WHY BOOK WITH US?

Because we’re awesome! But in all seriousness, it’s Alaska, and every single day there are many factors to consider. Our captains are top notch. They are constantly studying weather, tides, and fishing patterns to get you on the best fishing. Our vessels are recently built aluminum hulls, and we use up-to-date fishing equipment of all varieties to target our many different fish to ensure a successful trip for you and your crew. 

Our location, in rugged Homer, Alaska, is a place like nowhere else on Earth. Cast one look at the deep blue waves of Cook Inlet and Halibut Cove that glitter like thousands of perfect sapphires and you’ll see that they’re teeming with life: halibut, salmon, and rockfish abound in these waters! After all, Homer is the Halibut Fishing Capital of the World!

OUR VESSELS


M/V EARLY RISER

CAPTAINED BY JOSH

Known as one of the largest heavy-gauge aluminum boat manufacturers in the United States, North River boats combine superb craftsmanship and passion with the best materials and equipment to produce products that consistently exceed customer expectations.


M/V BAIT BALL

CAPTAINED BY JORDAN


Adding competition to the North River is the Raider Boat. Known for their engineered stringer grid system, Raider boats offers superior substructure for unparalleled hull strength.



This was the best fishing charter that I have ever gone out on.  The boat was comfortable.  The crew was knowledgeable and very helpful.  They took time to demonstrate the technique for hooking a halibut.  Definitely the friendliest crew that I have ever met.  Everything was set up so professionally.  We watched the crew filet the fish and they had a local fish packing company available when the boat arrived back in port to collect the fish if you wished to have them prepared for shipping.  I highly recommend Big Butt charters and Captain Jordan Cox. - Michael, San Jose, CA
