We Got The Answers

What Kind of Fish Can I catch on these charters?

It always depends on whether or not you want to set out on a river or the ocean, but we can help you land anything from rainbow trout, to sockeye salmon, to halibut, rockfish, and more!

When do the charters go out?

Depending on the fish, our season runs anywhere from May through October.

How early should I book my charter?

ASAP! Our charters go quick, and given some of the shorter timeframes that exist for catching fish, you’ll want to book as soon as you know you want to go!

How much will the charters cost?

We try to keep our charters as cost-effective for our customers as possible. They range anywhere from $175/person for four to five hours, to $275/person for a full day, to higher rates for reserving the entire boat. Visit here for more infomation.

What is the Kenai Peninsula?

The Kenai Peninsula is a wild-and-scenic, rugged 150 mile (240 km) stretch of coastline in the “Land of the Midnight Sun” that separates from the mainland on the west by Cook Inlet and on the east by Prince William Sound. The region is most commonly referred to as including the Kenai Peninsula Borough, which includes a large swath of wilderness.

Where is Kenai KingPin based?

We’re based in Soldotna, Alaska, the official borough seat of the entire Kenai Peninsula!

When is a good time to visit the Kenai Peninsula?

The best time to go to the Kenai Peninsula is in the summer. The shoulder season, May and September, is also a good time to visit. There are slightly less expensive lodgings available during these months.

What is Soldotna like?

Soldotna is a small town in Alaska a lot of coffee shops and parks, and many young professionals live there. It’s a growing and pastoral community that is a beautiful place to visit if you’re looking to escape into the scenery of the Alaskan wilderness while still having a few creature comforts with you along the way.

How much experience does Kenai KingPin have?

We’ve been fishing since we were old enough to hold a pole, and we’ve been in the professional industry for nearly two decades.

Should I go on a fishing charter if I've never fished before?

Absolutely! We love taking new fishermen out and showing them the ropes—or the lines—and if you’re going to pick anywhere for a first-time fishing experience, you can’t go wrong with the Kenai Peninsula.

What's a good way to reach you with further questions?

You can call or email us, or even send us a message through the contact portal on this site, right here!

What's the biggest fish you've ever caught?

International Law prevents us from disclosing that information specifically, but what we can say is that we don’t know for sure yet, because you haven’t been on one of our charters. So why not sign up today and let’s see if you’re the person who’s going to catch our biggest fish yet?
