Over 90 lbs of cleaned fish to ship home. 8 Halibit and 23 cod Boat state of the art Excelent equipment. Experienced captain Energetic crew The fish had no ware to hide Families and avid fisherman alike will enjoy the experience remember to dress warm and before you go get your licenses

Markus was an awesome captiain and the deck hand, Ben was on the spot with anything we needed. Professional crew that put us on fish. The whole boat limited on halibut and rock fish. We also caught a boat load of cod and a couple other species here and there. Would 100% book with these guys again.

I was initially hesitant to book a fishing trip online without any personal recommendations. While I had used Fishing Booker before with references, this time I had none—but after reading the reviews, I decided to go with the Black Pearl. I’m so glad I did!
Even before we arrived in Homer, AK, Captain Forrest reached out with a warm introduction and encouraged me to ask any questions about our trip. We exchanged several emails, and he was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the planning process. It was reassuring to know we could bring our own coolers, food, and snacks, which made the day even more comfortable.
The boat was very clean, well-kept, and equipped with great gear — and yes, it has a bathroom!
Captain Forrest and his first mate, Ben, went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. I honestly think they enjoy seeing their guests catch fish just as much as they enjoy fishing themselves. Their knowledge of the area and where to go made all the difference — we caught our limit of halibut along with rockfish, cod, and even some salmon!
The atmosphere on board was relaxed, professional, and fun. My family and I had an unforgettable experience fishing on the Black Pearl with Captain Forrest Luking and his first mate, Ben.
Highly recommend booking with Black Pearl if you’re looking for a productive, stress-free, and all-around fantastic fishing adventure!

Forest was knowledgeable, boat was very clean and well kept, equipment was in great shape. He went out of his way to make sure we caught the fish!! They kept our lines baited, working and so we could reel them in. If a spot slowed down we moved spots. If we wanted to try for a bigger fish we kept trying. He was so encouraging and fun! 8 hours sounded like a long time but did not feel like it. We didn’t have long periods of time when nothing was biting. I would highly recommend Black Pearl with Forest! Unless you don’t really want to have fun and catch fish!

We had an awesome time with Forrest and Ben! Caught many and HUGE fish and got our limits and had a blast! Both Forrest and Ben were so helpful and positive with great attitudes and Jody fun to spend time with catching so many big halibut! Our largest was estimated to be 100 pounds! We stopped the boat and they hit like crazy! Two and three at a time and was just over the top action and fun! The Black Pearl is a roomy boat and clean and was comfortable to spend time on. Will definitely recommend to others and we will use this guide again!
