We just returned from the Sapphire on 8/15. We did the Salmon Fishing out of Ketchikan which I saw you were told to steer away from. I was sorry to see this as we had a great time on this excursion. We were on a charter boat with a captain, the three of us and another gentlemen and his small son also from the Sapphire. We saw beautiful scenery, some eagles and caught many salmon. We had 15 lbs of the Salmon sent home and it is the best souvenir we could have ever bought. We have wonderful memories from that day and had so much fun.
Of course, if you add the expense of the trip for 3 people and then add the expense of the shipping and processing for the fish it would sound expensive but it was worth every penny. You have to remember that we would have taken another shore excursion that would have cost the same or more per person and we wouldn't have had the fun and excitement that we had plus the delicious salmon that we are eating now. Sure you could buy salmon and have it sent home but what is the fun of that? I KNOW where this salmon was caught and it was in the cleanest waters. I am sure that whatever excursion you choose you will have a wonderful time as it is a fantastic trip. Enjoy!
