What We Will Do
Hit the weight room lately? If not you may want to before dropping your line deep for this infamously large flat-bottom fish, the Pacific Halibut. These barn doors range between 10-400+ pounds. Every summer they rise from ocean depths of over 1,000 feet to as little as 50 feet in search of bait fish to feast on in our local waters. Once hooked, these strong swimmers can provide a great challenge as they fight you back to the bottom. Depending on where the halibut is, we typically fish in depths ranging from 100-400 feet. It’s also possible to pick up rockfish, cod, flounder, and other fun creatures while fishing at these depths. The regulations for the size and amount of halibut each person is allowed to retain on a charter change each year. Let us take you 49 Fathoms deep, just for the halibut.

About Us
49th Fathom Charters is located in the beautiful capital city of Juneau, Alaska.
No trip to Southeast Alaska would be complete without looking deeper into the natural beauty that surrounds this city, above and below sea level. From the gorgeous glaciers and mountains above, to the majestic whales and feisty fish that swim below, our personal charters are sure to fulfill everyone's wish list.
Departing out of Auke Bay Harbor, about 15 miles Northwest of downtown Juneau, allows us to get you out on the water quicker. From here we will be journeying through the protected waters of Alaska's well-known Inside Passage, which provides some of the world's greatest sportfishing and whale watching without the uncomfortable swells of the open ocean.
This is it, our playground and the place where I call home. I would love the opportunity to take you 49 Fathoms deeper, showing you why there is no other place in the world I would rather play.

Juneau Whale Watching and Wildlife Viewing
Did you know that Juneau is among the world's top destination for whale watching? Primarily a summer habitat for humpback whales, who feed in the nutrient rich waters of Southeast Alaska, orca whales also can be seen traveling the coastal waters. This is a small group whale watching experience for up to 6 guests. After pickup at your cruise ship or hotel, we will drive 15 minutes north of downtown Juneau to our small harbor in Auke Bay. Spend the next several hours exploring the waterways of the Gastineau Channel in search of humpback and orca whales.
Salmon Fishing Charter
There’s nothing like the sound of a screaming reel and a bent-over rod as a King Salmon dives deeper, you’re hooked up! And from this point on, it’s likely your hooked on salmon fishing in Alaska. Our light tackle gear will give you the fight of a lifetime no matter what species of salmon is on the end of your line. In May/June we are typically targeting the King (Chinook) Salmon, the largest of all the salmon who put up quite the fight. During the months of July and August, our focus is likely to be the Coho (Silver) Salmon. These silver bullets are sure to put even the most experienced anglers to the test. Often darting rapidly and jumping out of the water, they never give up without a fun fight. It’s not uncommon to hook into two, three, or more simultaneously, creating what we like to call organized chaos. While hooking these Cohos may seem like the only task, getting these fish netted and into the boat before they shake your hook is an even greater challenge. And that’s how we troll, at 49th Fathom Charters.

Tracy Arm Fjord & Glacier Explorer
Travel by deluxe jetboat to explore the very best of the Tracy Arm Wilderness Area, including exciting close-up views of the majestic Sawyer Glaciers. Relax in the warm, spacious cabin as your experienced captain guides you through scenic passages and into the heart of a wild place that has, until recently, been buried for centuries by glacial ice. Here, the extraordinary maneuverability of the Katlian Express will allow you to glide quietly past curious seals and icebergs – to get as close as possible to the ever-changing face of South Sawyer Glacier. Be sure to spend as much time as possible on the topside observation deck where you can enjoy this unforgettable experience with all your senses. At times, you can even feel the “white thunder” as immense spires of ice break from the glacier and crash into the sea. Before departing the ice pack you will also view beautiful North Sawyer Glacier, which cannot be approached by large cruise ships. While exploring the length of this ice-carved fjord you will cruise beneath cliffs that rise 4000-feet above the jade-colored sea, and you can even feel the mist on your face as the vessel glides near a plunging waterfall. There will be stops along the way to view and photograph wildlife, such as Bald Eagles, Harbor Seals and Mountain Goats. Encounters with bears and whales are not uncommon. Throughout the voyage, your onboard naturalist will provide a wealth of information about the area, which naturalist John Muir called “one of the most dramatically stunning fjords of Southeast Alaska”. You’ll also enjoy a picnic-style meal and a variety of complimentary snacks and beverages served by your friendly Alaskan crew as you trace the rugged shores of Stephens Passage on the cruise north to Juneau. *Tour highlights: -Live your Alaskan dreams on this cruise exploration of the spectacular Tracy Arm Wilderness Area, including exciting up-close views of the dynamic Twin Sawyer Glaciers! -The exceptional agility of our vessel will allow you to have an in-depth exploration of this amazing fjord, plus close views of the glaciers that your cruise ship cannot provide! -Your Captain will make many detours and stops, allowing you incredible opportunities to view and photograph cobalt-blue icebergs, spectacular cliffs, 1000-foot waterfalls & abundant wildlife!

Explore the moonscape-like area of the glacier all by foot and get panoramic views of Norris and Taku glaciers. Look for crevasses, glacier pools, moulins, and other incredible ice features.
