He knows most of the fisherman in the area so he's always asking where the bite is. When the Halibut fishing is slow, he has no problem picking up the anchor and moving muliple times to find fish. I love how he just gives it to straight, NO BULL. If you're looking to find a captain that thinks fishing 24/7, he's your guy. Thanks again Jeromy. I hope to see you in July. alan

I would have…read morebeen happy to leave it at that but our excellent captain, Sarah, kept us hauling in fat, acrobatic Silver Salmon plus large Rockfish and Halibut.

With 100lbs of perfect Salmon! Thanks guys and gals!

There's fishing charters and there's Angling Unlimited. After spending 20 + years fishing in…read moreAlaska, I discovered Angling Unlimited (AU) about 7 years ago. This charter company isn't the run of the mill type of business. It's a boutique charter company that prides itself in customer service. From the moment you step off the plane in Sitka until the day you leave, you are treated with the best customer service imaginable. The Captains at AU are all seasoned Captains. Each fishing group is assigned a hostess to make sure your needs are met. You have a car to use to sightsee, shop or go to dinner after a full day of fishing. The rooms have kitchens and porches have BBQ'S. There's not much, if anything, that they don't provide for you. I can't guarantee that you will catch your limit of fish each day but I can guarantee a great experience...

This was my first fishing trip to AK and I can't imagine it getting any better than this. 6 of us…read morecame up together and all of them had been here at least once and some as many as 6-7 times. The hospitality and quality of service was way above what I expected. From the minute we arrived in Sitka they were there to help us with our luggage whatever we needed. Johnny was our Captain and he put us on fish every day. We maxed out our catch on several different fish ever day and we are taking home 150lbs of fish each. Yes, between the 6 of us we are taking back 900lbs of already filleted fish. Not only did Johnny pilot the boat he got down and dirty just like his deckhand Blake. This shows me that he really wants his fisherman to have a great trip. Speaking of Blake he was awesome as well. He was right there when you needed anything. He busted his butt all day every day. Theresa and the rest of her staff were very attentive and helped with our all needs. They help prepare our breakfast and dinner daily as well as cleaning our rooms. If you were out of something while eating they were right in the spot to get you more. This is what service is all about.

We…read morehad a group of six friends, four from Hawaii and two from Sacramento, and we met in Sitka for what turned out to be an epic fishing adventure. The staff at the inn was friendly and accommodating from the very start it seemed that there was nothing they wouldn't do to make our stay enjoyable. Our lodging was more than comfortable with the added bonus of a fantastic view that gets even better when the sun sets. Our hosts, Rich and Karen Kraft, are the nicest couple that take the time to get to know you and make sure there isn't more they can do for you. Courtney and Cameron assists you in the day to day things like shuttling you to the boat and the market if needed. Christie is the awesome chef that provides you with delicious breakfasts and gourmet dinners. Her desserts are to die for, the cheesecake with raspberry sauce being my favorite. She even bakes cookies and crumbles for you to eat on the boat. The fishing turned out to be catching on our trip. Captain Tyler, who is the Kraft's son, is second to none in Sitka. I truly believe we boated more fish in the four days of fishing than any other charter. He expertly put us on the fish every day even when the conditions were rough, and the conditions were pretty rough the last two days. We even limited out on silvers (36) and halibut (6) on the second day by 1:00. We all went home with 92 pounds of salmon and halibut filets. Then there is Caleb our deckhand. Caleb does everything from baiting lines to netting fish to cleaning the catch and making awesome sandwiches made to order. We are very grateful to meet such a fine hardworking young man. I highly recommend this family run Inn/charter to everyone. You absolutely cannot go wrong and you will have an enjoyable experience.

Our captain Nate must be related to Aquaman - he has an uncanny ability to know how long to fish one spot before trying another. First mate Malachi kept all lines untangled, all hooks baited, and made sure our fish were cleaned/filleted beyond restaurant quality. Back ashore, Kristi and her staff kept our bellies full with just-right family comfort food, and clean, quiet 4-start equiv hotel level accommodations for rest. Would def go again! Pro tip: Bring a seasick patch (Scopolamine). I'm normally sea-sensitive, but between the patch and Nate's boatmanship, I had no problems whatsoever.

This was our fifth fishing trip with Captain Mike Reif aboard the Sea Roamer in Sitka, Alaska, and…read moreonce again, Mike delivered an absolutely outstanding experience. At this point, we've fished with enough guides to know the difference between a good charter captain and a truly exceptional one--and Mike is in a class of his own. The fact that we keep coming back year after year says everything. Mike consistently works harder than anyone to put his clients on fish, and he never disappoints. His knowledge of the local waters, tides, weather patterns, and fish behavior is second to none. Every trip feels like fishing with a trusted friend who also happens to be one of the best captains in Alaska. This trip was phenomenal. We caught our limits of King Salmon, Halibut, and Rockfish, making for an unforgettable day on the water. Mike always seems to know exactly where the fish are and what it takes to get them biting. His experience, work ethic, and dedication to his clients are evident from the moment you leave the dock until you're heading home with full coolers and great memories. The Sea Roamer is clean, comfortable, well-maintained, and fully equipped for a first-class fishing experience. Safety, professionalism, and customer service are clearly top priorities. What truly sets Mike apart is that he genuinely cares about the experience his guests have. Whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer, he makes the day enjoyable, educational, and successful. It's rare to find someone who combines exceptional fishing skills with such great hospitality and professionalism. If you're looking for the best charter fishing experience in Sitka, Alaska, look no further than Captain Mike Reif and the Sea Roamer. Five trips later, we can confidently say Mike never disappoints, and we'll absolutely be back again.

Lodge is essentially waterfront and very large-pleasantly always clean, tidy, has "at-home" relaxing feel with tons of memorabilia around. The host and her husband take excellent care of everyone and by the end of the trip, you feel like you're saying goodbye to distant family. Captain Jack and deckhand Jack are definitely our go-to's now. The captain makes a MEAN sandwich for everyone lunch on the boat for lunch. The dock isn't too distant from the lodge, so you don't need to wake up early and roll out of bed. You can have breakfast and come back to life from the prior evening's shenanigans. The Jack duo was entertaining, energetic, knowledgeable, personable and great to fish with whether you're a beginner, intermediate or more advanced. The chef at the lodge, Luke, creates great cuisines for everyone each night, or the hosts can take you on a quick drive to town for an evening out and will pick you up when you're ready. Eliza, also one of the hosts, is fantastic and ensures there is never a dull moment when she's nearby. Wonderful people all around. And how is the fishing, you ask? It's Alaska. You'll catch fish. You'll have great pictures of scenery. You will make friends. Highly recommend you book with them for your next adventure. Big thanks to all the staff and owner!
