Capt Jody and Capt Darryl made this a great experience for our family. We reserved all six spots on the boat and they took us to get 5+ species of Prince William Sound fish. My 10 year old nephew had never fished before and they went out of their way to help him bring in multiple fish. I would highly recommend Alaskan 4 Star Charters and can't wait to go back again! read more

I took my family out with CPT Jody just 3 weeks ago. Absolutely awesome. He drove right up to the spot and we hooked Halibut right away. Limited out in rock fish and also caught pink, silver and king salmon. Listen to the Captain, he'll tell you exactly what you need to do to catch fish. You have to leave Anchorage very early to make the 6:30 tunnel. If you are worried consider staying at the Whittier hotel the night before (and get 2 more hours of sleep!) I could go on and on but you can tell this outfit has been around for 20 years. Book it! you won't regret it. read more

Jody and Darryl from Alaskan 4 Star Charters did an outstanding job on my fishing charter. I will be making this a yearly fishing trip and will gladly continue using Alaskan 4 Star Charters. They know exactly where the fish are resulting in the whole charter limiting out long before quitting time. Jody and Darryl weren't gonna let the fishing stop there so they took us to another spot and we continued fishing for other species of fish. Thank you guys so much for the hospitality and the amazing day on the water. Already looking forward to next year! read more

Save your money and don't book this charter! Our group of three anglers reserved space on Alaskan 4 Star Charters out of Whittier for a multi-species excursion. Combined we've been on dozens of deep sea charters. To be fair, we had at least 3 warning signs and missed opportunities to turn and run. Warning sign #1: The actual boat looks nothing like the boat pictured in his listing or any of his social media. We were all shocked by the size of the boat taking 6 anglers fishing. There was interior space for 3 people and fishing space for 4 (and that's being generous). Warning sign #2: The "Captain" never introduced himself or his deck hand and never bothered asking any of us our names. Warning sign #3: The "Captain" said "the salmon were 'caputs', so we wouldn't be going after any salmon." (I think what he meant was he didn't know where they were). We've caught literally dozens over the same week. We motored 3 hours out with our party either sharing a seat or standing outside. Once at the fishing hole we proceeded to fish literally shoulder to shoulder. After two medium sized halibut were caught the "Captain" decided to move on because of the current and his difficulty controlling the boat during the drift. We motored for another 30-45 minutes to a calmer area where three small halibut and two cod were caught and about 20 arrow tooth. While arrow tooth don't make for good eating, it doesn't excuse the captain's mishandling of these fish. Rather than removing our hooks he would simply break their jaws by quickly tugging on the line and dropping them back in the water. We fished in total for about 4 hours, but 2.5 of those hours were spent detangling our lines (even in the calm water with experienced anglers) because the boat is just too small. During this time the "Captain" would bark random orders from the cabin to the novice fishermen, but no one knew who he was talking to because he didn't bother to ask anyone's name. "Captain" is not a good communicator! To make things worse, we were told we would be fishing for rock fish following our halibut run. There was one angler that didn't land a halibut. When asked if he wanted to move on the angler agreed with the impression we would be motoring to a rockfish hole. To his surprise, we went straight back to port. So let's do the math: 3 anglers $1125 6.5 hours of motoring 1.5 hours of actual fishing (2.5 hours getting untangled) 4 fish ( 2 of which were cod) The one positive from the trip was we made the 6pm tunnel out of Whittier! P.S. In his Anchorage listing the first five star review is from the "Captain" himself. The first five star review on his Whittier page is suspiciously from someone with the same last name. P.P.S. One of the six anglers was the "Captain's" friend who took up one third of the interior seating space the entire time. One would think anglers paying $375 each would get preference. P.P.P.S The 'facilities' on the boat consisted of a very small toilet behind a thin semi-translucent curtain that "Captain" had to hold closed with his foot while driving. Men were instructed to ask the ladies to avert their eyes while they urinated over the side. For $375 if I could have given him zero stars, I would have. read more

Three years ago a group of 4 went out with captain Jody, all of us are experienced fisherman and women, we had a great time catching halibut and rock fish. Captain Jody was very friendly and very knowledgeable. We all had a great time, so much that we are fishing with him again in August 2019. If you are looking for a charter in Prince William Sound, give captain Jody a call, you won't be disappointed. By the way, the pictures of his boat that you see on his website and other sites is exactly what you will be on. My group had no issues with tangled or being crowded. A great time was had by all! Give Alaskan 4 Star Characters a call, you won't be disappointed! read more

First time fishing in Alaska and my expectations were all exceeded, from a heated, enclosed, and comfortable cabin for the ride out and back. To a friendly and knowledgeable captain, who put us on the fish and filled the cooler. Couldn't have asked for a better trip. read more

A group of 5 of us went on a charter last week with Capt Jody- could not have asked for a better experience from meeting he and his deckhand, to the ride out to Prince William Sound, to the gear and instruction they gave us, to the persistence and perseverance Capt Jody put out to put us on good fishing and bring home what we were going after! He explained to us the how and why about why the fish we were targeting do what they do, taught us about safe release practices, and explained what made the fishery so unique and so different than many others. Couple this with amazing service by the deckhand and great Alaska scenery along the way (and a lot of beautiful halibut, rockfish, and cod), this was the best charter I've been on. As a person that charters trips myself, I appreciate his professionalism, his vast level of experience, and the way he conducted his charter, it was a very enjoyable day. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a top-notch charter and headed out to whittier, look Capt Jody up and charter with him, you will not be disappointed. read more
