My wife and I fished for 12 hours and had a marvellous Alaska Fishing Experience!

Halibut, salmon and cod will grace our table for months to come.

A very comfortable and fun trip start to finish. Owner operated and guided. Knowledgable, professional and caring.

We would strongly recommend. The highlight of our Juneau adventure!

I was trying to find the best local charter to host a couple of friends visiting Juneau this summer. Not as a tourist, but as a resident. I had two trips with them and both were equally amazing! Duane and Nick are on point! These guys know all of the spots and do what it takes to get you as many bites as possible every time! Great gear, down to earth people, and know what’s hitting and where. They have everything ready for you. All you have to do is hook them and reel! It turned out that I also know a couple of folks in town that hunt and fish with these guys regularly. They affirmed I had booked with Juneau's best captains. These guys take pride in doing things the right way (saftey, regulations, spending more on fuel to get you to and keep you in the right spots to fish). The fish we caught more than paid for the trip at fair market value. I was a local looking for the best local service. I succeeded. I have a full freezer and great memories with friends. I would reccomend these guys to anyone!

We had an amazing time. Captain Duane and Captain Nick were wonderful hosts and very accommodating. Duane and Nick provided soda, snacks, and sandwiches, and we were allowed to bring drinks and snacks of our own. They were knowledgeable, engaging, and really patient with our kids (12, 11, 5). We learned so much. They took the time to explain anything we asked about. I grew up in Juneau and fished quite a bit off the shore, but never out on a charter. This was an experience that was well worth what we spent and one my spouse and kids won't soon forget. We'll be back when my 2yr old boy is old enough to share it with us. Thank you both so much.

Captain Nick and Duane were great purveyors of information! We thoroughly enjoyed the discussions, information about the area and the fishing experience. What we loved the most was the CLEAN conditions we had on this charter. We caught halibut, salmon and saw whales, with one breaching near us! Totally awesome day for sure!

We had a great day on the boat and a fun day fishing! We were a little early for the season, but we still had an amazing day. Both captains were great and super helpful and encouraging. I would highly recommend booking a trip with them!

Spent a day with Captains Duane and Nick and had a great time! Saw whales and orca, caught some fish and saw some beautiful scenery. Highly recommend them if you are thinking about fishing or whale watching in the Juneau area.

From our first call to Captain Duane, I knew we had picked the right guy to charter with.
Both the Captain and deckhand John were friendly, professional and respectful the entire trip. They explained the gear and described exactly how to fish for what we were after.
They got us on the halibut immediately and we limited out before the trip was a couple hours old. We then ran to a different spot and fished for awesome Rockfish til our arms were tired!
We finished by following a group of whales for some great pictures.
If you are looking for a true Alaska experience, don't waste your time with anyone but Best Damn Charters!!

Duane and John provided great fishing spots for Halibut and Rockfish. We caught our limit of both in a short amount of time. On top of that they took us by a great spot for whale watching and saw multiple whales. They cleaned the fish and took care of getting them shipped home for us. Would highly recommend Best Damn Charters!

Starting off right away Captain Nic and his mate Jon were amazing. They took us right to the best damn spot* and were catching Halibut right away. Super Friendly. So much fun. Once we caught our limit of Halibut we were off to another fishing spot. On the way we were able to stop, whale watch, see whales, then off to next stop. Once we got to next stop we were able to bring Rock Fish and others with in minutes and they were flying in the boat so fast that the people fishing were catching so fast the mate almost couldn't keep up. But he did. They were throwing them in the live well so fast and were having such a great time. So much knowledge and fun. You could tell you were in great hands and they took great care of us all. If you are looking for a great fishing trip and great friendly leaders to learn and catch fish. This is your stop. So much fun!!!!!

We went with Captain Duane and deckhand Amy and had a great time. I caught a halibut and my husband caught a nice salmon. Was a beautiful day on the water and we enjoyed their professionalism and company. They did everything to ensure we caught fish. Do go with them if you want to fish in Juneau
