Meet the 4 C’s: Safe, Comfortable, and Built for Alaska.
The Boat – The 4 C’s
Welcome aboard the 4 C’s Fishing Charter, where we provide top-tier gear for your Ketchikan adventure.Our fishing vessel, the 4 C’s, is a 27-foot Sea Sport built for the coastal waters of Southeast Alaska. She provides a stable and comfortable platform for fishing the productive waters around Ketchikan.
Built for the Alaska Inside Passage The design of the 4 C’s Fishing Charter vessel is specifically chosen for the unique conditions of Ketchikan. Being a 27-foot Sea Sport, it features a deep-V hull that cuts through the chop of the Clarence Strait, ensuring that your ride to the fishing grounds is as smooth as possible.
On the 4 C’s Fishing Charter, we don’t just focus on the fishing; we focus on the total experience. The enclosed, heated cabin is a game-changer for those misty Southeast Alaska mornings, allowing you to stay warm and dry between bites. Whether we are chasing King Salmon near Mountain Point or heading out for Silvers, the 4 C’s Fishing Charter provides the stability and safety that only a true Alaskan-built boat can offer.
Twin 250 hp Yamaha Outboards on the 4 C’s Charter Boat
In 2022 the 4 C's Fishing Charter boat was repowered with twin 250 hp Yamaha outboards, along with a 9.9 hp Yamaha trolling motor used for slow trolling when targeting salmon. This setup allows us to travel quickly to the fishing grounds while also maintaining precise boat control when working productive fishing areas.

Expert Guidance & Premium Gear
Fishing success in Southeast Alaska comes down to two things: the right equipment and a lifetime of local knowledge. Every trip aboard the 4 C’s Fishing Charter is planned around the tides, seasonal fish movements, and the productive local waters I’ve fished for over 45 years. We provide top-tier Shimano reels and rods specifically selected for the power of an Alaskan King Salmon.
