    The Haul.
    Matthew P.

    I had a great experience yesterday on the West Cape with Ben and Connor. We went out for a full day fishing for salmon and halibut. We started with the salmon, most the anglers caught Pinks, and there was one King. Then we moved on to a spot liking for Halibut, everyone maxed out getting there limit of two. We had 6 total anglers. I would recommend not only NCHC, but going out on the West Cape with Ben!

    We loved fishing with North Country on The Irish with Captain JR, Billy and Mickey. Lots of Halibut to ship home plus dinner these next days. We are enjoying staying in the quaint room above the charter! We'll be back!

    81pound halibut

    Still fishing with Captain Ben and North Country Charters. We fish with Ben at least once a year and highly recommend him. He is extremely knowledgeable and creates a fun day fir those on his boat regardless of weather conditions. The office staff are really helpful and friendly.

    Catch of the day on the Obsession with Captain Travis.

    I booked the combination half day halibut and half day salmon fishing trip. There were a total of six fisherman on the Obsession with Captain Travis. After motoring for two hours, Captain Travis put us on a spot where we pulled out several large halibut. We were also lure fishing for salmon and caught several silver and pink salmon. We each caught two halibut within a few hours and then moved on to fish for the ever elusive king salmon. Although we didn't get any king salmon, we had a very successful day out on the water. Captain Travis was very patient with us novice fisherman and was very knowledgeable on the best fishing holes. I would highly recommend Captain Travis for your halibut and salmon fishing excursion.

    6 minutes ago My boyfriend and I booked a full day halibut fishing trip. Unfortunately we booked late towards the end of the fishing season so we were told that they had moved us to a smaller boat because they did not have enough people for the large one.  Captain Jay took us out along with 3 other people. It was a great experience. Captain Jay went out of his way to accommodate everyone. He stayed out later than scheduled to ensure everyone caught their fish. Captain Jay is very knowledgeable and everyone had a great time! They also have Elise at the front desk providing excellent customer service! I highly recommend this company.

    The day's catch

    We went with our son and daughter-in-law, who live in Eagle River. We had a fantastic day fishing with Capt. Ally. She was great, found the fish, and allowed us to stay out a little longer for the salmon catch. The weather was clear all day and everybody caught their share. Very memorable day! We will book again next time we go to Homer.

    Sky with a little King Salmon!

    We could give this place 10 stars if possible! We came in during the early early season and had attempted 2 times before getting on the boat due to weather/wind! Sticking it out with them was so worth it, this biz is so great when it comes to customer service! We loved going on the boat with Captain Jay and Little Dog, the sweetest Pomsky dog ever! Even though we didn't catch giant fish, Jay went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time and made sure to find some fish for us to catch regardless of size/type! Kathy was also so amazing scheduling us and setting us up for success. We know where to come back to next time!!!!!!

    Our group went out with Captain Ben and Mate Ben on the West Cape on July 30 and 31st, 2021. We had the best time. In the two days we got 166lb. 132lb., and 101lb. Halibut plus we all got 2. We got ling cod on both trips and our limits of rock fish. Captain Ben was wonderful to work with. We booked the Combo trip and it was so worth it. We sent tons of fish home!! Best trip my husband ever took. Thanks for the great adventure!!

    Yelp readers, please learn from my mistake and don't do what I did... I almost always book a vendor…read morewho has been rated / reviewed but for our family trip to Homer and the #1 event we had planned, a fishing charter, I thought I could save myself a few bucks and find a guy myself. I found a captain who had a boat and a website and a Facebook page and everything, and I paid in full in advance to reserve a trip with him... And the night before we were supposed to go, he bailed on us with a weak excuse of why he couldn't take us. We had a really set schedule and only the only possible day to go out fishing, so our chance to go fishing was almost ruined. At that late hour, I wasn't even sure I'd be able to reach another charter company, let alone find space for a party of 6 the next day. I am SO, so grateful to Homer Ocean Charters who took my call late in the evening and went above and beyond to be able to find a boat and a captain to take my family out the next day as we had originally planned. Especially Artis (my sincere apologies if I've misspelled that!) in the front office, who was so kind and helpful. Homer ocean charters got us all set up with Captain Brian and deckhand Ben, two of the most genuinely good guys you could ever hope to meet. They took such great care of us, made sure we had a great time, and of course, made sure we caught lots of fish!! Both guys were just incredible with the two kids in our group (ages 11 & 13). We really could not have asked for a better time! Please, please do yourself a favor. Stop looking now, and just book with Homer Ocean Charters. They will truly make your trip!! And whatever you do...DON'T trust a company not rated / reviewed! I never will again!

    We recently went out with Homer Ocean Charters on the Bay Explorer (Captain Max), and the…read moreexperience was far below what we expected, especially compared to their older reviews. The boat felt oversold -- about 20 guests with only two deckhands to assist. That made the trip feel crowded and chaotic, with lines constantly crossing and several people losing fish. Between the long ride out (roughly two hours each way) and the large group size, we ended up with very little actual fishing time, maybe half an hour in total. Nobody in our group was able to hit their limit. Afterward, we tried to share our concerns directly with management, but instead of listening, they argued with us and came across as pretty rude. Overall, the trip felt impersonal and poorly run. For the price and the reputation, we expected much more

You buy your fishing tags at the office and it lets you catch 2 halibuts and 1 king Salmon. We went out about 25 miles out to do our fishing. The capitan was a great host he lets us drink beers and we all had a great time. Be sure to pack a lunch since all there required is to get ya on the fish. After fishing for 4 hrs we cruised up the inlet to try our luck on salmon. Out of 10 of us on the boat I was the only one to catch a 24lb king salmon. After we got back to the dock they filet the fish for ya. If your looking to ship back your fish they will take care of all shipping for ya. I highly recommend this captain he definitely puts us on lots of halibut. Great times for sure

Old captain that seemed to rub people the wrong way is gone and retired. Fools gold was our ship, and was in fine enough condition, head was clean, plenty of room for the people in and out. We had the pleasure of being with Capitan Dave C. and Deckhand/first mate Ash. The two of them really made the trip incredible. We went with a group size of 7 plus a baby, and they were both insanely accommodating to the little one, let us setup a pack and play in the berth, even checked in on her when we were out fishing and she was sleeping. Tons, and I mean tons, of great conversations, hysterics laughter, and learning a boat load about the area, the fish types, everything under the moon, honestly. Both of them gave clean and consice rules, what to do, where to be in the boat, showed us how to bait, where to land the catch. Very patient folks, and made this excursion top notch. If you want to go halibut fishing, and want to have a good time, go with them. You'd be making a mistake to go with anyone else. Tl;dr: Awesome crew, awesome fish, very nice and would never fish with anyone else given the choice. All limited out, every one of us, with some impressive catches.

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!

However, riding out and spending the day with Eric was absolutely different than what we have encountered in the past. He was determined that everyone on the boat caught size-able halibuts, stayed out in the water much longer than the agreed upon time frame and even made us finger licking ceviche from scratch. Incredible time with the fellas. Would highly recommend chartering with them.
