Looking for the ultimate summer adventure that combines stunning scenery, worldclass fishing, and mouthwatering seafood? Set your sights on Valdez, Alaska—where the mountains meet the sea, and the fish stories are all true.

Tucked along the shores of Prince William Sound, Valdez offers some of the best sport fishing in the state—hands down. In fact, this area is known for producing the biggest king salmon and the biggest halibut in all of Alaska. Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a first-timer, Valdez delivers with calm waters, spectacular wildlife, and experienced local charters ready to guide you to the catch of a lifetime. Daily excursions depart right from the harbor, where sea lions and bald eagles provide the ultimate Alaska welcome.

Summer is peak season, and there’s no better way to get in on the action than through the Valdez Fish Derbies—the oldest derbies in Alaska. With daily and weekly prizes throughout the summer, anyone has a chance to win big, whether you’re reeling in a monster silver salmon or a barn-door halibut.

The best part? You don’t have to fret about your catch. Local processors offer “ship your catch” services, flash freezing and storing your fish until your designated ship-it-to-us date. Or they can process it and hand it over to you straightaway, if you prefer to have it right here and right now. Either way, for food lovers, it’s a dream come true: imagine stocking your freezer back at home or your grill on the beach with wild seafood that you caught! Good living is enjoying nourishing, line-caught memories, whether you grill your fish, fry it, smoke it, or otherwise prepare the bounty.

Whether you’re an Alaskan enjoying the state or a visitor from afar, Valdez offers an unforgettable blend of adventure, flavor, and true Alaska charm. Reel it in, cook it up, and savor every bite—Valdez awaits.
