Ketchikan Crab Tours take place in calm Alaskan waters. Specifically designed for the families and friends visiting Alaska who want to avoid rough waters.  
 

Short runs to the crab grounds from downtown Ketchikan means you  immediately embark on an exclusive whale watching and wildlife viewing safari. On the way to the crab and salmon grounds you’ll have an opportunity to see humpback whales, orcas, harbor seals and eagles.  

Drop your very own crab pots in Alaska! We walk you through the entire process.

In the meantime while your crab pot soaks and attracts multiple bottom  species. We take you fishing for Alaskan wild salmon or rockfish. This provides adequate soak time to maximize your catch, all the while enjoying the world class Alaska fishing grounds. 

Your Fresh Alaska Fish Processed And Shipped

Enjoy the bounty of your Alaska catch around the dinner table with family and friends. Your fish will be professionally processed and shipped to your doorstep.

Note, all crabs and crabbing portions are purely experience based. Ketchikan processors do not offer processing services for crabs.

Ketchikan Crab Tour was established to offer an interactive, engaging, and fun filled tour for visitors to Alaska. Founded by experienced Ketchikan fishing captains. Ketchikan Crab Tour encompasses the entire fishery with an experience based Alaska adventure. Not only do you get to experience the best in crabbing and fishing but there’s also whale watching, wildlife viewing and eagle feeding included. That’s what makes our tours an all-in-one experience that isn’t offered anywhere else.

Experience matters and our veteran captains know how to offer a world class experience for all visitors. For these reasons the origins of the Ketchikan Crab Tour were born. Providing exclusive five star rated Ketchikan fishing charters showed that there was more to offer than halibut and salmon fishing in Ketchikan. The delight and thrill of watching families pull their very own crab pots in the scenic Alaska waters is priceless. Pairing the crab tour experience with the phenomenal salmon and rockfish fishing makes for an incredible experience.
