Captain B was excellent from the minute we got on the boat to when we disembarked.. a true pro with 33 years experience he said. We had beautiful weather and started out going for King Salmon with down riggers. The Deckhand Randy was also good and started out by stating he had "Saved 8 men overboard" & "I got the biggest balls in Homer". We started catching right away and Captain B would come down to net the bigger fish and mutter "Randy.. your a disaster today" I think it was all part of the act! We caught the KING limit and silver limit in no time without losing many fish at all.. maybe it was the walking stick?? Captain B then took us to a beautiful cove.. complete with a BAR to finish the day fishing for Rockfish! After about an hour we had the limit in Rocks and headed to the bar but the Captain couldn't find it? Nice ride in watching Randy filet all the fish! Great charter/ great time.. highly recommend.

I understand your 60-90 day cancellation policy, but did you know that my wife fell a few days ago, broke her knee, and is now unable to travel or even put weight on it? We had to cancel our entire Alaska trip! We have a Dr's statement stating she is unable to travel at all. So, we have had a medical emergency. So I guess we are just out the $3200, and now you are not returning my calls or emails? Shame on you! If or when we travel to Alaska, we will definitely not book with you all.

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.
