Quick Details
World-Class Halibut Fishing from Homer
Get ready for a day of world-class deep sea halibut fishing in Kachemak Bay and Lower Cook Inlet! You have just the right amount of time to get two delicious halibut and still plan for other great activities the same day. In the five and a half hours you spend with us, we travel between 20 and 25 miles each way to get you into some fantastic fishing.
The twin 300HP outboards offer a quiet fast ride, allowing the Captain to regal you with fish stories and adventures at sea. The Bella Vita slices through the water speeding to the fishing grounds to maximize your time with lines in the water.
This half-day trip features the Bella Vita, a six-person vessel that is used exclusively for halibut fishing trips. Faster than the large half-day boats, it is able to get to the fishing grounds faster, allowing more time for halibut fishing! It’s the perfect vessel for people with strict time limits and private parties of four to six anglers.
No experience necessary! The Captain will help you with every aspect of catching fish and having a blast at the same time!
The minimum age allowed for the safety of everyone on board is 6 years old. If you have a family with members younger than 6 please call us to talk about booking a private charter for just your group. By booking a private boat the age limit is more flexible.
All captains are U.S.C.G. licensed and take pride in their comfortable, safe vessels.
Due to the new Halibut regulations for 2023 we will also be offering full day Salmon trips and Salmon & Rockfish combos. Click here; https://www.centralcharter.com/full-day-fishing-on-the-crusader/ for Salmon options.
The 2023 Halibut regulations state that there is no charter Halibut fishing on all Wednesdays for 2023 and all Tuesdays between June 20th and August 15th 2023. What did not change for this year; You are still able to retain two halibut per person per day with no annual limit. Each day you can retain one halibut of any size and one halibut that is 28 inches (in overall length) or less.

- If seasickness is a concern, most folks have great success with non-drowsy medications such as Bonine or Dramamine 2. It is usually best to take a half dosage 12 hours prior to your trip and a full dosage just prior. These medications can also make you a little thirsty, so please bring some extra water if you use them.
