Fishing Instruction \/ Necessary experience<\/strong>
I am an expert in teaching you the \u2018feel of the bite\u2019. You do not need to be a pro to hook and land quality size fish. Many of our anglers have never fished in saltwater and, some may have never fished before. I will instruct you how to properly operate the rods and reels and explain what to feel for when the fish strikes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Captain Gratuities<\/strong>
It is often asked how much of a gratuity is considered customary to tip your captain for great service. The answer is similar to a restaurant gratuity, 15-20% of the trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cancellation\/Refund of Deposit policy<\/strong>
We understand that unforeseen situations may arise beyond anyone\u2019s control that affect travel plans. We believe in a fair approach to cancellations, our cancellation policy is such that it both protects our livelihood in the unfortunate event that a scheduled charter must be cancelled and in some situations allows you to apply deposits from cancelled trips towards future bookings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This policy reflects the rights and position of Ketchikan Big Fish Charters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only your Captain may cancel your charter within 24 hours of
scheduled charter date due to weather or mechanical breakdown
without potential penalty or forfeiture of deposit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal Items liability<\/strong>
Baggage, personal items and personal equipment are the sole responsibility of their owners at all times. Boats are inherently wet; items that you wish to keep from getting wet should be placed in a dry storage bag or container. We highly recommend not bringing any unnecessary items. Ketchikan Big fish Charters and its affiliates shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, expense, damage, or inconvenience which results directly or indirectly from any act or failure to act whether negligent or otherwise relating to any activity offered by Ketchikan Big fish Charters and its affiliates<\/p>\n\n\n\n
