DoubleTake Charters is a local father-daughter (captain and deckhand) operated Ketchikan charter with a lifetime of salmon fishing experience. We take great pride in providing exceptionally personalized fishing experiences with the most fun captain and deckhand in the business. Our focus on private small group and family charters ensures a fun, custom, and memorable day on the water for everyone who joins us.
Our 24 foot Trophy cabin cruiser has a spacious fishing deck for the fishing action, and a dinette table with seating inside the cabin to keep you out of any "liquid sunshine". Play your own music selection on the stereo, sit and relax at the dinette table, and enjoy the availability of an indoor, private, enclosed flushing toilet (something you won't find on most smaller fishing boats).
Powered by a Volvo Penta 300, the heavy fiberglass deep-V hull cuts any waves to get you there comfortably. (Though much of the best fishing occurs within a few miles of our secluded harbor.)
Our harbor is only a few hundred yards from the fish hatchery creek and some prime salmon-trolling grounds, so we waste no time getting there. Due to our location, our "run out" from the harbor is usually beteween 1 and 5 minutes to the fishing grounds, giving you additional fishing time.
If you're coming in off a cruise ship or staying locally, we'll pick you up from town, and the ride to the harbor actually becomes a driving tour of the "south end" of the island to get to our secluded harbor. Many visitors pay a couple hundred dollars just to get on a tour bus/van/trolley and go for the same ride!
The drive can go through the totem park and past bald eagle nesting if you like, and it ends at the famous Herring Cove fish and bear viewing bridge, which is right by our harbor! Our harbor is appropriately named "Hole in the Wall" harbor and features a classic Alaskan dockside bar and grill, which often has local live music. We can stop in before, after, and even during our trip for a drink, burger, and some local flavor.
Besides the fish, marine life is a frequent bonus of the fishing grounds. Humpback Whales, Orcas, Porpoises, Sea Lions, and Seals are commonly seen while fishing. Bald eagles are literally a guarantee.
A lifetime of fishing with our own kids, our friends kids, and our kids friends has made kid-friendly fishing our superpower. Our deckhand also doubles as an onboard babysitter to entertain the young'uns and prevent them from ever asking "can we go back now".
The dinette table is perfect for board games, cards, coloring books, art projects etc. The Cuddy-cabin below deck is even available for naps and has held many a pack-and-play for tired mini-fishermen. Kids discounts are also available.
We pledge to get you the best on the water experience at the best rate for your group. Please reach out if you have any questions or special considerations and we can customize your trip and get you the best rates.
