- Jteel476 8/05/2019great guides. the guides form this charter are some of the best. They work very hard to get you on the fish no matter what.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
- norawright35 8/14/2018Halibut Fishing so disappointing and waste of money We went in Charter boat with Oasis Charters on August 6, 2018 for a halibut fishing. We had captain Cris. We had to drive a long ways like almost an hour one way. Did not catch any fish at all. For the 4 hour we had like about 2 1/2 hrs of fishing and had 2 bites. Paid a lot of money for nothing. You can’t even touch the pole or cast because the captain has to, Very disappointing. Never go to a charter boat again. If we come back we will have to do our own fishing coz it’s not worth it. Waste of money. I hope my husband will get some refund from Oasis charter Boats.morelesskevin 12/28/2017Excellent charter service Qasis charters provided us with excellent service. The boat and fishing gear were excellent and the boat captain worked his tail off to to see that we had every chance to fill our limits everyday which we did. I would not hesitate to book another fishing trip with these folks in the futuremoreless
- erikbullock 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.morelessewhitney4 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.moreless
- James 9/24/2016Outstanding Support, Outstanding Catches, Outstanding Experience! Big thanks and kudos to the entire Oasis Alaska Charters team! I was one of a dozen disabled veterans from northern and central California who participated in this year's annual fishing trip to Ketchikan, Alaska, i.e., "A Trip of a Lifetime". The trip was sponsored by Purple Heart Anglers Inc., and thoroughly enjoyed myself...as did every other participating veteran. While every facet of the trip was outstanding, especially noteworthy was our exciting and successful time on the water landing bountiful numbers of salmon, halibut, and rockfish. This was made possible by our outstanding Oasis charter boat captains, Matt and Murray, who each provided excellent leadership on their respective boats, ensuring every veteran a quality, comfortable and hands-on angling experience. I've fished on several charters before and have not seen more capable and dedicated captains than Matt and Murray. They worked hard to put and keep us on fish every moment we were on board and injected the perfect amount of fishing humor to keep us all smiling and happy throughout each of our three days under their tutelage. I hope I can return to Ketchikan soon for more fishing. If that happens, I will not hesitate to go with Oasis Alaska Charters again to ensure yet another outstanding and memorable outing. --Jim, Col, USAF (Retired)--morelessMark 8/21/2019Another full day out with captain Murray. Last year we had a full day with captain Murray and we limited out on halibut,cod and sea bass as well as a bunch of salmon. This year was more of the same as we had six of us instead of four last year. Didn’t make a difference. We all limited out on the same fish and a lot of salmon. This guide is so busy baiting hooks , netting fish ,watching the fish finder,moving back on the fish after minutes of no bites. I just can’t imagine a better guide. He does the work of three people and when you get back you know where the money was spent and it was well worth it. Captain Murray, thank you for another amazing experience!Hope to do it again next year. Mark Pate Los Angeles Californiamoreless
- Vacationer31569 12/27/2017Wonderful fishing charter experience We chartered two fishing boats for our excursion, while our cruise ship was docked in Ketchikan.

I recommend Oasis highly and without reservation!morelessandieg73 7/21/2019Great family fun Great charter service! We enjoyed our fishing trip with captain Murray!

- korinadrainsrus 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 definitely recommend this company to anyone out there who wants to fish.morelessLightPacker559414 8/11/2019Salmon and Halibut fishing I took my 2 teenager kids. As promised it was a private tour.

He was also a good guy, lots of fun to be around.morelessLinda 8/11/2022Fantastic Fishing Experience - Book it! My husband and I booked a private charter for Halibut fishing but we actually did both Halibut and Salmon. We had such a great time, our Captain was experienced and did all the hard work while we just brought the fish in abundance. We were able to ship our fish home, which we will enjoy with family.Highly recommend this experience, you will be happy with your catch!moreless
- billy_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.morelessBeth 7/31/2023Highly Recommended- great time! Fantastic! Picked up and dropped off at the port. We chartered 2 boats for 8 people and we each caught our limit during the 4 hour excursion. Guides were great!

- EpirocTodd 8/07/2019Customer event We have for the past few years worked with Oasis for our Alaska customer fishing trip. Mark, Joanne and their boat captains have been wonderful for us and have accommodated all of our requests. The fishing was wonderful again and our freezers are all full of Salmon, Halibut and Yellow Eye. We'll definitely be back!morelessarvidpeterson 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). Moremoreless
- Steve 5/25/2023Great experience from great people! Top Notch people, top Notch fishing. We were running late on our cruise ship because somebody on the ship needed to be airlifted to a hospital. Thankfully the crew over at Oasis was alerted, and were extremely accommodating to our needs. We were promptly picked up at the port, and were sent out with a great captain that put us on the fish! Awesome day, would highly recommend Oasis! We will be back and will book them again!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.moreless
- tmsylak 6/17/2018Fun Fishing Trip Captain Murray was an outstanding fishing captain!!!! He was patient with us novice fisherman!!! 🙂 With his expertise we were able to catch 3 halibut, 5 cod, 1 small shark(had to through him back) and numerous bait fish(fun to catch). Would definitely recommend Oasis Alaska Charters!!! Also JoAnn was very helpful in answering our numerous questions! Thanks Captain Murray for a fun morning, the four hours flew by!!!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
- Keith 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!morelesseasterday1614 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.

Book the full day because when your time is up you will wish you could keep fishing.morelessTPatillo 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!!!moreless
- Maggiebelle 9/16/2018Fishing trip. We recently took an Alaskan cruise. On our Ketchikan stop we fished with Oasis. They were booked outside what the cruise offered. Took a short cab ride. They were waiting ready for us. Great trip..nice boat..great captain. It was small (only the 4 of us). The scenery was some of the best of the trip. We caught a lot if fish. When we returned to dock, they arranged processing and shipment home. Taxi waiting, then back to ship. Going back to stay and fish for a week.morelessRay 9/21/2022Oasis Alaskan Charters….One Class Act While on an Alaskan family cruise, we had a very abbreviated stop over in Ketchikan. Unable to book 5 family members on fishing excursion so we went freestyle. Found Oasis Alaskan Charters online and read reviews. Claimed to be 5 star operation so we booked a private charter for just our family.
From the time we got off to the got back on the cruise ship, Oasis demonstrated they were, in fact, a class act. We were picked up at the pier in a private shuttle at the appointed time, taken directly to the chartered fishing boat, introduced to our captain, Bert, then loaded onto the boat and headed out to do some bucket list salmon fishing. We booked a 4 hour charter as we had to be back to the ship 4-1/2 hours after docking. We didn’t think we were going to get anywhere close to 4 hours of fishing but I will tell you, we got pretty close to that but still got back to the marina by 11:00 am.
While fishing, Bert masterfully navigated the boat around both recreational and commercial salmon fishermen while skillfully managing the rigging of 3 fishing poles. Between the 3 fishermen, we caught 13 good sized silver salmon (largest 12 lbs) during the allotted time. Several more were hooked but lost during recovery. A beautiful day to be in the water for sure.
After returning to the dock, Bert unloaded the salmon for us and hung them up for a photo opportunity. He also has explained to us about the procedure and cost for keeping salmon for personal consumption.
The shuttle ride back to the ship was as good as the pickup and we were back at the ship at the appointed embarkation time.
Oasis Alaska Charters is in complete tune with the cruise ship industry and knows how to maximize your time on the water without being concerned about missing your cruise ship.
This company is a class act all the way and I would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to fish in Ketchikan AK.moreless - 75patn 8/08/2023Amazing Fishing Trip - Highly recommend - Would definitely book again!!! Hunter (The Predator) was awesome. We caught more salmon than we could have imagined. Can't wait for the salmon to arrive so that we can enjoy it. Our two grandson's and son in law talked about what a great time they had every day during the remainder of the trip. My husband, who could not fish, could not say enough about the experience. We highly recommend this charter. It definitely surpassed any expectations we had.morelessPioneer480867 8/25/2020Awesome 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.moreless
- tasschu 8/20/2016Amazing Experience! I was lucky enough to book Oasis Charters for a "bucket list" Alaska fishing trip for my father and father in law. Things could not have been better. Mark and Captain Murray made this an amazing experience and went out of their way to make sure we had the time of our lives. We caught a ton of salmon and halibut and thoroughly enjoyed everything about the experience. Thanks Mark and Captain Murray!morelessRandy 9/26/2018Disabled Veterans fifth annual "Trip of a Lifetime" with Oasis alaska Charters The ownership, Captain and deck hand truly made this a "Trip of a Lifetime" for our Disabled Veteran participants.

It was a great time.morelessJeanMSmith 7/30/2015Deap sea charter We had booked for two days in late July. We were out with Murray. We had a great time.

- Mark 8/25/2017Oasis Alaska Charters I was recently on an Alaskan Cruise and I had set-up in advance a charter for myself and 5 family memebers to go Salmon fiishing in Ketchikan. When I get to port on Friday August 18th the boat Captian leaves a message he is sick and cancels my trip!! I call around and Gary from Oasis Alaska Charters on short notice landed my a charter from his company. The captian, Logan was frioendly, knowledgable and very professional and patient on the trip. We caught 14 fish in 3 hours!!

- Dr 9/15/2019Grand 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!!!morelessdeannahammons 9/18/2019Alaska 2019 James was an excellent driver and guide for our trip in Alaska.

- MTTravelers1 7/28/2015Fishing in Alaska Our family had a very good experience with Oasis! Went salmon fishing a few days ago. Trip included my wife, my two children, and my mom and stepfather. Murray was the captain from Oasis and was very professional the whole time. Weather did not cooperate, nor did the salmon. However Murray made sure to at least go in a location to catch some rock fish so the kids would have a great time. Just sailing around and looking at the scenery, including many bold Eagles was great! I would definitely recommend Oasis.morelessrandyhI2215CJ 9/07/2020OVER THE TOP WONDERFUL Purple Heart Anglers is a 501 c 3 all volunteer organization. We have been taking Disabled Veterans on a "Trip of a Lifetime" for 7 years now and as the founder and President I can say we have always been with and will continue to go out with Oasis Alaska Charters. The owners and Captains are, as far as I'm concerned the best in Alaska.
Randy Houstonmoreless - Amanda 6/12/2022Excellent Halibut and Sea Bass Fishing in Ketchikan My husband, father in law, and I booked a 4 hour Halibut tour outside of our cruise ship- We were in port from 1230p-730p and wanted a more personalized experience rather then going through the cruise line. I am SO GLAD THAT WE DID because we had a great day and ended up with a nice catch of fish! This operation offered transportation from the cruise ship to the marina. As we were getting off the ship, Mark, called us and said he was in the parking lot waiting for us. It was about a 20 minute drive to the marina where we met our captain Hunter. The boat was in excellent condition and managed the sea’s well. It was overcast/rainy (typical for Ketchikan) but also a little breezy. Hunter and Mark had told us that they were concerned with the weather report and we would have to “play it by ear” if it got to rough. Thankfully, it did not get to rough and we were able to spend a lot of time out on the water. It took a little while for the Halibut to turn on as the tide was not moving in the right direction, but when it did, we quickly caught our limit! One Halibut was 35 inches, which is big considering we couldn’t keep it if it was over 40 inches, so we were thrilled!After we caught our limit, Hunter gave us the option to do some Salmon fishing or do some bottom fishing for cod/sea bass. Since we wanted table fare, we opted for the bottom fishing- it was not Salmon season yet. Hunter ran for about 20 minutes to get us to a more protected area (the wind was starting to pick up a bit and we needed calm waters to jig). No sooner then we got to this new area, he saw fish on the meter, told us what to do, and boom we started catching sea bass. Unfortunately we did not catch any cod, but we did limit out on sea bass. During this time there was a bald eagle flying around and doing his own fishing which allowed me to capture some amazing photos. We also saw Orca’s and sea lions. Overall this trip was amazing. We ended up with 3 Halibut, 1 pacific cod, and 15 sea bass. When we got back to the marina, the dock guys met us, took the fish, cleaned them up for pictures, and then filleted and packaged the fish for shipping. Now that we are back home (in Maryland) we should be getting the fish this week. We are so excited!I highly recommend this company and this tour. It was excellent and we had a great time. While we had a great day, remember, its called fishing, not catching…. Although I am confident Hunter will do anything in his power to put you on the fish 🙂morelessandyalbert2019 7/26/2019Tough 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.moreless
- ftdock 7/01/2021We 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. …morelessmgallegos2017 1/03/2018Fishing Trip in Ketchikan Family Fishing Trip to Oasis Alaska Charters was literally Off the hook. Terrific experience from the get go.

- Kim 9/17/2019Such a fun trip! We chartered two boats for 7 of us, and we had a blast. It was chilly and rainy, and it didn't even phase us. Our fishing guys were great, we had all fished before but none of us were experts by any means, and they helped us all to reel in fish and get some pics! The landscape was stunning, and the salmon were flowing :). Would definitely recommend!morelessRoving226031 7/20/2018Great 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.

- WyoLaw53 3/24/2016June Fishing! Salmon, but we caught a bunch! Good Captain, Chris! We had about 8 hrs off the cruise ship in Ketchikan, and went out with Captain Chris, of Oasis Alaska Charters. He had just arrived in Alaska not too lang prior, and so we were a little worried about our chances, BUT... we caught a bunch of fish, one big enough to keep, and eat. Chris was a good guide and captain. We saw lots of Bald Eagles, and when I went to throw back my rock fish, an Eagle swooped down and grabbed it out of the water. Nice lunch. After fishing, we had the Taxi driver stop at a little food market in Ketchikan, and then take us to a cool little town park up hill from the main street, where we cooked the salmon over a grill, had drinks, and enjoyed our own little picnic. Great fun, then we rode the 'local' bus, across town to the cruise docks. That was a fun experience, we got to ride on the 'non-tourist' side for a bit! Great day! Good fishing, good food.morelessExplorer47122777672 7/26/2023Not as successful as I hoped Didn't catch anything.. Captain relatively new to area. Water was kinda rough that afternoon.

Our captain was very nice and handled everything professionally.moreless5travlrs 7/29/2016Alaska 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!moreless

We have been staying at Clover Pass Resort in our RV and doing the self-guided fishing boats catching a "keeper" king salmon here and there. Our friends from Reno flew up for two days and we wanted to make sure they had some halibut to take back. We had been watching and listening and knew that Capt. Murray was the one to book. He did not disappoint us. Limited out on Halibut and caught one nice King, a Pacific Cod and some rock fish. The dock hands who usually process the fish were at lunch, so another Capt from Oasis stepped in and filleted our fish so that we could get it ready for Alaska Airlines shipping. What a great team!moreless

- Traveler443457 6/09/2022Awesome! Fabulous trip! The owners are overly accommodating-we did not have our license as we were supposed to and they printed them for us at their home. Murray was a fabulous captain-we quickly caught our limit of halibut and he took us to fish for other types of fish! When we visit Alaska again, we will definitely use Oasis!morelessGary 9/10/2016Three days of great fishing! If your going to Ketchikan this the company to put you on fish, you will enjoy every minute on the boat!moreless
- vbhusker8181 1/03/2018Great 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..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 - 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. 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. …moreless
- Navigate523749 9/27/2021Absolutely incredible What an incredible crew and ownership.
I scheduled with Oasis charters after everything on our cruise was booked. I am so glad that this was the case. I wanted a charter for 2 which I could not get booking through the cruise anyway.
They were the first people to answer the phone call (not a computer voice) talking with Mark and Joanne was a wonderful experience. I called back multiple times after booking our excursion with questions. They were so kind and answered every question I had without making me feel like what I may have been asking was dumb or stupid. It was our first fishing excursion so I had a lot of dumb stuff I was thinking about. When we got to port Mark was right there waiting. When we arrived at the dock for our excursion we met our captain Axl (not sure of spelling). We could not have asked for a better captain for us. He supplied us with great info and an incredible fishing trip. We almost limited out by catching 9 of a possible 12 salmon in our short 4 hr excursion. The conversation and the expertise he showed was awesome.
Thank you so much Oasis Alaskan Charters what an incredible memory we will have for the rest of our lives.

The boat was nice and well equipped and the guide was knowledgeable and eager to help us catch fish!moreless - Leisa 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.morelessMark 12/27/2017Probably 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.moreless

- Sonia 7/18/2016Great 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!morelessRelax08461358885 8/12/2019A Great Time My family, including 2 adult children had a great - and productive - time with you. Thanks, and we are happy to recommend you for fishing groups.moreless
- GregStewart2013 7/27/2017Best fishing trip ever I could not have asked for a better fishing charter. They knew that we had a limited amount of time for fishing because we had to get back to our cruise ship, so they did everything they could to get us on the water and fishing asap. We left the dock and were catching fish within 15 minutes. Captain Murray found a honey hole and helped us put 41 fish on ice in about 3 1/2 hours. We had a great time and would happily use Oasis Alaska Charters again. I've already recommended them to several friends.morelessJSSTA 9/26/2022EPIC 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.moreless
- IndianPrincessNG 5/10/2018Fishing in Ketchikan Fishing and captain were a blast! Thanks for making it a great and memorable time, Oasis! 2 of our fishermen caught a rare yellow eye fish and met their one per year limit. HOW FUN!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 folksmoreless
- 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 .morelessesalinas647 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?moreless - davidh610 8/05/2022Successful Salmon Fishing Excursion We arrived in Ketchikan on a Holland America cruise ship and had only 7.5 hrs. in port. We called Oasis Alaska Charters and spoke to Joanne, who helped us book a 6-hour private salmon fishing trip tailored to our ship's arrival and departure in port. We paid a small fee for their shuttle service between the ship's gangway exit and boat dock (both ways). Our shuttle service (provided by Oasis) went smoothly even though we were delayed 30 minutes getting into port and off the ship. We received texts and a phone call letting us know that our ship's arrival and our disembarkation was being monitored, which made our transportation experience as stress-less as possible. Hunter was our fishing boat captain. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and skilled at finding the right spots to fish. Within 1.5 hours we had almost maxed out our fishing limit of pink salmon. Once still we had reached our limit, Hunter asked if we wanted to fish for sea bass. We had lots of time, so we readily agreed. Hunter taught us the technique for fishing for sea bass, and within 1.5 hours we had reached our limit of sea bass. We noticed some eagles perched on treetops along the coast. Hunter showed us a cool trick for enticing the eagles to the boat. We caught a rockfish and reeled it up quickly to stun the fish (it got the "bends"). Once unhooked from the line, Hunter tossed the rockfish overboard. It was alive and floating on the surface. Within seconds, two eagles launched from shore. The first eagle made two dive passes before grabbing the fish in its talons on the third pass. It made for an excellent video to share with friends and family. Upon our request, Hunter took us to see an active eagle's nest. My buddy and I were extremely happy with our fishing trip/experience with Hunter/Oasis Alaska Charters. We HIGHLY recommend Oasis Alaska Charters. We will definitely charter another fishing trip with Oasis next time we are in Ketchikan. Thank you Hunter and Joanne!morelessBrian 7/23/2015Outstanding Fishing and Fun in Ketchikan My son and I had a terrific time with Captain Mike. He really is a pleasure to fish with. His focus was always on getting us fish, and he tried different locations, flashers, depths and bait to help us do the best we could. We were thrilled to catch salmon, halibut and cod with him. He works hard to put you on fish, unlike some charters that stay closer to the marina. It was a real pleasure to talk to with him as we enjoyed two wonderful days fishing. We'll be back.moreless
- maurera75 8/13/2019Awesome 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!

- TylerC626 9/11/2020Awesome, 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.morelessrdangerfield2018 7/21/2018Awesome Salmon fishing trip The trip was awesome!

- 4bosox 7/21/2018Fantastic Experience We had an unbelievable experience.

- 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.morelessivangarcia50 7/07/2021The best The fishing guide know where the fish are, a lot of experience, Johanne help us with everything, she is amazing,moreless
