Ketchikan, Alaska
5.0 · 16 reviews on Viator
While most charter boats in Ketchikan are 24 feet long and 8 feet wide, you'll be cruising on THE FOUR FINS, a 37 foot-long, 12-foot wide beauty of a vessel built right here in Ketchikan, with tons of forward deck space, a large, spacious cabin, and ample room on the rear deck for all parties while fishing. Captain Jack is not just an expert fishing guide and year-round local: he's a consummate host, who is eager to show off his hometown and to help you have a great time, all while he puts you on the fish. And while all parties are welcome, Jack had this boat built to be fully accessible, for wheelchairs, power chairs, walkers, and scooters. There is also adaptive fishing gear on board, like wrist braces and grasping cuffs for those with limited use of their upper extremities. Captain Jack is also a certified autism specialist through IBCCES.
“We have adaptive fishing gear, such as grasping cuffs and wheelchair-mountable rod holders.”
