Homer Fishing Addiction is an award winning family six pack, run by Capt. Zane Millett on the F/V Tolstoi Point, a comfortable Crozier Craft with a heated cabin and onboard fish processing. It carries a 4.9 rating across nearly 80 FishingBooker reviews and won a 2026 FishingBooker Angler’s Choice award, with the praise centered on Zane’s local knowledge of where the fish are holding and the relaxed, welcoming feel of the trip. The family has fished these waters for more than 20 years, and the boat posts its prices and handles the cleaning and processing on board, which is a real convenience.
The verdict and where it ranks
At 8.0 Homer Fishing Addiction is a strong choice and one of Homer’s better small family operations, carried by a consistent crew reputation and an external award. It suits anglers who want a personal trip, a captain who knows the local grounds, and the convenience of processing handled on the boat. It sits in the strong tier rather than higher because it is a single boat with a shorter operating record than the long established names, and because its own site and its FishingBooker listing describe the boat differently, which leaves a small question over the exact platform. It is closely matched with Wild Coast Alaska, another award winning owner run six pack, and ranks just behind it on the crew evidence. Compare the field on the Homer ranking.
The boat
The Tolstoi Point is a Crozier Craft built for comfort on a long Cook Inlet day, with a heated cabin, a dinette, a private restroom, and onboard fish processing that lets the crew start cleaning your catch on the way in. The one honest wrinkle is the specifications: the operator’s own site describes the boat at about 28.6 feet, while the FishingBooker listing describes a newer 32 foot 2025 Crozier Craft, so it is worth confirming which boat you are booking. Either way it is a single six pack, smaller than the big inspected boats and more exposed to the weather, but set up for a comfortable day with the heated cabin and the processing aboard. The onboard processing is a genuine differentiator in a port where most boats hand the job to a Spit processor.
The fishing and what you target
Homer Fishing Addiction fishes Pacific halibut as the mainstay, on full day trips under the 2026 Area 3A charter limit of two a day, one of any size and one under 27 inches, with retention closed Wednesdays and Tuesdays from June 2 to August 25. The halibut and salmon combo adds king and silver salmon, and the boat runs winter king salmon in the off season. The smart touch is the Wednesday rockfish and salmon trip: since halibut retention is closed every Wednesday, the boat fishes rockfish, Pacific cod, and salmon instead, so you still get a productive day on the one weekday the halibut fleet sits out. It is a thoughtful way to fill a closed day, and it shows a captain who fishes the rules rather than against them.
Trips and prices
Pricing is posted per person on the operator’s own site, which helps on transparency. A halibut trip is $425, a halibut and salmon combo is $475, winter king salmon is $350, and the Wednesday rockfish and salmon trip is $350. Rods, reels, lures, and catch cleaning and filleting are included, and the onboard processing saves a step at the dock. The Alaska license is on every angler, and the crew note that a 10% to 20% tip is customary. The rates sit in the middle of the Homer market, below the newest top end six packs and above the per person seats on the big boats, which our cost guide sets in context.
The crew
Capt. Zane Millett runs the boat as a family operation, and the reviews are warm and consistent: he is sociable and easy to fish with, he knows the local grounds and where the fish are holding, and trips regularly limit out on halibut plus other species. That consistency earned the 2026 FishingBooker Angler’s Choice award. The honest qualifier is in the numbers: the 4.9 rating, just below a perfect five, means at least one angler logged a lesser day, and as with the other booking platform operations the evidence is tied to paid trips rather than the open review platforms. The family’s long history on the water is a point in its favor, even if the charter itself reads as a newer operation.
Booking and what to know
Homer Fishing Addiction books through its own site and FishingBooker, departing the Homer Spit. Confirm which boat you are on given the specification difference between the two listings, and reserve summer dates ahead. Bring warm waterproof layers, food and drink, and motion sickness medicine taken before you sail, and buy your Alaska license and halibut stamp ahead of time. Cleaning and processing are handled on the boat, which is a convenience worth the trip on its own; arrange shipping with a Spit processor if you want your fish boxed for the flight home. Confirm the day before in case the weather forces a call.
How we scored it
Homer Fishing Addiction earns its 8.0 on a consistent crew reputation, an external Angler’s Choice award, posted prices, and the convenience of onboard processing. Captain and crew is its strongest factor. It is held in the strong tier by a single boat, a shorter operating record, and the small uncertainty over its exact specifications across two listings.
