Did you know - our Hummingbird Guest house is smack in the middle between Port of Ward Cove and Knudson Cove Marina 🤯
We have had many guests who LOVED their time fishing and vibing at KCM. They return every year - it is that Fantastic!

Knudson Cove Marina is not only a haven for salmon anglers, but also a breeze to reach from one of Ketchikan’s newest cruise ports: Ward Cove Dock.
Proximity: Knudson Cove & Ward Cove—Practically Neighbors!
Ward Cove Dock, often called the “new cruise port”, is nestled just a scenic 10-minute drive (about 5 miles) from Knudson Cove Marina. Compared to the downtown port, which can be crowded and a bit further from prime fishing waters, this location is a hidden gem for cruisers who want to cast their lines with minimal fuss and maximum fish.
Cruise Ship Charters – Tailored for Your Schedule:
Knudson Cove Marina offers specialized charters for cruise ship passengers, timed perfectly with your ship’s arrival and departure. These aren’t cookie-cutter tours—they’re small-group or private charters, often limited to 4–6 guests, designed to get you out fast and back in time with room to spare.
What Cruise Guests Love:
•Easy bus ride from Ward Cove.
• Guaranteed return-to-ship on time—your captain keeps an eye on the clock and the fish.
• All gear included: rods, reels, bait, rain gear, even snacks!
• Ship fish home: They clean, vacuum-pack, and can even ship your catch directly to your home.
Why It’s the Perfect Port Day:
Imagine it: stepping off your ship, into a bus and minutes later you’re cruising past emerald islands, surrounded by mist and the splash of silvery salmon. It’s a day not just well-spent, but well-storied.
It’s where the locals fish!
