The Rush of the Run: Salmon Fishing in Ketchikan

When the salmon run, the whole ocean comes alive. Lines tighten, reels scream, and time disappears in the thrill of the fight. This is what Ketchikan is famous for, and for good reason.

Our private salmon charters take you where the action’s thickest. Troll through Clover Pass and watch as silver, pink, chum, and king salmon flash beneath the surface. Fast, fierce, and full of heart, Alaska’s most iconic catch awaits.

Why Salmon Seekers Choose Us

We Fish Where They Feed

Our captains don’t chase rumors; they track tides, bait, and migration patterns daily. You’ll be trolling where the salmon actually are, not where they were yesterday.

Smooth, Steady, and Safe

Our boats are tuned for Alaska’s changing seas. Heated cabins, modern sonar, and clean decks mean your focus stays on the fish instead of the forecast.

Short Trips, Big Results

Even on a 4-hour cruise-window salmon charter, you’ll spend most of your time fishing, not running. That’s the Oasis advantage: more rod time, more action, more memories.
