Captain Johnny and the high roller in Sitka Alaska

Captain Juan "Johnny Rockfish" Belcher ~ HIGH ROLLER

Johnny has been one with the sea for as long as anyone can remember. Starting as a commercial diver at age 14, and eventually moving on to Alaska Premier Charters, Inc. in 1996, Johnny rarely seems to leave the water. Johnny has also been a commercial halibut long-liner for over 10 years, which has given him ample experience in the migration and distribution patterns of halibut. As all-time winner of the McGyver award, and with his natural flair for good fishing stories and non-stop entertainment, fishing with Johnny is a unique experience.

Captain Greg loves King Salmon fishing

Captain Greg Trevarthen ~ TRIPLE PLAY

Greg is known around the lodge as "G-Money" and has been fishing in Sitka for many seasons. His knowledge of the area makes him one of the greats when it comes to finding the best King Salmon in the sea. Greg has put three clients on top of the derby-winning King Salmon, most recently in June 2008. He is personable, easy-going, level-headed, and has a keen instinct when it comes to finding that special fish. He has developed "the gene" and uses it to his advantage.

 


Levi loves working for Alaska Premier Charters in Sitka AlaskaCaptain Levi Tormanen ~ CHECKMATE

Levi was born and raised in a small town in the Upper Midwest and enjoys the outdoors all year round. He came to Alaska Premier Charters, Inc. as an enthusiastic deckhand in the summer or 2007. He has been a captain-in-training for three years and is exceptional at catering to his client's needs. He's the young buck around here but has a passion for always looking to expand his knowledge of the local fishing waters. He has already made a name for himself by finding the fish and getting the job done in an exemplary manner.

 


Thanks to the great Alaskan hospitality extended by you and the lodge staff, it just couldn't have been better. I mean everything was great - the fish processing, the meals, housekeeping and assistance from and to the airport. -Bob Linden
