Juneau Charters is a locally owned charter and boat rental company based in Juneau, Alaska. The company provides guided fishing charters, whale-watching excursions, and self-guided boat rentals aboard well-maintained vessels including a 26' North River Seahawk (Scavenger), a 22' Hewescraft Nomad, and a 23' Sea Pro (REEL FISH). Guided options include salmon fishing, halibut fishing, salmon/halibut combo trips, private charters, and dedicated whale-watching tours tailored for cruise ship passengers and time-sensitive schedules. Trips are offered in multiple durations—4-hour, 6-hour, and 8-hour fishing itineraries and 2.5- or 4-hour whale-watching trips—designed to maximize time on productive waters while returning passengers to port on schedule.
Local, licensed guides lead the guided trips and prioritize safety, fishery regulations, and sustainable practices. Boats receive regular maintenance and safety checks; life jackets and required safety gear are provided for all passengers. Rental boats come equipped with comfortable seating, enclosed cabins, and features suited to multi-day camping or overnight travel on the Scavenger and Nomad. Booking options include private charters and hourly rentals, with clear pricing and scheduling for cruise visitors.
Juneau Charters emphasizes punctual shore transfers, experienced local knowledge of fishing grounds and whale routes, and transparent communication during booking. The company's reputation is built on reliable vessels, knowledgeable guides, and a focus on delivering memorable, time-efficient adventures in Alaska's Inside Passage. Guides also share local marine ecology and practical fishing techniques to improve success and enjoyment. Private charters keep groups focused and on-time for cruise itineraries, while self-guided rentals allow independent exploration of Juneau's waters.
