Still Water Charters is a locally owned and operated fishing charter based in Homer, Alaska, founded by Aaron Burdick. Built around a steady, thoughtful approach to fishing, the business focuses on small-group trips in Kachemak Bay and surrounding waters, offering halibut, salmon, rockfish, crab, and custom fishing charters throughout the season.

All trips operate aboard the Mandy May, a well-maintained, purpose-built fishing vessel designed for safety, comfort, and versatility in Alaska waters. With a heated cabin, ample deck space, and a layout suited for long days and changing conditions, the Mandy May allows trips to adapt to weather, tides, and guest preferences without feeling rushed.

Still Water Charters is owner-operated and managed with a hands-on approach, prioritizing safety, clear communication, and realistic expectations. Trips may be run by Aaron or by qualified, experienced captains who share the same philosophy and standards for operating in Alaska waters. Alaska fishing is shaped by variables beyond anyone’s control, and we believe the best days on the water come from patience, flexibility, and experience rather than promises.

Based in Homer, Still Water Charters reflects the character of the area itself—quiet when it should be, hardworking when it matters, and grounded in a genuine appreciation for fishing Alaska year-round.
