Charter Fishing


Homer is known as the "Halibut Capital of the World" and this is a 100% true statement.  A visit to Alaska isn’t complete without spending a day on the water catching trophy Halibut, Salmon, and Rockfish. Our vessels are outfitted with tons of horsepower to get you and your group out to prime fishing grounds in comfort and record time. A fast vessel means you’ll have more time to fish!  Our captain and crew will meet you at our office on the Homer Spit at 6:30 a.m. for a scenic ride along Alaska’s pristine coastal wilderness to our favorite fishing holes. Worried about motion sickness?  We are one of the only charter companies to install gyro stabilization systems on our entire fleet. This system eliminates 90% of vessel roll, the leading cause of seasickness. Our seasoned captains and crews will teach you all you need to know to bring the big ones over the rail and into the freezer.  When your arms are tired and the day is done, our deckhand will expertly fillet and prepare your fish to be cooked or vacuum-sealed and frozen by a local fish processor. You’ll roll back into the harbor around 4:00 p.m. with plenty of time to go to dinner at one of our fine restaraunts.

   6:30 a.m. check in at our Spit office

National Park Bear Viewing


BROOKS FALLS:

Nestled in the center of Katmai National Park, Brooks Falls is a world-renowned bear sanctuary. Take a spectacular float plane ride from Homer across the Cook Inlet, past Augustine volcano, and over the Valley of 10,000 Smokes to Naknek Lake. Pull up to the beach and take a short walk to the National Park Service Ranger Station for a brief presentation and then, let the exploring begin! You’ll be fully immersed in Brown Bear natural habitat while following several boardwalks and trails that lead right up to the falls where, at most times, there are more than half a dozen bears actively feeding! During the height of salmon season, it is possible to see 50 or more brown bears feeding in the river only a few feet from the observation platforms. Brooks River is home to one of the best natural runs of red and silver salmon in the state! This draws bears from all over the area to the river for a viewing experience like no other. Midafternoon, make your way back down to the lake where your chariot awaits.

CHINITNA BAY & HALLO BAY: 

Bear viewing in Alaska is world renowned for giving visitors an up close and personal experience with majestic Coastal Brown Bears. 98% of our country’s brown bears live in Alaska and hundreds of these incredible animals live right across from the Kenai Peninsula on the west side of Cook Inlet. We are proud to offer our guests the opportunity to fly by wheeled bush plane into the heart of Katmai and/or Lake Clark National Parks to spend the day watching these amazing animals. Each of these locations offer incredible opportunities to observe bears ranging from 800 to 1200 lbs. in their natural environment. After a short safety briefing, you’ll put on a pair of waterproof hip boots, and climb aboard one of our bush planes. Many customers have commented that the flight alone into bear country was worth the price of admission. Your route will take you over and around volcanoes, glaciers, and rivers where you’ll land on long sandy beaches. From there, you and your trained guide will hike into the backcountry for a photo safari where incredible scenery and wildlife are around every corner. It will take your breath away. Watch as Coastal Brown Bears dig for clams, graze on sedge
grasses, establish dominance, and teach new cubs how to catch salmon in the river. Spend the day with us in the heart of bear country and make Alaska-sized memories that will last a lifetime!

TRIP INTINERARY:

  • Meet at Beluga Lake office for check in at 8:00 a.m. or as low tide schedule requires
  • Size up for hip boots and complete check in paperwork
  • Board our V.I.P. shuttle for a short ride to the airport
  • Pilot safety briefing
  • 1 hour flight to Chinitna Bay in Lake Clark National Park and/or      Silver Salmon Creek
  • 3 hours on the ground with the bears

Fire and Ice Volcano Flightsee 

When our guests arrive in Homer, it doesn’t take long to notice several towering mountains across the Inlet. These are not just mountains. These are dormant volcanoes that make up the North American Ring of Fire. Seeing these pillars from the air is an experience second to none. In fact, our volcano flightsee experience is often called the “Fire and Ice” tour due to a large number of volcanoes with glaciers cascading down on every side. Join us by floatplane or wheeled bushplane as we travel cross Cook Inlet and fly past some of the most epic volcanoes in North America. We’ll climb up to 10,000 feet and put you eye level with the top of Mount Redoubt. While holding our altitude, we’ll fly a few miles south to Mount Iliamna, and then down to world famous Mount Douglas in Katmai National Park. We’ll finish the tour by circling Mt Augustine that rises from the Inlet in true volcano style. This 3 hour tour will take you over and through mountains that have been steaming and rumbling for thousands of years. You’ll see a mix of cauldrons, high lakes, blue ice glaciers, Pumice boulder fields, and bright green alpine vegetation that can only be seen in and around sleeping volcanos. Clear the camera cards and charge up the I Phones! You’ll need plenty of space to capture the uniqueness of each of these magnificent spires.

The Ring of Fire (affectionately known as Fire and Ice Tour) flight takes in the best of Alaska scenery and is often mentioned as the cherry on top of an Alaska vacation.  You’ll depart Homer or your lodge across the Bay and have a bird’s eye view of the Homer Spit, as we fly up the coast and aim for Readout Mountain and Iliamna volcano across Cook Inlet.  We’ll take several laps around these mountains, and across their cauldrons before heading south to circle Mount Douglas in Katmai National Park and Preserve.  You’ll see the world famous Hallo Bay bear viewing sanctuary at the base of the mountain before heading across to Augustine Island.  For a small upgrade fee, we can take a 30 minute detour over the Valley of 10,000 Smokes.  Have your camera ready!

Fish and Fly

If maximizing your time here in Alaska and having an adventure-packed vacation is your primary goal, the Fish & Fly trip two-in-one is for you.  By combining floatplanes and our state-of-the-art fishing vessel, we are able to show you the best of Alaska by air and sea.  Departing the harbor at a time of your choosing, enjoy the ride out to the fishing grounds in comfort and style.  Fish all day on our 44’ gyro-stabilized vessel, the F/V Wilderness Explorer, and while other charter companies are headed for home, you’ll have up to 1.5 more hours to seize the bite!  Our aircraft will fly down to meet the boat and transport you and your catch back to Homer.  Enjoy a 45-minute flightsee over glaciers, snowcapped mountains, waterfalls, and Jurassic Park-like scenery, returning to Homer or your lodge just in time for dinner. 

Here's what to expect:

  • Trip length: 8-10 hours
  • PRIVATE CHARTER ONLY
  • SIZE: UP TO 10 GUESTS (call for further accommodation)
