Our Story
Kodiak Kings is a family-owned and operated charter service located in one of the world's most sought-after cold-water sportfishing destinations, Kodiak, Alaska. A place we are fortunate enough to call HOME! Our passion for fishing is fueled by our ample resources and a thriving fishery. Couple that with unparalleled scenery and you have the perfect recipe for a great day on the water. We are a small and personalized operation and will go the extra mile to ensure you are getting the experience you have dreamed of. Our true passion is salmon trolling, however, if you are looking to jig for bottom fish until your arms quit working, we are happy to do that as well. Maybe you are looking to strictly fish for your entire day, that’s great! However, if you are looking for a more passive day on the water photographing some of our breathtaking sea animals, birds, or scenic views we are happy to slow down and accommodate you. It truly is "YOUR" trip, and we understand for a lot of folks it really is once in a lifetime.

Captain Keith is truly one in a million! From an early age he has had an obsession with seeking out and collecting the best Mother Nature has to offer.

Keith has hunted, fished, and explored the island of Kodiak ever since. His passion for salmon, especially kings, triumphs over all other saltwater species. Keith is always looking to evoke that “train wreck” strike that widens your eyes as the rod pounds down to the water and the reel screams. His uncanny ability to think like a fish coupled with his passion for putting meat on the deck makes him one of the best captains you could fish with. Keith and does everything in his power to provide his clients with a safe and unforgettable trip of a lifetime.
