A-ward Charters of
Homer, Alaska provides you with the best halibut fishing charter in all of Alaska, operating from the Homer Small Boat Harbor located in
Homer, Alaska. We do our fishing in Kachemak Bay, Cook Inlet, and the Gulf of Alaska.
We run daily halibut fishing trips for up to six persons aboard our
28 foot Bertram.
All fishing gear, tackle, and instruction are top quality and we make it
fun. A-ward Charters is a family run business, Dad being your
captain, Mom taking care of onshore operations and our daughter
was the deck hand until she grew up and moved on. We are Alaskans full time because we love it here, and we love sharing this part of Alaska with others.
We have a very good
catch record and a long history of fishing for
halibut so we know how to get you onto the very best fishing. We have computerized our
fishing records so we know where to fish and, along with the fine electronics onboard
we can pinpoint the best producing areas. Our vessel is also equipped with the latest in fish finding electronics as well as
state-of-the art communication gear which we use to keep in contact with other vessels. Our
halibut fishing grounds encompass more than 2500 square miles with a wide variety of fishing conditions.
The
U. S. Coast Guard 5 Star Safety Program
is a voluntary safety program designed to increase safety aboard uninspected
charter boats operating throughout the state of Alaska.
Our boat "NO PROBLEM" was the first boat to qualify for this program and
was issued decal number 0001. The program requires that we meet all required
safety features and the boat's equipment is all operating properly. We earned
the 5 STAR rating by having additional safety equipment onboard including the
following:
- High capacity bilge pumps
-
High water bilge alarms
-
Handheld VHF radio for emergency communications
-
Mounted and registered 406 MHz Emergency Position
Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB)
