We had an amazing all day halibut trip with Captain Doug. They were so committed to making sure that everyone got their two fish limit that we stay out far past the end time of the tour in order for everyone to get their two fish. Everything was smooth with transferring the fish to fish processing people. Also we were very happy that they took the COVID regulations very seriously, strictly enforcing masks on in the cabin and recommending that everyone wears masks for the entire trip.

I had my wife and three kids visit from AZ and we decided to take a 3/4 day halibut charter on the Maverick which was fantastic. We had two female deck hands who were sharp as a tack and really new their stuff: their fish cleaning skills were some of the best I have seen. I highly recommend Maverick charters, especially if you are taking anyone on their first time deep sea fishing in AK.

I’ve fished with Capt Eric two years in a row. Both times he has put us on the fish, made sure a high percentage of our bites ended up in the boat, and ensured we had a great time on the water. I brought three kids under the age of seven this year, and he and Capt Doug were very personable and accommodating. My four and six year old said it was one of the best days of their lives! I can’t recommend the team at Maverick enough, and am already looking forward to the next time we get to go fish with them (we have a lot of fish to eat through first...)!

I have been out with Captain Erick 4-5 times and have been very successful every trip and had a great time. Captain Erick is very knowledgeable and easy and fun to talk too. This year we came back with a whopping 455 pounds of filets of halibut, rockfish, and salmon. He really cares about the customers and the wildlife and will ensure you have a great time, definitely recommend going out with him or any Captain with Maverick Charters. I will be back again for many years to come. Cheers, Tyler

Where to start, I guess the fishing! Captain Eric took us out to one of his favorite spot and within 45 minutes we caught our first Halibut. We ended up catching 6 total with one being over 100lb. This guy not only knows how to fish but being a Marine biologist was a treat all in itself. He was constantly showing us wildlife (birds, whales, bears, sea lions, and much more) along with fantastic knowledge of the types of fish we were bringing in. He is a gem of a captain that really has a passion for what he does. I highly recommend this company if your wanting a great fishing experience. I am much appreciative of this life changing experience.

We had a wonderful time aboard the Outrageous with Captain Daniel and Deckhand Faith! Our day started off slow, but the crew changed spots throughout the day, determined for everyone to catch their limit of halibut and rockfish. We had a FULL day on the boat, but the crew still made sure we were happy with the fish we were pulling up. We will definitely be booking with Maverick Charters again!

Eric and Doug were absolutely amazing to go fishing with! My sister was visiting and had never been fishing and she loved it the whole time. The weather was a little cold that day, but they had us laughing the afternoon away and we snagged some fantastic (and big) halibut!
I’ve fished with Eric/Doug a few times and I always feel safe and cared for the entire time. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to experience excellent fishing here in Homer! You’ll have a good time, guaranteed.

Great experience! My sister and I (very novice fisherwomen) booked a last minute full day charter and we caught over 60 lbs of fish! Never mind I have no idea how I’m ever going to eat so much fish...but I digress. Eric, the Captain, is a Marine Biologist and has an excellent eye for reading the waves. They were safe, had a good COVID plan, and made certain everyone got the catch they wanted. They re-bated the hooks whenever they felt they weren’t getting the activity they expected and they point out sea lion and whales throughout the whole charter. Loved it! Definitely a good crew and a great skipper!!

I’ve been on a few charters before but this was the first time with an infant. The entire team (both in office and on boat) was accommodating and made the experience very enjoyable. We had Captain Billy who put us on fish pretty quickly, and Captain Doug was our mate who he did an incredible job getting the gear ready and did it while entertaining us with his positive attitude. We took the Julia Lynn, a 6 pack vessel. While it is old, it’s in great shape and even has a working bathroom. At the end of the day, we caught a ton of fish but it was actually the small things with this charter that made the day. Would highly recommend.

Our family of 5 had a terrific day with Captain Doug and first mate Kyle fishing for halibut. We were novice fisherman, and Doug and Kyle made sure we had a great day. They did a great job finding the right spot, putting bait on the hooks, working the various rods, and even filleting the fish on the way back into harbor. We highly recommend Maverick Charters for a day of halibut fishing in Homer!
