We lucked out with…read moreexcellent weather and a fun group from all over the country to share the lodge with our group of four from California. 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!

He wasn't available so he set us up with Captain Aedon and deckhand brother Zander. Aedon picked us up on time with a smile and wonderful spirit. Aedon put us on the fishing spots to catch four King Salmon, one we were able to keep and ship home, one that was too small to keep, and two that I was unable to land :-(. We also caught a large Lingcod and a couple others smaller ones. Captain Aedon and Zander were both open to share so much information about their fishing techniques and the Sitka culture. Amanda from Sitka Point Lodge was excellent as well. She contacted us the day of the charter to get copies of our fishing licenses so she could print them and give them to Captain Aedon with our delicious Sandwiches. Chips, and cookies. We were also provided sodas and waters. She also asked us if we needed rain gear and deck boots. After our trip, Amanda communicated with me to organize the least expensive way to deliver our catch and a couple extras. She went above and beyond to get our fish to us in one day on Alaskan Air Cargo for a reasonable price. What a wonderful experience! Thanks for all the care from the first call to eating our catch im our home kitchen in Southern California.

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.
