If you’ve ever dreamed of catching one of Alaska’s legendary halibut, there’s no better place than Homer the Halibut Capital of the World.
Our Halibut Charters offer an unforgettable day on the water aboard our 29-foot North River boat, complete with a heated cabin and private restroom for your comfort.
With experienced captains, top-quality gear, and some of the most productive fishing grounds in Alaska, you’ll have every opportunity to bring home a trophy fish or a full freezer.
Our Halibut Only Charter focuses entirely on chasing Pacific Halibut the flat that made Homer famous.
Trips run May 15 through September 30, with prime fishing between mid-June and late August.
You’ll meet your captain and crew at Homer Harbor in the morning. After a quick safety talk and orientation, we’ll head out toward Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet usually less than an hour’s run to reach productive halibut grounds.
Once on the spot, we’ll drop baited circle hooks and wait for that unmistakable tap-tap-thump of a halibut bite. When it’s time to reel in, you’ll feel the full power of Alaska’s most famous bottom fish.
Our crew provides everything you need bait, gear, and tackle along with guidance on proper technique. Whether it’s your first halibut trip or your tenth, we’ll make sure you get the most out of your time on the water.
Years of local knowledge mean we know where the fish are and how to catch them.
Our 29-foot North River includes a heated cabin and private restroom — a rare perk on six-pack boats.
With a 6-passenger maximum, you’ll get plenty of personal attention and fishing time.
Enjoy the views of snow-capped mountains, sea otters, puffins, and sometimes whales or orcas as you fish.
If your group wants a mix of species, check out our Multi-Species Charters or Halibut & Salmon Charters.
While halibut can be caught throughout the summer, the peak season runs from June through August, when weather and tides align for the best action. Early and late season (May and September) often produce fewer boats on the water and lighter crowds at the harbor great options for those looking for a quieter experience.
At the dock, your deckhand will fillet and bag your catch for you. Local fish processors in Homer can vacuum seal, freeze, and ship your halibut home making it easy to enjoy your fresh Alaskan catch long after your trip.
Join Bad Chicken Charters for a day of world-class halibut fishing on the beautiful waters of Kachemak Bay and Cook Inlet.
Trips fill quickly during peak season, so we recommend booking early.
