Salmon Fishing in Ketchikan, Alaska

A 25-30 minute narrated bus tour along the Tongass Narrows followed by 4 hours of salmon fishing in sheltered waters - what a great way to experience Ketchikan, the Salmon Capital of the World! Historic Knudson Cove Marina, the Salmon Capital of Ketchikan, offers you this unique opportunity.

We relish the opportunity to show you, your family, and your friends the breathtaking beauty of Ketchikan from our "local viewpoint" - on the water, pursuing the King, silver, pink, and chum salmon runs that abound in the sheltered waters of Clover Passage. During your 4 hours on a charter boat carrying only 4 - 6 passengers, enjoy the hospitality of your experienced, Coast Guard-licensed captain (who, most likely, is a lifelong resident of Ketchikan) as well as the delicious snack of smoked salmon he prepares for you. Glimpses of our local mammals and birds - whales, seals, sea otter, porpoise, sea lions - may also be on the agenda; don't be surprised when a majestic bald eagle swoops down near your boat, fishing for its own catch of the day and allowing you a stellar photo opportunity.

Mandatory fishing licenses and king salmon tags are purchased directly from your captain. While rain gear is provided, we ask that you please wear deck or rubber-soled shoes and dress warmly. You may choose to catch and release all day, or have your catch processed and shipped home for an additional fee. Nothing beats a day fishing - except, maybe, the incredible photos and delectable salmon you share with your family and friends when you return home.
