Alaska Fish On Charters & Lodge
Oceanfront real estate in the heart of Alaska's Kenai Peninsula, Alaska Fish On Charters is one of the area's finest fishing lodges and charter businesses. Capable of accommodating up to 78 guests, the offering includes the main lodge building & owner's residence, nine guest cabins, an office building, storage buildings, and two guide cabins on 8 +/- total acres. The turnkey offering also includes 16 ocean and river boats, 8 vehicles, and an extensive amount of fishing equipment and gear.
Located just south of Anchorage, the Kenai Peninsula is known by many as Alaska’s playground. There are few places in the world that offer such a diverse array of natural beauty. Surrounded by the ocean on three sides, the Kenai Peninsula offers its visitors much to see and do in addition to fishing, including mountains and glaciers to explore, rivers and lakes to boat and kayak, and miles and miles of hiking, biking, and ATV trails. There is truly something to satisfy every nature lover’s appetite. Unlike most of Alaska, the wonders of South Central are traversable by vehicle, which can be easily rented in Anchorage or the town of Kenai. There are roads to a majority of the beloved spots in the region, which makes the Kenai Peninsula unique to the rest of the state.
Alaska Fish On Charters is a highly profitable Alaskan lodge and charter business and the opportunity to own a lodge business of this magnitude and prestige is very unique. The owners, Gary and Darlene Kernan, have spent over 20 years perfecting their network of fishing destinations and training their guides and staff. The lodge is truly a profitable and turnkey offering for the next owner.

Matt guided for 10 years in the backcountry of Alaska navigating some of the state’s most remote fisheries via floatplane. These were the kind of trips where the adventure level was high, the bears far outnumbered the people, and the fishing was prolific. During this time, Matt worked closely with lodge owners and operators all over Alaska to offer the best possible experiences for their clients. He learned the lodge business well and knows the level of commitment and hard work it takes to be successful.
Since stepping away from guiding, Matt has had a very successful real estate career, brokering over 100 million dollars of recreational property and lodge sales across the Rocky Mountain West and Alaska, including over 40 million in sales in 2024.
Matt thrives on putting together complex transactions, often involving significant lifestyle changes, multiple properties, large businesses, tax management strategies, and legacy planning. Whether buying or selling, Matt works tirelessly from the initial meeting to the closing table to put his clients in the best position possible to achieve their goals.
Matt and his wife, Chelsea, currently reside in Sheridan, Wyoming with their daughter, dogs, and horses. In his free time, you will either find Matt recreating in the backcountry of Alaska or throughout the Rocky Mountain West targeting trout with his fly rod, slipping through the aspens in pursuit of an early morning elk bugle, or roaming the prairie with his dogs in search of the next flush.
