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.

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

great 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

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

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!!! …

Amazing fishing! Amazing! So many fish, such professional staff! They make sure all you do is fish and have a blast! Even the kids got to reel a bunch in.

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

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%!

Great Time Fishing In Ketchikan My wife, kids and I went out for a 6 hour salmon trip with Captain Hunter. Best captain in the 3 times we have gone to Alaska. Great with kids, easy going, incredibly knowledgeable of the are and had us catching fish the whole time. I know for many going to Alaska is all about the fish count. For us it is more about the experience and being on the water in such a beautiful place. We would have enjoyed this trip even if our fish count was not so high and that says a lot about the area and the Captain. Fishing gear was top of the line, boat was very nice, especially for the area with an indoor area to sit and then a large fishing platform. After we finished processing our catch was a breeze. They come right to the boat and take care of it from there. We now have a freezer full of fresh Alaskan Silver Salmon. We highly recommend this charter service. I know Hunter and the other captains of this group were also working as a team communicating with each-other over the radio trying to get everyone fish on all of their boats. So even if you don't get Captain Hunter, I am positive you will have a great day on the water from the Team Work I saw throughout the day.

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

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

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.

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

Great time Had a great time fishing with Oasis Charters. Everything was top notch from JoAnn picking us up at the cruise dock to the great day of fishing with Hunter. I highly recommend.

Amazing So glad I found this company to take us fishing while we were in port on a cruise. They were amazing and took us to spots where we would catch hailbut and salmon. We also cought rick fish, black cod and even a shark. For the life of me I can’t remember our captains name but she was a girl! She was amazing. The fish sure kept he busy the whole 4hrs. If I wasn’t pulling one 1 my husband was. She made sure we had an amazing time!!!

Grand Slam Oasis Alaska Charters!!! Captain Desmond provided the two of us with the experience of a lifetime. I highly recommend being on a smaller boat which gives you a 360* view of the stunning islands of Alaska. I saw the best whale bubble feeding view which lasted hours. So sooo cool! They came 20’ from the boat. I feel very few people get that experience and is something I will never forget.
Captain Desmond is very knowledgeable of where to catch the fish and we went to private areas not widely known by the other charter boats. He had the boat ready to go so we stepped in and we were off. The boat is very clean and easy to move around. The inside has a bathroom and an area to sit down if you need a break from the countless fish you’re gonna catch!
All of their boats are great depending on what you want to fish for. Special thanks to owners Joanne and Mark for delivering a fabulous Labor Day weekend fishing adventure!!!

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.

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. Over all Mark and his wife are very friendly and knowledgeable and I recommend this charter company to everyone!

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.

Great day fishing Ketchikan! Chris was our guide and captain! Seas were big so he worked hard to put us on the fish in some calmer waters so we could enjoy our time on the boat! He did a great job on our 4 hr charter helping each of us boat fish while talking about the local area. We saw whales close to the boat on several occasions adding to our adventure. The marina location put us on the fishing spots quickly and gave us options to duck out of the swell on the lea side of several islands. Great trip!

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.

Ketchikan 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.

Great fishing We had a great time in Alaska with Oasis Alaska Charters and Captain Thomas taking a half day halibut cruise. Even though we didn't catch any halibut, we caught our limit of Rockfish - the ugliest fish we've ever seen with one catch 4 ounces off the state record! It was processed and sent home for delicious eating and a wonderful remembrance of our time. Captain Thomas was friendly, easy-going and fun. We highly recommend a tour and would encourage making it a whole day tour..

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

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.

Charter fishing trip Captain Murray besides being an outstanding captain and "fish getter" was a hoot, He provided a very safe and friendly experience. He put us on the fish and never stopped looking for bigger and better fish. The boat was very comfortable and was set up well for fishing with four people. Captain Ron, you rock!

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.

Awesome Fishing Trip Captain Murray was awesome! We caught our limit on Halibut, then caught some salmon. An eagle hovered above our boat and we were able to get some great photos.

We signed up for the shuttle and they picked us up at our cruise ship. Any time I had questions, I was able to send them a text and they got right back to me.

An Awesome Trip with a Great Company If you're considering a salmon/halibut/bottom fish trip look at Oasis. JoAnn and Mark run a great operation and the price was reasonable for me and my two brothers. JoAnn responds to emails quickly. Three days of fishing got us three hundred pounds of processed fish. You have to pay for the processing at something like $2.50 a pound. Captain Maury was our guide on a 30+ foot boat. He was friendly and very knowledgeable. He does smoke, which didn't bother me since I brought cigars. He was patient and allowed us to do as much as we wanted. I have similar downriggers to those on the boat so he had no problem with us rigging our own lines. It saved time when the fishing was hot - which was often. The boat was clean and the gear worked fine. Having a head (bathroom) was nice since you're out all day. The first day was a little choppy but the boat was pretty stable and balance wasn't a problem. There is a large cabin if the weather turns bad or while you're under way. The dock crew that unloads the fish and processes it were a group of young people that were uniformly friendly and helpful. I asked them to process one fish while we were unloading to give to the taxi driver and they had it done in 10 minutes at no additional charge. they'll also take all the photos you want of your trophy fish. The taxi from the Landing hotel was a flat $50. If you use Sourdough Taxi ask for Carl. He took us to and from the dock every day. He was friendly and On Time - even for our 5:30 am pick ups. I left a separate review for the Landing Hotel on this site if you're interested. …

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.

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

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

Another 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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Alaska 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!

Fishing and so much more. This exceeded our expectations for a 4 hour charter. We were constantly catching fish the entire trip. Great views and lots of other wildlife encounters; Eagles, Whales, and sealions.

Very Good They were great, we had a wonderful time! They took care of all of it to get shipped back to us. I really hope to make it back to them!

Not as successful as I hoped Didn't catch anything.. Captain relatively new to area. Water was kinda rough that afternoon. Perhaps afternoons are not best for salmon fishing.

Amazing Experience Bucket list trip which left the three of us in awe of the experience. Hunter was the consummate captain/guide. Everything was beyond our expectations.

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

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.

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

Awesome! We had such a great experience. Limiting out on several different species of fish. Murray aka “Captain Rob” was awesome!

Tough conditions..but our captain worked hard to get us into some fish We hit a day on the water where the weather changed from a several day period of calm water and low 70s ambient air temps to a high in the low 50s, with sustained 20 mile an hour winds and rain, sometimes sideways, for the entire day. All of that said - our captain got us into some salmon and halibut and initiated entertaining conversation n between the fish. Well run org.

A Trip to Remember My fiancé and I went to Ketchikan to fish and we used Oasis Alaska Charters last summer. We were stunned by the scenery of soaring eagles, whales, and the amount of fish we brought in each day. Before leaving Ketchikan, we had already planned to come back the following year to experience this same adventure again; we truly had the time of our lives!

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

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

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

Low on fish, high on enjoyment Bad day of fishing is still better than almost any other day. Capt murray supergood guy. Helpful and funny

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 & Sue

Outstanding company, ownership and Captains. As the President of Purple Heart Anglers I can honestly say this company is "World Class". We caught fish, laughed and had a great trip. Our disabled veterans were treated with respect and honored for their service. Captain Murray is a top notch Captain and fisherman and it was our pleasure to be with him. Doesn't get any better than Oasis Alaska Charters.

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!

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

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

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.

Halibut heaven What a great experience! Skylar put us on Halibut right away! Left time for Kings! Unfortunately they were slow today but Skylar did everything he could to put us on fish. Definitely had a great time and would return!

Deap sea charter We had booked for two days in late July. We were out with Murray. We had a great time. We caught lots of fish and Murrsy was a pleasure to be out with.

Not a very good experience! Oasis Fishing Charters Review – July 18, 2024 Reviews like this are not easy to write, it is not my intent to damage the reputation of a company or captain, but it is also necessary to let other potential customers know of our experience. Chartering a salmon fishing boat is often a once in a lifetime opportunity so choosing an outfitter is an important decision. We scheduled a 4 hour, private salmon fishing charter for 4 people in mid July. The communication with the company during the reservation process and leading up to the day of the charter was outstanding. They replied to emails quickly and always answered our questions. We also scheduled our transportation from the cruise ship dock to the charter boat through Oasis and that was a good experience. Mel was our shuttle driver, and he was pleasant and knowledgeable about the area. This was the best part of our day. He arrived at the cruise ship on time, delivered us to the boat, was waiting for us after the charter, and returned us to the cruise ship on time. When we arrived at the dock our charter captain took us to the boat. Our captain was pleasant and knowledgeable about fishing, but he wasn’t a good host or instructor. The captain did not have a deck hand and was responsible for all aspects of the charter. We were given no introduction or any type of instruction to make our day enjoyable. The boat was small for 4 people, both in the cabin and on the deck and we had to figure out where to stand and what to do on our own. We only had two rods in the water most of the time for four people but there wasn’t enough room on the boat for more than two active rods. I would like to think that there were life jackets on the boat for all of us, but we were never made aware of where they might have been stored. We were told that drinking water would be available on the charter and the captain helped himself to a bottle of water, but we were never offered any water. There was a box of snacks on the cabin table, but we were never offered any. The web site states that there is a bathroom on the boat, and we did see a toilet but we had no idea if we could use it or how to use it if needed. Our captain smoked on the boat and chewed tobacco as well. He was spitting off the side of the boat and he had a spit bottle he used in the cabin of the boat. He only smoked one cigarette but chewed tobacco throughout the trip. Our captain answered question when asked, but he didn’t really seem interested in providing a good experience for us. I think he just wanted to get the 4 hours over with. We did catch a few fish but had to quiz our captain on what kind of fish we were catching and how to identify the different species of salmon. He was quick at the end of the cruise to make sure he received payment! In my opinion, I would consider a different Salmon Charter.

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

Great trip again This was our second time fishing with Oasis. It was probably the worst fishing that I have experienced in Alaska, but it definitely was no fault of Oasis or Capt. Chris.
The weather just turned bad and the seas were pretty rough.
Chris tried hard to get us on some good fishing. I think he really went overboard to try and get us lots of fish, but it just wasn't the day for it.
We brought fish home, but not near as much as usual or as we would have liked, but it was still a great and fun adventure.
Id recommend Oasis to anyone.

Would book this again in a heartbeat!! What a fantastic experience we had with Oasis! We had a group of six salmon fishing with Drew. He was very attentive and helped us get our limit of pink salmon in just two hours. We would 100% book this trip again!!! Thank you, Oasis, for a wonderful time!

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

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.

SO 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!

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

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!!

Great trip Captain worked hard to find us fish. Although we didn’t succeed with the fishing it was a great trip.

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

Fishing Trip in Ketchikan Family Fishing Trip to Oasis Alaska Charters was literally Off the hook. Terrific experience from the get go. Taxi ride was easy, and the whole outfit was the epitome of professionalism. Captain Logan was excellent. We caught at least 18 good size salmon. I would book this trip again in a heartbeat.

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. I would highly recommend this charter group to anyone interested in this sort of excursion! I'm already beginning to plan my next trip!

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

All around best experience ever everything about this trip was amazing! From JoAnn helping with the arrangements and shuttle, to Captain Murray putting us on all the fish! The weather was sunny all day, and if the fish weren't biting immediately, he took us to a spot where they did. We had 6 people and our friends were on another boat with 5 ppl. We beat them, with a whopping 28 salmon!! The processing was easy and 120 pounds of salmon showed up on my doorstep the day after we returned to Austin. We will all be back (a couple of us wanted to stay). Thanks again!

Great fishing trip! Had a blast with my wife, father, and father in-law. I highly recommend fishing with Oasis Alaska Charters!

Highlight of the Summer! Myself and two friends decided to celebrate our college graduation by traveling to Ketchikan and doing a bit of fishing. We booked a full day of fishing with Oasis Alaskan Charters. Our captain, Captain Matt, was a character that was both entertaining and educational. Not only did he put us on the fish, we passed the slow time by listening to his "stories" and ocean adventures. In addition, he told us of the activities that there were to do on the island along with Ketchikan's nightlife and local bars(as any worthy captain should be able to do).As for fish we hit our limit of Halibut with in 2 hours and after that began tossing them back. We also limited on Rockfish and caught more then enough Ling Cod. We didn't catch any salmon but that was because we were still early in the season. In addition to the fish, we saw more bald eagles then we could count and a pod of humpback whales passed by the docks right before we departed. For a once in a lifetime experience in Ketchikan, Alaska I highly urge you to seek out Oasis Charters! Ask for Captain Matt!

Breathtaking Beauty and Fun! I felt like I threaded the golden needle on this fishing charter. Nonstop action on all the Rigs. Plus a Whale and it's calf jumped into the air next to our boat! Can hardly believe I was able to catch Salmon, Halibut and Cod all in one afternoon. A truly Great Alaska Experience!

Low on fish, high on enjoyment Bad day of fishing is still better than almost any other day. Capt murray supergood guy. Helpful and funny

Great 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.

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

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

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!

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

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

Great time My husband and son originally had a halibut trip booked thru our cruise line but it was cancelled. I ended up booking with Oasis Charters and they were great from the initial inquiry. They were responsive and helpful. We reserved transfers from cruise dock and the halibut charter for 2. My husband and son had a blast and both caught a halibut plus some cod. Great time had and worth every cent.

Awesome Experience for first timers! Capt. Murray was great. He was fun and patient helped our friends 7 year old catch his 1st, 2nd & 3rd Salmon. Good gear and roomy boat.

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

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

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.

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

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! …

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

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

Alaska Fishing Success! Our family traveled to Alaska by cruise ship and booked our excursion with Oasis independently. I called for a taxi from Sourdough before we got off the ship as instructed, but the cab company told us to call after disembarking. We had to wait about 20 minutes before the cab came. The fare was $35 each way plus tip (cab was not equipped to accept credit cards so be sure to bring cash.) We got to the Clover Pass Resort where we purchased our fishing licenses (anyone over 14 years is required to purchase a license and must show identification). Credit cards are accepted for fishing license purchase. We met our captain who took us to the boat. I thought there would be a bathroom on the boat but I didn't see one. The captain told us that it wasn't his usual boat. Our captain worked very hard to find fish and we caught 12 salmon! Sometimes there was activity on multiple poles at the same time which was a good problem to have but it appeared like the captain could have used a first mate because he seemed to be overwhelmed when things got busy. We returned to the dock and arranged to have our salmon processed and shipped back home. Our cab driver was waiting for us at Clover Pass at the agreed upon time and we got back to our cruise ship in plenty of time. The next week our Alaskan salmon arrived at our home and it was the best (and most expensive, but we chose to have it shipped home!) salmon we ever had. We had a very memorable fishing experience with Oasis Alaska Charters!

Absolutely beautiful weather on the water with Captain Murphy. There was never a dull moment. BEST DAY EVER!! I cannot say enough good things about Oasis Charters. From top gear, awesome customer service, friendly staff, top notch Captains and comfortable boats, it doesn't get any better than this!!!

Wonderful fishing charter experience We chartered two fishing boats for our excursion, while our cruise ship was docked in Ketchikan. We used Sourdough taxi to bring us conveniently to and from the pier. We ended up shipping our catch home through Clover Pass. I recommend Oasis highly and without reservation!
