Homer, Alaska Fishing Rates

Day Rates 2024: Not including tax or gratuity

Our Charter Rates parallel our local cost for diesel fuel. In years past, crude oil prices escalated to extreme, and drove local fuel providers to charge us proportionally. We did impose a fuel surcharge one year to meet the excessive fuel prices. We hope we never have do that again. But, we alert our clients that it does remain a possibility …..  We will never use a published low fee to attract new guests and then compromise our service to balance the books.
