, Hunter kept us in high spirits - he is super friendly and knowledgeable!

Great Experience! As many other travelers, we were on a cruise. We booked this trip on our own and had a great time. My boys had a blast. Unfortunately, we did not have any luck with the salmon. My husband caught one, but it was a couple of inches too short. Our captain was great & made it fun for our boys!
morelessKeith 6/27/2023Halibut and Salmon half day trip. our trip was fantastic. From pick up off ship our driver told us all about the town. we saw a bunch of bald eagles along the way. Our captain Hunter put us right on the fish. My wife and I had 6 halibut in less than an hour but since we could only keep one each he took us to another spot. There we jigged and caught Ling cod.After that we trolled and caught king salmon ang one Cohoes. 4hours of action and had fish shipped to arrive home when we get there. Highly recommend oasis charters!

My best charter in Ketchikan Absolutely wonderful charter with oasis. We had captain Murray for two long range fishing trips, he was patient and funny and worked his ass off to get us on fish. I've used several different charters in prior years but oasis was a family affair and you felt it. Mark and JoAnn are wonderful people who will go out of their way to make sure you have a great time, DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK WITH OASIS. …
morelessSATexas04 8/11/2015Salmon fishing Captain Mike was amazing! In a four hour trip we caught and kept 19 fish! Couldn't have been a better trip! I highly recommend Oasis Charters!

Fun times Nice clean boat, friendly captain, good Ketchikan weather, what else can you ask for? The fishing was a little quiet, guess it's not a great season up there this summer, but I guess that just means we have to go back up next summer!
morelessT7977WEgeraldg 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. Weather was bad on the day with Hunter so we were unable to go for halibut but we limited on coho salmon. Weather was better with Murray and we limited on both salmon and halibut. Excellent captains.

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!!! …
morelessMamad19 9/16/2019Great 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

Ketichan Fisihng Our Captain, Murray, did his best to show us a great time. He used every trick in the book to help us catch fish, but to no avail. One was big enough to keep, one didn't meet the criteria and the other 4 hadn't reach puberty yet. Beautiful scenery, a good time, but not the best fishing.
morelessMichael 9/21/2017Great day of Salmon fishing My wife and I chartered a trip with Capt. Desmond and we were thoroughly impressed with the entire operation . Des put us on the silver salmon and we caught our limit plus two large pink salmon! We had 52 lbs of fillets shipped home and a ton of great memories!We will be back to give Halibut fishing a try next time!

Amazing Day of Fishing I can not say enough about your amazing day of fishing with Captain Murray. We were on a cruise and decided the Ketchikan stop we would go fishing. We booked the charter in advanced. Upon arriving in Ketchikan we had Sourdough taxi take us to the charter. We were met by Joann at the dock and introduced to Captain Murray. Captain Murray did a great job at letting us know what to expect and was very helpful. The boat was clean and the equipment was in excellent condition. He had us on fish in no time and the next (4) hours just flew by. We all had a lot of fun and hope to return for another day of fishing 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 Alaskamorelessretgunnyusmc 9/27/2016INCREDIBLE FISHING EXPERIENCE Oasis Alaska Charters recently hosted a group of Disabled Veterans from Purple Heart Anglers. The treatment was superb, and the gear and boats are first rate. The Captains, Matt and Murray, are extremely qualified anglers and get you on some incredible fishing. Their skills ensured everyone on-board experienced what Alaska salmon fishing should be. The owner Mark Andrew and his wife made sure our experience was "first class". Any future trips to Ketchikan will definitely include a few days with Oasis Alaska Charters. Chuck, Gunnery Sergeant, USMC (Retired).

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.
morelessEnzo4444 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 folks
moreless - chrismcb04 7/23/2018
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.
morelessLouis204 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.
