    Great trip. We had captain Jack for 2 halibut trips.Caught our limit on both trips. Seas got rough on our 2nd trip, but the capt.did a nice job of getting us to the dock safely and with a limit of nice fish. We stayed at their lodge which was beautiful and had incredible views of the volcanoes.

    Wife and I went out with Ninilchick Charters out of Seward, Capt Johnny and Mate Skyler were awesome. The first spot we stopped at was slow for me, while others were hooking up, after a while I started to hook up. About three fishes in, I hooked the fish I wanted, a 94+ pound halibut. In the end, my wife and I caught two halibut, one small and the one big one, two silver salmon (both really good size), one plane rock fish and one color. On the way back to the dock Skyler cleaned all the fish, when docked, he then brought it to a processor/shipper so we could send it home (not cheap if you have a lot of meat, but that's part of the experience) I would highly recommend Ninilchick Charters. Can't say you will catch what we did, but i can tell you that Capt Johnny kept trying to get everyone lots of fish and you can just tell he loves fishing. Scott

    Got my limit and had a great time!!. they were able to rebook my fishing charger due to bad weather within the same week, and I had so much fun. 15 people limited in under two hours!!!

    An amazing fishing trip!! Cpt Johnnie "the knife" has always taken great care of my family. I've been in Alaska for 3 years and my family does a charter or 2 every Summer. We made the mistake of booking somewhere else once. Don't do it! This is a top notch company and it was an AWESOME experience every single time. Do not waste your money or time with anyone else.

    Took an all day multi-species charter with the guys this past 4th of July. The trip was the last of three for my family's trip to Alaska, with the other two being taken elsewhere. Communication leading up to the trip was great and the directions to find the boat and meet the crew for departure were easy to follow. Capt. Jamey and deckhands Johnny and Devin were fantastic to work with. There was a part of 11 total on the boat with some of the fishermen having limited experience. Given that the crew was really patient with everyone regardless of skill and tried to educate everyone on how to be successful. Trip was about 2.5 hrs out to the first site but the current was working against and we had trouble landing the anchor so looking at conditions we moved on. 2nd stop was more of the same. Finally on third we got anchored and even though the current wasn't ideal we started to land rockfish (several types). After a bit of that we moved and picked up some halibut as well as salmon. Couple skates too but the target fish were coming in spurts. Crew decided we would stay later and come back to the dock later because of the unideal conditions earlier. This paid off as my dad caught a great looking lingcod which was my hope for this particular trip. Coming back to Seward we heard a couple of mayday calls and helped tow an ill equipped boat to safety. This put us into dock about 9pm which unfortunately meant my dad and I couldn't drop off at the fish processor. Hearing this the crew came to the rescue. They offered up to store the catch in a marine ice chest overnight for us. We picked up the fish the next morning and got them successfully processed and shipped. Would highly recommend Ninilchik Charters out of Seward. The crew was fantastic.

    We fished with these guys 2 days and had a great time...we didnt catch the biggest fish, but the staff was top notch...very people friendly and accommodating. Capt Joe was our skipper and worked just as hard as any skipper that I have used, but not only hard working, he was competent, and friendly. All 6 of us had very nice and big fish, just no monsters this time. They have fish processing and holding right on the premise which is very nice and convenient. The boats are in good condition and more then adequate. They have 3 RV sites in the gravel parking lot, nothing spectacular, but very convenient when you're leaving the next morning. I will definitely be going back there, a great company that hires quality people...most places can find you fish, but its a huge bonus when you get fish and deal with great people! Joe, Brad, and Lea...top notch!

    Captain Garrett was amazing! He made sure that we all caught our limits! The deckhands were all very good and were on the ball when someone was on fish! We even got to see whales on the trip! Definitely will do Ninilchik Charters again!!

    See all

    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. (And amazing wife) The entire day was well-organized and exceeded all of my expectations--from the fishing itself to the top-notch accommodations on board. Captain Steve went above and beyond, even helping us fillet and clean our catch of fish and crab. It was clear that the crew genuinely cared about providing an unforgettable experience. What a great group of people--knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly professional. I'll definitely be booking again!
