Moved to Alaska and decided to spend our first weekend here fishing, Gio was our guide and we had the BEST time and experience. We will definitely be using this charter again.
Amazing trip in Resurrection Bay! Even with overcast, windy weather, some rain, and slow fishing, this was such a memorable experience. The views were absolutely beautiful, and the whole boat was excited when I landed a 13.78 lb silver salmon. I caught the heaviest fish for the day and then took 4th place overall in the 2026 Seward Silver Salmon Derby! Andrew and Johnny, the crew members, were fantastic, and Captain Eric was extremely helpful. He worked hard to make sure everyone had a great time, even with tough conditions. Many thanks to all of them for helping make it a memorable fishing trip. Overall, everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves, and I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great day on the water.
Great afternoon on the water with a great crew. Would recommend Seward Fishing Club.
The best fishing trip ever. Both of us got our 3 rockfish and Jade got a huge ling cod. The deckhands and captain were awesome. So much fun. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
So much fun! Caught a lot of fish and had a great time. Awesome guides. Would definitely come back.
So much fun!! Caught a ton of fish and the guides were awesome! Would definitely book again :))
Such a fun fishing day! Almost caught our rockfish limit combined (11/12) plus a few extra surprise fish! Lots of laughs and smiles!! Helped us learn how to fillet!
Booked a private charter with these folks in early August 2026, it was an amazing time. We brought our 6 month old daughter, 2 year old son, and 4 adults. Captain Eric, and deckhands Andrew and Brian were rockstars, so friendly and patient. They were the opposite of crusty, rude old sea dogs you sometimes get on charters. We loved that the crew was made up of younger guys - they matched the energy of our younger group. We limited out on halibut and rockfish, and also caught a silver salmon. When we come back to Seward, we will be booking a private charter with these guys again. Thank you! The rainisong boat was clean, safe, and had plenty of room of us to get comfortable.
We fished with Capt. Jacob and his two deck hands. The best charter I’ve been on. Jacob got us on fish and made sure everyone of us got our limit (halibut and rockfish.) He is a true fisherman because once he saw salmon being active at our last spot he moved and basically allowed an hour to catch salmon. They were slow but we all got one. He and the deck hands were very personable. Never been around a captain and deck hands that were so active with his guests. We will 100% try and book with him next time
Went out today on a half day trip, had a great time. Captain Eric was fantastic. Deckhands Andrew and Johnny could not have been better, they ran there tails off and made sure everyone was taken care of. Dropped our days catch off at J-dock and it was packaged and frozen, they packed it in a fish box and now it's checked baggage. I will book again.
Had a great trip. I fished, and caught a Copper Rock Fish. We love Johnny. Andrew and Eric were fine too.
An excellent time. I had never fished around the seward area and was worried that I wouldnt catch anything with my non existant rod fishing skills. Regardless of my fishing skill or lack thereof, the Captain knew the right spots & crew were happy to provide easy to follow instructions that let me land multiple silver salmon and some very tasty rockfish in no-time Id recomend bringing your own cooler and some ice to keep your fish and whatever other refreshments youd like to have on the water. Otherwise i'd recomend looking up some Seward based fish processors to flash freeze your fish and bag them up pretty for you. The crew will clean and fillete your fish for you as part of the outing but I would recomend you find a place to bag & freeze them individualy once youre off the boat. All in all a lovely experiance with a helpful captain and crew who knew what they were doing and were happy to teach people how to do it effectivly.
Fishing Resurrection Bay and the Gulf of Alaska
Many trips begin in Resurrection Bay, with routes that may extend toward the waters near Kenai Fjords National Park, depending on conditions. From calm days inside the bay to runs into more open water, each charter is shaped by weather, location, and what’s active that day.
Our experienced captains prioritize safety, clear instruction, and a smooth, organized experience so anglers can focus on fishing from the moment they step aboard.
Target Species: Halibut, Salmon, and More
Seward is known for its variety of saltwater fishing, and our trips are planned around what’s in season and most active that day. Depending on the charter, you may target halibut, salmon, and other local species such as rockfish, Pacific cod, and lingcod. Some days are built around silver salmon runs, while others offer steady action across multiple species.
We also offer combo and full-day trips when conditions align for a true mixed-bag experience. No two days are identical, but every charter is designed to give you the best opportunity for quality fishing out of Seward.
Licensing, Crew Support, and Fish Processing
Before you board, make sure you have a valid Alaska fishing license so your day starts smoothly. On the water, our captain and crew assist with baiting hooks, technique, and landing fish, helping anglers of all experience levels feel comfortable throughout the trip.
After the catch, we’ll walk you through next steps for handling and transporting your fish, including options for local processing and packaging. From start to finish, we aim to make your Seward charter simple, well-run, and memorable.
