First Mate Ashley Keithley grew up in the Pacific Northwest and has spent 10 years on the saltwater with her husband Captain Chris.  As a professional figure skater, fishing wasn't her first passion, but the outdoors had a calling for her. She was reeled in by a group of ladies who organize all women's fishing, hiking, and hunting trips. 

Ashley enjoys making everyone feel at home, treating guests to the true Alaskan experience filled with delectable Sea-to-Table dishes, and cleaning their fishes!

Captain Chris Keithley is a United States Coast Guard (USCG) Master Mariner.  He grew up fishing the ocean waters on the pacific northwest.  With 20 years of experience operating vessels and consistently filling the boat with fish, he is honored to share his passion and knowledge with others.

Chris makes safety his top priority while making sure all aboard are comfortable and have the adventure of a lifetime!

Ace is our bird dog who wishes he was a fish dog.  As much as he wants to come on the boat everyday he is too crazy!  Instead he is the official "Greeter" of Seldovia always there to say "hi" at the dock or as you come off the ferry.  

Beware the Alaskan mountain lion can be spotted rolling in the sand on the beach or snuggled up on the couch at B&B.  He may look ferocious, but if you have a treat he can be tamed. You will know it's Poncho when you hear the jingle of this bell and see the fashionable bow tie on his collar.

Colby Fin joined our team on April 5th 2025 with a pole in his hand!  At 8# 9oz of pure brute strength he is ready to reel up those trophy fish. This summer he will be hard at work with mom on the dock filleting up our clients catches every afternoon! Make sure and come by and give him an encouraging thumbs up for his dedication;)
