They were very detailed in explaining how to operate the equipment, helped us land some delicious halibut, and demonstrated how to fillet a halibut like a professional! The boat ride was very smooth and they drove us down to the beach in a passenger van so it is very convenient for those who can't walk long distances Thank you Brian and Katie for taking such great care of us! You made our family fishing trip one we will never forget!

Each of these guys were professional, courteous, and friendly--they went above and beyond to ensure we had the "opportunity and position" to catch some giant halibuts. While the waters were choppy and the big ones weren't biting--Cooper repositioned us and boom! We were landing some 30 to 45 lbs fish. Totally worth the trip. Additionally, as a dad, I loved watching my son (Chase) work as a deckhand. At 23, he's spent 6-years in Alaska fishing--his hustle, fishing skills, and interactions with the other four guest provided once in a lifetime "proud dad" moments I'll always remember. Thanks Jimmy Jack for the superb fishing trip and for growing my son into a phenomenal man. And Capt Cooper thank you for being a great example of professionalism to Chase. Huge and Happy Heart from this old man!! Much love-- Chip Chadick

Oh except for Capt Dave stepping into one of those hidden holes I guess :). He walked us around and showed us some bear far away and then took us to the most excellent area where the bears literally came within less than 50 yards away. The trip was totally worth it . I highly recommend Ninilchik Charters, we have booked several outings with them and they are very professional and an outstanding group of people. From the time you set up your reservation to when you go they send you reminders of what to bring to have a wonderful and memorable trip.

But not a way to run a business for people who spend a lot of money to fish and probably for the first time. Don't assume your guests are experienced deep water fisherman. And don't belittle your PAYING clients on how good they are at fishing. This guys was an amazing aashole.

A Truly Unforgettable Experience -- Above & Beyond in Every Way…read more Captain Steve's Fishing Lodge in Ninilchik deserves every bit of praise I can give. Our trip was planned last-minute while my brother was home on a short military leave before he had to return to Guam. We wanted to go fishing and sprinkle our dad's ashes to mark the end of probate, and this crew turned what could've been a heavy, emotional trip into something profoundly meaningful and beautiful. Despite being closed for renovations, Captain Steve and his wife, LeAnn, reopened just for us because our dad had fished with them many times over the years. They even rearranged their own holiday plans to make sure we could come. That alone speaks volumes about the kind of people they are. From start to finish, they handled everything. They helped us secure a last-minute car rental, cleaned and processed all our fish for shipping home, and woke up early--on what should've been their day off--to make sure we were fed, warm, and taken care of. Leann cooked five-star meals for us every day--breakfast, lunch, and dinner. She truly is the "hostess with the mostest!" And the highlight we'll be talking about forever? They cooked fresh crab for us right on the boat. Pulled from the ocean and cooked and eaten by hand on the spot--it doesn't get any better than that. We were also incredibly blessed with wildlife sightings. Over the course of our trip, we saw two pods of orcas, playful sea otters, several seals, and even a bald eagle--which meant more to us than words can say. The eagle is a special spirit animal for my brother and I, a symbol we deeply associate with our dad, and seeing one felt like a sign that he was with us. Captain Steve chose the perfect place for us to spread our dad's ashes--one of the spots he used to take him fishing. Evan, the sweetest and most attentive deckhand, helped us every step of the way and even brushed the snow off our car before we left. Every detail was handled with genuine care and kindness. This wasn't just a fishing trip. It was a healing experience, a family moment, and a memory we'll carry for the rest of our lives. We felt cared for, supported, and welcomed like family. We can't wait to come back in the summer for halibut, but for now, the salmon--and the memories--are perfect. Thank you, Captain Steve's team, for making our trip so special and unforgettable. -The Vuicich Family

Outstanding Fishing Experience with Captain Steve and Crew!…read moreI highly recommend Captain Steve and his amazing crew! From the moment we stepped aboard, they made us feel like family.
