Choctaw Charters in Skagway, Skagway, United States | Charters

Welcome to Choctaw Charters, Skagway, Alaska. Choctaw Charters was founded by Captain Glenn Mitchell, a young Choctaw Indian from Oklahoma, who after serving in the Pacific during WWII, found his way to Alaska. Being an adventursome man of many talents he traveled the Territory meeting beautiful women along the way and eventually fell into the loving arms of Shirley. Glenn and Shirley settled first in Sitka, then Skagway where for years Captain Glenn was the preferred charter fishing guide. Today Captain Mike, yes the lucky man that married Shirley's daughter continues the tradition of providing extra attention that results in a true Alaskan experience.

If you plan on a fishing or wildlife adventure with Choctaw Charters your trip will begin at the Small Boat Harbor in Skagway aboard Choctaw Lady, a 30ft Beaumarine Trawler. Choctaw Lady is fully equipped with heated galley, head, and main salon. She has all fishing gear and safety equipment.

Visitors returning to the magic of Skagway, Alaska, are discovering that there is more than what is offered by the cruise line. Today, thanks to the Internet, we can search and compare different tours and excursions being offered in our amazing town! When visiting a website, you become empowered and can make choices you are comfortable with. Choctaw Charters has been in business here in Skagway for fifteen years - longer than any currently running charter! We know the ropes! Oh and did we mention - the rates for tours are much cheaper off the ship!

Those arriving by cruise ship will be docking early in the morning, between 5am & 6am. It is daylight and Taiya Inlet is waiting for us. An 8am charter usually finds the water calmer and fishing is good.

If you can't make the morning trip we offer a 1pm departure. Taiya Inlet is protected from ocean swells, however sometimes the wind kicks up in the afternoon. If you are pre-booked and the Inlet becomes too choppy for a pleasant cruise, your money will be cheerfully refunded.  If you are traveling by vehicle or ferry and are spending the night in Skagway, we have the no-sunset trip leaving around 5pm, or inquire about our weekend discount rates.
