Captains like Nate have a reputation for knowing the secret haunts where large halibut roam, while their diligent deckhands keep anglers rigged and ready for action. Reviews frequently highlight the camaraderie onboard, the educational moments about Alaskan marine life, and bonus wildlife sightings including orcas, humpback whales, and dolphins that add to the day’s adventure.

Ethics and conservation are central to Puffin’s approach. They follow state fishing regulations closely and promote catch limits to support fish populations for future seasons.
