Captain William is the proud owner of Alaska King Charters. With 35 years of experience in the wilderness, he currently works as a commercial fisherman during the winter and runs his charter boat service during the summer. William has a great love for nature and for the beauty that surrounds him. He enjoys the opportunity to share his little slice of heaven with his clientele, giving them an unforgettable experience.
Captain Kevin grew up in coastal Washington and first visited Ketchikan on a family cruise over 20 years ago. Already obsessed with fishing at 12 years old, he knew the Salmon Capital of the World was where he belonged and later moved there after college. Now a full time resident and USCG captain, he spends summers chasing salmon and halibut in SE Alaska, while winters bring commercial fishing and wildlife capture work.
Justin is a captain who has fished all types of waters, starting his charter journey in Marathon, Florida before making his way to Alaska. He is a blast to have on board and will keep everyone laughing.
Captain Moses is an Alaska Native American who has lived in Alaska his entire life. Fishing and hunting are part of his background, and growing up on fishing boats with his dad has given him extensive knowledge of the waters and the long history Alaska has to offer.
Meet Cho, our talented four legged deckhand. He's always ready to lend a paw, from untangling lines to baiting hooks. Cho even has his own special spot on the deck where he keeps an eye out for fish.
