About This Tour
You select any start-time between: 6:00am - 4:00pm, and you pick your our return time as well. We can fish until you don't want to fish anymore and then return to dock or tour around the beautiful Sitka Sound for amazing views and marine life. Over 4-hrs extra charges apply. Outer Coast Charters is located out of Sitka on the western side of Baranof Island, in beautiful Southeast Alaska. We are owned and operated by year-round resident, adventure outfitter, and fishing fanatic Captain Christopher Paul Jones. He states, "There's no place I'd rather be or explore than Southeast Alaska. Here we have the bounty of the Pacific Ocean at our doorstep with over 18,000 miles of coastline encompassing the Tongass National Forest, the largest temperate rain forest in the northern hemisphere. Our mission is to provide our guests with the greatest sea and coastal adventures out there while providing added safety as we explore one of the most beautiful places on the edges of the earth."
