Summer charters meet at 6:30 AM at the boat in Homer Harbor. Winter charter times fluctuate based on available daylight — your captain will confirm exact times when you book.
Dressing in layers is the key to staying comfortable. Typical attire looks like a moisture wicking t-shirt or long sleeve, with a fleece or sweater, topped with a waterproof/wind resistant layer. For bottoms, leggings or hiking pants should do just fine although water resistant or a water proof layer is best. Sometimes, it can get a bit messy on the deck, which means a successful trip! Bring your own seasickness medication if you're prone, sunscreen, snacks, and a camera! We provide all the fishing gear.
Weather can be lots of things day to day. Our captains make 95% of weather calls the morning of your charter based on the most current weather information. If the forecast is bad enough, on rare occasions, we’ll call the trip the night before. Please keep in mind that our captains have different locations that can be fished depending on the weather patterns. All trips cancelled by your captain due to weather are fully refundable.
Your catch is filleted for free by Buttwhackers (located by Ramp 1). Fish haulers grab the catch directly from the boat.
For additional processing, Homer Fish Processing (HFP) picks up directly from Buttwhackers for vacuum sealing, flash freezing, and overnight shipping. Rates run $1.35/lb for same-day refrigerated, $1.65/lb for frozen (2 days), and $1.85/lb for next-day flash frozen. Skin removal is also available for $0.25/lb.
Want to eat your catch right away? Captain Patties and Harbor Grill will cook your fresh fillets!
