Had a great time out on the water, unfortunately, we didn’t hook any salmon (we came later in the season). However, they made sure that we got our limits in rockfish! Best bang for your buck! Thanks!!
My husband has gone on two charters and had a blast both times. Knowledgeable and helpful staff made the experiences even better. Absolutely worth the money.
Had an amazing time out on the water! A great captain and crew full of knowledge and humor, a fun trip all around. From catching rock fish and silvers to helping a fellow boat in distress. Some truly great people! Can’t wait to go again and catch some amazing fish.
Had an amazing time fishing with this crew. The deck hands and Captain were so attentive and tried putting us on the fish all throughout the trip.
Amazing experience with Capt. Eric and his crew on the rainisong. We absolutely hammered on the fish and had a very enjoyable day on the ocean. If in Seward make sure you book with Capt. Eric !
The guys aboard were awesome all knowledgeable and happy to help and answer questions. The captain brought us to spots to see wildlife and let us know when there were whales about! Caught lots of fish and had a lot of fun! Definitely going to go with them again
Captain Eric and crew were fabulous on our charter yesterday! Beautiful weather helped and their service was awesome! Would definitely book again! (Landing fish helped too! 😊)
The whole experience of the charter was fantastic. On top of bringing us to great spots with plenty of fish the captian stopped to see seals, sea lion, whales and orca. 10/10 would recommend and I will be going again!
From start to finish, our fishing trip with this crew was nothing short of incredible. Captain Eric is not only highly knowledgeable about the waters, but also made everyone feel safe, comfortable, and excited for the adventure ahead. His passion for fishing and years of experience were obvious and deeply appreciated. Gio and Ryan were absolutely fantastic, always one step ahead, helping us with bait, lines, and gear with such efficiency and friendliness. They brought a great energy to the boat and made sure everyone was having a great time, whether you were a beginner or seasoned. The teamwork between Captain Eric, Gio, and Ryan made the entire day run smoothly. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, and commitment to making the trip fun and memorable truly set them apart. We caught plenty of fish and had a great time.
We had such a great experience with the Seward Fishing Club on the Rainisong. Captain Eric and his deckhands, Ryan and Geo, made this such an enjoyable time. The boat was well-kept and comfortable. We didn't catch as much as we had hoped but it didn't matter. We were there for the experience and this fishing team was spot-on!! They worked hard to find good spots and keep our lines in the water. Would definitely book with them again!! Thank you for an unforgettable day!
What a fun ladies trip, the crew did a good job trying to keep up with all of us!
This wasn’t my first fishing charter—but somehow, every time I go out with Seward Fishing Club, it feels like I’m experiencing it all for the first time! The captain and crew aboard the Rainisong are hands down the best team you could hope to spend a day on the water with—fun, professional, and just genuinely awesome people. They handled all my questions (and my nonsense!) with patience and good humor, made sure our group was well taken care of, and created an unforgettable experience. I’ll definitely be booking with them again for future trips!
Great crew! Captain Eric has a super sense of humor, knows where to find fish and we enjoyed the day!
Went out on the Rainisong and had a blast. The crew was amazing and the Captain made sure he got us on some fish! They were friendly and knowledgeable and took great care of us!
Went home with my limit of fish, had a great time. Easily one of the best crews I've fished with
One of my favorite trips in Alaska! The crew was outstanding. fast, friendly, and incredibly helpful. The mates were on top of everything, from baiting hooks to cleaning fish, all with a great attitude and genuine enthusiasm. We caught a plethora of fish, and the action never slowed down. Couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water. Highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a top-tier Alaskan fishing experience!
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.
