ON THE WATER
FISHING CHARTER FAQ.
What trips does J-Dock offer?
J-Dock lists full-day multi-species, three-quarter-day, half-day, early-season and private charter trips. Offerings depend on the season.
What is included in a charter?
The public FAQ lists bait, fishing gear, tackle and captain/crew assistance. Licenses, food, warm layers, gratuities, certain fees, fish processing and shipping may cost extra.
Do I need a fishing license?
Yes. Anglers should check Alaska Department of Fish and Game for their applicable license and stamps. Charter-halibut requirements vary by regulation and season; verify before departure.
Will we catch fish?
Fishing results and particular species are never guaranteed. Catch, retention and species availability depend on weather, seasons, regulations and conditions.
What happens if the weather is bad?
J-Dock says the captain makes weather departure decisions and that trips canceled for unsafe conditions are refunded. Confirm the current written policy with the company.
What is the cancellation policy?
The existing 2026 public FAQ lists refunds minus a 5% fee at 90+ days, partial refunds at 45–89 days, and restricted refunds inside 44 days; online booking fees are described as nonrefundable. Do not rely on this summary as the current booking agreement—review the live FareHarbor terms before paying.
ON THE DOCK
SEAFOOD & SHIPPING FAQ.
Where is the seafood market?
J-Dock lists its seafood store at 1408 4th Avenue in Seward, next to the separate charter office at 1406 4th Avenue.
How do I order seafood?
J-Dock directs shoppers to call the seafood team. Ask about current species, quantities, boxes, pickup, shipping and rates.
Where does J-Dock ship?
The seafood FAQ says the company ships to the lower 48 using priority overnight service and does not offer international shipping. Confirm current carriers and locations.
Can I bring in fish caught on another boat?
The public site advertises custom catch processing. Call before drop-off to confirm acceptance, hours, turnaround, prices and handling instructions.
How long can J-Dock hold processed fish?
The seafood FAQ describes a one-week holding period followed by possible daily charges, with earlier pickup deadlines at season end. Confirm current policy and exact charges.
Are prices and seafood always available?
No. Wild seafood inventory, season dates, fish processing costs and freight rates can vary. The seafood team can quote current details.
Policy note: This concept summarizes current public-site text; J-Dock must approve complete policies and 2027 rules before an official site launch.
