Svenson Sportfishing is a locally owned and operated fishing charter based out of Clover Pass Resort in Ketchikan, Alaska, offering private guided salmon and halibut trips in the waters around the “Salmon Capital of the World.” Led by Captain Axel Svenson, who was born and raised in Ketchikan and has over 15 years of charter experience, the operation focuses on delivering a high level of service using clean, well‑equipped boats, quality tackle, and experienced captains who work with anglers of all abilities—from first‑time visitors to serious, repeat fishermen. The company caters to both cruise‑ship and fly‑in guests with 4‑hour, 6‑hour, and full‑day packages, offers a shuttle service to and from cruise docks with a port‑time guarantee, and can help guests access local fish processing so their catch can be shipped home. All charter packages are customizable, including multi‑day options such as 3‑day/4‑night trips, giving visitors flexible ways to experience Ketchikan’s salmon, halibut, and other bottom‑fish fisheries.
