Have you been looking for the BEST fishing lodge in Alaska?
Highliner Lodge & Charters is the one remote Alaska fishing destination with the HIGHEST catch rates and the LARGEST halibut... and we can PROVE IT!
Highliner Lodge All-Inclusive Fishing Vacations
Our multi-day fishing packages include:
- Round-trip transportation from Juneau, AK by seaplane or high-speed ferry 'MV Highliner Express'
- Fully-guided 10+ hour days of multi-species fishing or sightseeing adventures
- Delicious meals prepared by our chef (breakfast, packed lunch, pre-dinner appetizer, and several course plated dinner)
- Professional-grade fish processing
- Quality rain gear, fishing gear, bait and tackle (travel light and expect to bring lots of fish home!)
- Comfortable double-occupancy rooms that can be upgraded to a suite or house
- Spacious and well-equipped fishing boats (30-50' in length), with options for groups up to 6 guests to fish together.
Target Species
King (Chinook) Salmon
Pacific Halibut
Silver (Coho) Salmon
Lingcod
Rockfish (Multiple Species)
Sablefish (Black Cod)
We catch king salmon, silver salmon, halibut, and various other species all in the same day! The Highliner Lodge offers access to the most productive and unexploited sport-fishing in Alaska. Nowhere else in Alaska (or the world) can you find such an abundance of sport fish!
If you think that this is just more of the usual unsubstantiated and outlandish claims that all so-called "sport fishing lodges" make… please do yourself a favor and carefully read the catch rates page of our website. I am confident that you will find compelling evidence that our claims are fully justified and that you will choose the Highliner Lodge as your next sport fishing destination!
We had an unbelievable experience at the Highliner!! My dad and I went to celebrate his 76th birthday. This lodge is in Pelican, AK, and it's a pretty remote setting. It's only accesible by ferry or seaplane. The entire town is built on a boardwalk, and there are no roads. The modes of transporation around Pelican are walking, ATVs or golf carts.
Everyone at the Highliner was fantastic to interact with. From the lodge staff, to the chefs and kitchen crew, to the captains and crews and the guys working in the fish house. The dinners at the lodge were excellent, Chef Adam is talented!!
Even the folks at Rosie's Bar (the one bar in town), were amazing to talk to and super friendly. The people made the experience wonderful.
Expect full days of fishing. Breakfast is at 530am and by 630am you are on the boat heading out for the day. You can expect to fish for halibut, a variety of salmon, ling and black cod, as well as rock fish. Depending on how the day goes, you can expect to fish until 4 or later. They are full days of fishing. In 4 days, my dad and I came back with 150 lbs. of filet weight. Professionally cleaned, vacuum packed and frozen the nigth you catch it. It will corrupt your palate for grocery bought fish!! If you like to fish and are looking for an excellent and turn key experience, we would highly recommend the Highliner!!

I have fished and hunted with several outfitters but none of them compare with Highliner Lodge. From when they pick you up to when you are sent home the experience is amazing. The support staff preparing your meals and serving you , the fishing captains are knowledgeable and professional. Our captain Drew was amazing. We caught two Halibut that weighed over 100 lbs ! The fish cleaning and processing staff are first class . There are simply no suggestions that I could make to improve the service that they provide. It’s like the old saying “ you get what you pay for “ . If you what to fish with a group that makes you feel special then please give Highliner Lodge a try . You will not regret the decision .
Highliner Lodge was one of the best vacation we ever had. Food and rooms were great and the fishing was awesome. Everything is well organized and streamlined. From breakfast in the morning till dinner at night. We will defiantly be back.

Qualification: I am NOT a fisherman. This was my first experience of this type of vacation and I am HOOKED! The fishing was awesome, the captains were all fantastic and helped this novice learn the ropes, REEL, REEL!! The staff from check-in, rooms, laundry, gear, and chefs were all top notch; professional, helpful and willing to bend over backwards to assist with any request. The food was wonderful with the dinners being exceptional. We were well taken care of. Did I mention we caught LOTS of fish! Thank you to all the staff and to Captain Steve for making this a memory of a life time! PS: planning on more memories next year!
There are not enough words to describe the experience we had there. The rooms were clean and tidy. The location was spot on to everything we needed. The service was excellent. The staff here was amazing. Can't thank you enough for ALL that you did to make our fishing trip the greatest. Friendly and very helpful. The food was 10++++++++++++++++ The whole experience was a game changer. Highly recommend the Highliner Lodge
We made a trip to Highliner Lodge the middle of June this year and the fishing was wonderful. Robert was our guide and he worked his butt off to find us fish and he came through. We came home after three days with over 80#s of fish. The whole experience was wonderful from the people the accommodations and the delicious food. This place is worth the trip.
A huge shout out to the Highliner Lodge and Charter for an incredible 4 days of semi-private all-inclusive Alaska fishing experience. It was hard won fun at its best.
Capt. Chris was not only knowledgeable in where to find the best fish, but also concerned with our wellbeing, and a strong desire to make sure we had a great time no matter what the elements threw at us.
The rest of the staff, as well as the residents of Pelican were some of the nicest people
I ever met in all my travels.
I can’t thank enough, Dylan and Abby for all you did for us! You made everything perfect in every way.
If you’ve ever wanted to do an Alaska Fishing Trip, do not hesitate to book with Highliner! Excellent product and service.

Highliner lodge, located in Pelican Alaska is an all inclusive lodge. It is by far the best fishing 🎣 lodge that I have ever used. It has one of the best success rates in the state 🐟🎣👌 The captains are experienced, very courteous, helpful and knowledgeable of the area. The rooms are great! The food is amazing. The boats 🚢 are very nice, and they keep adding new ones. I highly recommend Highliner Lodge. So check them out. 👍😉🎣🐟
Fishing Alaska has always been on my “To do bucket list”, so I started doing research on Alaska Outfitters. Upon days and days of searching I found the Highliner Lodge in Pelican city, Alaska website. I must say that I was impressed with what I saw and read. I inquired for information and I almost immediately received communication from Dylan Grafe. He was very informative and has a wealth of knowledge.
My wife and I went Highliner Lodge in June-2024, upon arriving at Pelican City, I was overwhelmed with the beautiful scenery. Abbie Gustafson met us at the plane and greeted calling us by name. This was so impressive to me. We were escorted up to the lodge and our rain gear was set out for us with our name tags on them and then we were shown to our room.
The dinners and breakfasts were absolutely delicious, also my wife was treated with food that she preferred, and she enjoyed the one-on-one catering to her. The staff is phenomenal, and they are so helpful, friendly, and considerate. Our laundry was cleaned while we were fishing and was returned to our room before we came back from fishing.
Our Captain/Guide was absolutely amazing. He really took care of me as I am disabled and required help. His knowledge of the water and location of all the species of fish was very impressive. All four of us fishermen caught our limits of all available species of fish every day. His boat was of the highest quality I have ever seen.
I strongly encourage everyone looking for experience of a lifetime, book a memory with the Highliner Lodge.

Guides/boat captains are outstanding. GAF option is perfect when that big halibut is caught. Also nice option to area 3a for more generous halibut limits. Rooms and meals are very nice. Staff are friendly, very helpful and efficient. Second year here, returning next year.
Our trip to the Highliner Lodge was a memorable once in a lifetime few days. The entire staff is friendly, extremely professional, and put forth a great effort to ensure a safe, exciting, and fun time. Our Capt Zack was wonderful. The accommodations are super clean and the meals made at the lodge each night are great. Our fish(lots) was professionally packed and getting it home was hassle free. If you’re looking for a full service fishing outfitter, this is definitely the place. No need to look elsewhere. We will be back, once we get through some of our fish stockpiled fish.
Weather was a little cool and rainy and seas were a little rough but Captain Louie made us forget all about that because we were too busy catching fish. He did a wonderful job and we caught plenty of great fish.
Chef Ken prepared fabulous meals and we didn't go away hungry.The support staff made us feel right at home and always had a smile.
If you are looking for a great fishing lodge with beautiful views and and an excellent staff I highly recommend Highliner Lodge.

Our stay at Highliner was amazing, great experience fishing, eating, lodging, Captain Louie got us on the fish quickly every day and did everything possible to get our limits or close to it. The fish made it home perfectly, an amazing job cleaning, packaging and freezing and packing for our return trip. The fish is excellent eating.
The entire staff is amazing, I loved how everyone knew our names and addressed us by name after about only one hour. Everyone did everything possible to give us a great experience. Very well run business, clean, well organized, great equipment.
Fantastic experience.

I have been to AK fishing several times and this was the best experience by far. The entire staff was incredible and the hospitality was the best !! Fishing was outstanding and the scenery was amazing. I can’t recommend enough and will be making a return trip. Thanks to all for an amazing adventure !!!
Every single thing that Highliner Lodge promised us, they delivered.
They promise to try for fish. We limited out on kings, ling Cod, halibut, Coho and rockfish on day one.
The food... I went to the middle of nowhere, no fast food, no gas stations, and gained weight. The food is incredible.
Communication- fabulous- Steve called me back when we first thought of the trip. Abbie made sure we got to and from the lodge from Juneau, even giving us a place to eat before we got.on the boat to the lodge. Several emails after too.
Captains - Steve somehow managed to find people that would rather watch people catch fish than catch fish themselves.
I said this was a once in a lifetime experience. It isn't. I'm canceling another experience to go back.
Oh, spotty wifi, no cell phone reception. PERFECT. My assistant was able to tell our clients I was completely unreachable in Alaska. Instantly they understood.

The Highliner Lodge is a great Alaskan fishing experience. The hospitality was first class. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. The fishing was way beyond expectations. If fishing in Alaska and the beauty is something you want, this is the place to go. Thank you Abbie, Captain Dan and the entire staff for an amazing experience.
This was one of the best fishing experiences EVER! We went out to the Highliner with 4 generations of our family and an 80 year age gap between my son (7 yrs) and grandfather in law (87 yrs) and had a blast. The Highliner staff is second none, from the Chef cooking gourmet meals, the Captain taking care of us and putting us on the fish day after day, and not to mention the service crew. They remebered all of our names, drinks, etc. and really took care of and catered to the little guy. The lodge was clean and comfortable, the food was great, the staff was better then fancy/5 star hotels, and not to mention the fishing was great! We are already talking about our next trip.
An amazing place! The fishing was unreal and the service was amazing. The food was excellent. Chef Justin might have me coming back just for the food! But captain Louie was the star of the show. Amazing captain with detailed knowledge of the water and fish. The hospitality staff: Abbie and Kelli were wonderful and more than accommodating. I can’t give enough praise to the whole operation. It was just wonderful!
Gosh, where do I start? Every part of our experience was amazing. From the lodging, crew, scenery and fishing, everything was top notch! 5 stars are not enough to rate our experience!! It was a trip of a lifetime! I highly recommend The Highliner Lodge, Abbie and the rest of the amazing people that made our trip one for the books! Thank you Highliner staff for the best trip my sister and I have done together! I miss you all and wish I was back there seeing your smiling faces every day!!
