Our Story

From a Weekend Boat to a Life on the Water

What began as a weekend escape more than twenty years ago turned into a lifelong calling. JoAnn and Mark never planned to start a charter company; they simply loved sharing the magic of Alaska’s waters with friends and family.
That passion eventually became Oasis Alaska Charters, a small family business with a big heart. Built on care, laughter, and the joy of seeing someone reel in their first halibut, it’s grown into one of Ketchikan’s most trusted charters. Every trip still carries the same spirit that started it all – personal, local, and guided by a love for life on the water.

Our Fleet

The Oasis

A 27’ SeaSport built for comfort and stability. Outfitted with top-tier Garmin electronics, a heated cabin, and a head on board. Perfect for calm rides and serious catches.

REEL Therapy

Our 30’ Kodiak Boulton twin Honda 250 outboards beauty. She’s fast, quiet, and packed with pro gear. It’s got four electric Scotty downriggers, satellite radio, and plenty of room to reel and relax.

Predator

An aluminum ACB twin-engine workhorse. Agile, safe, and built to slice through rougher seas with ease. When the fish run deep, this is the boat you want to be on.
