Boat was in great shape, well set up for group fishing, even if you are solo. The crew was extremely friendly and helpful to all levels of fishing. And catching our limit on rock fish and ling cod (as well as a couple of crabs) made the day even better. I would recommend heartily to anyone who just wants to get out and fish! And I will be back to book with the Norwester and her Crew soon!

Always a great experience with Garibaldi Charters. My daughter and I particularly enjoyed the ladies trip with Captain Tamara and deckhand Alanna. Looking forward to our next trip.

Had a great trip. Original plan for the deep reef got scuddled due to tech probs on the Norwester, but the D & D crew stepped up and made it a fun trip despite the weather turning fast. Captain Marty parked us right over the schools and Robby did a fantastic job keeping up with the “fish on” calls. These guys were top notch and made it very enjoyable for a first timer. Next spring we’ll be doing it again. Thanks so much to the whole team at Garibaldi Charters for a really fun day.

Terry and Robby were fantastic. It started slow, but that was good, because we had a lot of first timers on a bachelor trip. They were patient and very helpful.These guys are the best crew I have ever had. Just phenomenal.We hit an awesome school of rockfish. Limited in less than an hr. Grabbed a few ling cod, but the 36incher was the highlight. On the way back we hauled in the crab pots... 116 crabs. Unbelievable.50 rockfish, a 36in lingcod and a stunning 116 crabs.These guys know what they are doing.We did the math after our haul. The crabs alone paid for the trip.We went sept 21 2023

We have booked several times with garabaldi charters and have had great experiences every time. Captains and crew very patient with those of us who don’t go fishing very often. Caught my first chinook salmon with them a few days ago. Great stories inbetween reeling in fish. We’ve already booked another trip with them.

What an ADVENTURE! Although I got very seasick, the folks at Garibaldi Charters were incredible in fostering a safe, informative and helpful environment for deep sea fishing. My son and I arrived at 5:30am for their light tackle adventure and had a blast. My son caught seven fish and I caught five. The boat follows schools of fish where you drop your lines, reel slowly, and see what bites. Then you move on. There was always one or two deck hands right nearby to help you with tangled lines or if you caught a fish. I was really grateful for the regular help they provided. The weather was stunning in late August.The best part about catching the fish was that they fileted them and packaged them less than an hour after docking. We even got several freshly caught crab too. This was absolutely worth the money.

I booked a trip as a birthday present for my wife, she had never been fishing on the ocean before and now it's all she can talk about. She can't wait to get back out and do it again. We had an amazing time, Captain Marty and deckhand Robbie were absolutely awesome and I thank you all for a memorable birthday trip with my wife!! Bravo- Chuck & Heather Mumm

I went on the Norwester August 6 2023The Captain and crew were great, they were helpful, patient, and very knowledgeable. The captain knew exactly where the fish were, we limited out in only two hours. I look forward to fishing with them again.

Did the light tackle bottom fishing trip with my eight year old son. We both had a great time. The boat limited on rockfish and we all got to take home some crab. Capt. and deck hand on the Norwester were great with the kids.

Absolutely fantastic day with Captain Curtis on the Alaska Sunrise!! If you want to catch fish, this is the Captain and the charter vessel you want!! HANDS DOWN- fantastic experience!!

We had such a great time, went with our 6yr old (almost 7). He caught a keeper lingcod and a canary fish double. The deckhand is very attentive and helpful. Would definitely go again!

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! The captain was extremely rude, and the deck hand too! The fishing trip was supposed to be a kids trip. The captain spent a lot of time on the phone and the speaker was on. We could hear them throwing the F bomb. The captain was driving the boat with his bare feet, there was no cream or sugar for the coffee, no soap in the bathroom, and no real direction. The worst part about it was it was supposed to be a "5 hour" fishing trip. In total, we were allowed 45 minutes of actual fishing because we went 1.5 out and once we got to the fishing spot, we were allowed 1-2 minutes at a time before he would yell for us to reel in the poles and would move. The captain overheard a conversation about what he was doing and the fact we didn't have any time to actually catch the fish. He stopped the boat, left the captain's chair and very rudely told us he would park the boat and we "wouldn't catch anything!" It was a good trip until we scheduled with Garibaldi Charters
