We charted a boat to do some halibut fishing in Homer with Alaska Coastal Marine. Homer is known as…read morethe Halibut fishing capital of the world and a big destination for outdoor enthusiasts. They are located directly on the Homer Spit. Some of the tours that Alaska Coastal Marine offers are sightseeing and guided fishing tours. Fishing charter packages include half or full days of halibut-only fishing or combo packages with multiple species included like rockfish and salmon. We booked a half day Halibut charter on the Foxfire. We probably spend about six hours out on the ocean. Everything we needed to fish including bait was provided on the boat. Half day charters leave Homer twice daily. We did have a few guys get sea sick as the ride out was bumpy from the choppy waters. But we had a good time and caught a lot of fish. The guides were great and helpful in getting us as much fish as we could until we reached our limit. They even cut up our fish on the way back. Overall, our time with Alaska Coastal Marine and on the Foxfire was a blast. The Homer Spit is a great place to shop and grab a bite to eat after your chartered boat tour. There are places around town that will process and vacuum seal your fish for shipping if needed.

Interesting that there's high reviews here. Well, our charter experience was not well received. We…read morehad a full boat and they didn't provide enough seating to accommodate everyone. This really sucks because it's a 2 hour journey to the fishing area, 2 hour fishing and 2 hours back with no seat. At $185 for 1/2 day a pop I'd expect it comes with a seat. We had a 6 year old who didn't have a seat and we somehow had him propped sitting on someone's cooler. We later discovered there were seats that had life vests placed there. Nobody was offered a life vest except children. Instead the vests were nicely seated where we could have sat. The workers didn't seem to offer or take notice. There were 3 workers on the boat with maybe 20 people fishing, and it was a wait for getting help with bait or lines getting snagged with others. Too much demand not enough supply. I guess this is where they make money on cutting costs for staff and loading up boats. Money hungry charter business. Since we were outside of the boat we saw them filet our fish and placed them in bags, BUT we noticed they take one filet from each fish and put it in a separate bucket. Now that's pretty shady, hence the reason for 1 star. Not only do they take a filet from each fish but the big piece! How scandalous is that?! I asked my brother if this is a common thing with charters and he said they didn't do that with a previous charter he went with. I mean seriously people if you decide to use this charter check if they do this with your fish! Yes we all caught our limit but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone...not even my enemies.

Our group of five spent two days halibut fishing with them and we maxed out both days. We grabbed a 103, 97, and 85 pounder for our top catches, and pure bragging rights requires me to point out that I landed the 103 and 97 pounders. It should also be brought up that Capt. Eric is a truly passionate fisherman and excellent host. While our goal was halibut when Capt. Eric found a school of rock fish, he stopped so we could catch our limit on them. Talk about a sweet cherry on top of what was already an amazing time. He also went out of the way to give us a chance of seeing some humpback whales, and while it was short lived we did get to see one. I could not stress how much I would recommend fishing with Maverick Charters and Capt. Eric. I have already told my wife that I will be going again!

I fished one day on the river for Sockeyes, two days on the boat chasing halibut and one day flying in to catch salmon and, as it happened, to watch bears. On the river, Andrew Chadwick guided us and he was terrific both in teaching me an entirely new way to catch fish (and I have done a lot of fishing so this was really unexpected); he found fish (unfortunately we limited out so fast that we were off the river sooner than I wanted) and was a pleasure to yack with. On days 2 and 3, we went out on the ocean to catch halibut, rock fish and salmon. My captain Jeremy was terrific. He found us fish, entertained us and generally ran a great boat. I was really pleased that we got him both days and I would fish with him again in a heartbeat. And I cannot say enough nice things about Rick, our mate. He was knowledgeable, friendly and full of stories. He was also very helpful, and fun to be with. On day 4 we flew up river with Corey to catch salmon and look for bears. We were lucky to find both. We caught lots of fish, got a beautiful view of Alaska going and coming and found 4 brown bears belly flopping into the water and wrestling with each other. It was priceless. I will put myself in the hands of AAGO again. Terry B

My hubby was so happy - he caught a beautiful 15 pound King Salmon and Gary and his assistant Jonah, were very instrumental in landing that fish. We had to get up early to get to the fishing spot and once there, Gary explained the rules and regulations and gave great instructions on what to do. Gary and Jonah were so helpful and everyone in our party caught a fish, the biggest being a 22 pounder! We never felt rushed at all. As a matter of fact, my hubby was the last to catch a fish and Gary and Jonah both were patient and were giving him tips on what he could do. So glad that we went with Silverfin Guides. We will definitely be using Gary again on our next trip.
