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, Captain Johnny rarely seems to leave the water. He 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 an all-time winner of the McGyver award, and natural flair for good fishing stories and non-stop entertainment, fishing with Captain Johnny is always a memorable experience.

Greg is known around the lodge as “G-Money” and has been fishing in Sitka for many seasons. Greg joined forces with Alaska Premier Charters in 1999. His knowledge of the area makes him one of “The Greats” when it comes to finding the best king salmon in the sea. Derby winning king salmon have been caught on Captain Greg’s boat three times in Sitka. He is personable, easy-going, levelheaded, and has a keen instinct when it comes to finding that special fish. He has developed “the gene” and uses it to his advantage.

David grew up in central Minnesota and has always loved the thrill of tight lines and learned the ropes of being a great deckhand from his brother Captain Dylan, with the goal of becoming a captain. He has already proven himself to be a competent and first-class addition to our captains team. David is hard-working, cheerful and always ready to coach and assist you in the art of fishing. It’s always a fun time fishing with Captain David!
