What an experience! I booked an all day halibut fishing trip through Inlet charters who is…read moreprimarily a booking company on the Whistler boat with captain Jack, and two amazing female deck hands. It was me my husband, our two teenage kids and toddler. My daughter hooked a halibut within the first couple of minutes of dropping her line at the first spot, which got us all very excited. We all really enjoyed ourselves, especially the kids. We went to multiple spots to maximize the amount of fish which we all caught our limit without any problems and also was able to hook a handful of cods. Being that it was a slightly larger boat none of us got seasick, which I was really concerned for being that we are very prone to motion sickness. It was a beautiful day on the sea and we were blessed with beautiful sunny weather. We even got to witness orcas, puffins and sea otters. Overall thank you for such a great experience one that we will remember forever.

Captain Tasha said that we could go and they would turn our catch over to the processor for us. We left but another in the party stayed to insure his catch got packaged for the processor. Out of 2 large Halibut, 2 small Halibut, and 2 large Cod we had 16 pounds of fish when we got to the processor. We called inlet and said we were missing most of our catch. Inlet blamed the processor for losing the fish. We talked to the other member of the party who stayed and he said that when he left that our catch was still on the deck and we had twice what he had (37 lbs). He thinks the Captain and Deckhand missed most of our fish, Inlet screwed up, but basically blew us off. Such a poor ending to what had been a great day. If you use them, do not leave your fish with them until you are sure they have properly passed it off to the processor. No integrity and poor business ethics.

You Wont be Disappointed!…read more Our group of 6 made a last minute reservation for a halibut charter for 6/24/2019. Mary was able to put us on The Redemer with Cpt Eric. A glorious day of fishing. The boat is BIG, COMFORTABLE, made with Fishing in Mind, Fast and has all the comforts for any fisherman/fisherwoman. Excellent Equipment, plenty of good bait available, room to move about on the deck, inside table to relax at for lunch or to rest the tired arms and back from catching so many halibut. Our group limited out. Day 1 - We had a 90lb, a 50lb, and 30lbers for our bigs. Had a heck of a time catching the required small ones as the ones we kept bringing up were too big. " A problem that kept me smiling all day" We enjoyed it so much that we re-booked for Thursday 6/27/2019, again with Cpt Eric. Again we did well. With 4 in our group we took an 80lber, a 60lber, and two 40 lbers as our bigs.( Which is rare if you have chartered in this area before, usually you end up with 20-25 lbers) You cannot beat the price or experience. We even had a minke whale say hello to us less than 20' from the boat. Super Cool experience to add to the day. Cpt Eric is a consummate professional, knows his stuff, helps everyone who needs it, and doesn't mind untangling your lines. ( at least he smiled while unwrapping our lines) The whole process of chartering 2 different size groups for 2 different days was made super easy by Mary. One call did it all. Payment is cash or charge card, finding the meet up location was a breeze, having our fish cleaned and then taken next door to Tanners for vac sealing and flash freezing made this year's Halibut trip A+++++. After 20+ years of looking for a halibut charter I can come back to year after year, I have to admit, I think I have found my new home for years to come. Thank you so much for providing me, my family and my friends a great fishing experience.

I took my wife and three kids fishing for the first time deep-sea for halibut. He was accommodating from the very start all the way to the finish. He made sure everyone felt safe and confident.

I've been on a few fishing charters over the years, but this was by far the best fishing charter I've ever been on. It was just my wife and I on the charter that day, but the boat was big enough for a few more folks. I guess we got lucky. The owner and captain, Ethan, did an outstanding job of making our fishing trip a memorable experience. Not only is he a nice guy, but he knows how to find the fish. I felt like he went the "extra mile" to make sure we were satisfied with the catch. We caught about a dozen halibut between my wife and I, and Ethan knew which ones to keep and which ones to let go in order to maximize the two allowable halibut per person which the Alaskan fishing license allows. The boat was clean and comfortable, and all the equipment seemed to be relatively new and in good condition. The high level of customer service started even before we got on the boat. He was quick to respond to our many questions regarding the charter through emails and phone calls prior to our fishing trip. Harder's Charters is definitely worthy of the coveted Yelp Five Star rating.

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.

What a great group of people--knowledgeable, friendly, and incredibly professional. I'll definitely be booking again!

I had the weekend off, and decided to head to Homer for a mid-winter boondoggle. Fortunately,…read moreBrooks had room for me on the boat for a winter king salmon fishing trip. There were just two other clients, and we quickly settled in for a one hour ride to the hot spot. The seas were rough, and we ended up in the lee of the islands across from the Homer Spit. We quickly boated a few smaller kings, then nailed a nice 20 pounder. Deckhand Cody worked like a maniac to keep five rigs in the water at all times. He changed up the gear multiple times to pinpoint what the fish were hungry for. Three limits of winter kings later, we sailed back to port. If you are looking for a quality fishing trip at any time of the year, look no further. BAA will be fishing winter kings until April, then switching to combo halibut trips starting in June. I highly recommend Josh and his crew.
