Meet Captain Justin Dorathy

Captain Justin Dorathy is the owner and operator of Sweet Action Charters, a family-friendly fishing charter based in Alaska. His love for fishing began at a young age and grew into a lifelong passion shaped by time on the water and a deep respect for the outdoors. Guests quickly notice his calm, approachable style and the genuine care he brings to every trip, which helps anglers feel comfortable and confident from the moment they step aboard.

As a trusted Alaska fishing guide, Captain Justin brings more than six years of hands-on experience fishing local waters, along with professional training and certifications that prioritize safety and preparation. Operating out of Homer, he understands the tides, structure, and seasonal movements that define successful deep sea fishing in Alaska. This local knowledge allows him to tailor each outing to current conditions, making trips productive and well paced for beginners and experienced anglers alike.

What truly sets Captain Justin apart is his background beyond guiding. As a retired military veteran and a graduate with a degree in Fisheries and Aquatic Science, he offers a deeper understanding of fish behavior, marine ecosystems, and responsible fishing practices. He enjoys sharing that knowledge with guests in a clear, easygoing way, making Sweet Action Charters a natural fit for family-friendly fishing charters in Alaska. His focus on education, respect for the resource, and small-group trips helps create meaningful experiences that go beyond simply catching fish.

Guests fish aboard a 26-foot Aluminum Almar, a stable and capable boat designed for Alaska conditions. Powered by a single Evinrude 150 and equipped with radar and a full heater system, the boat keeps guests comfortable as weather changes throughout the day. With room for up to six guests and a layout that allows everyone to stay involved, Captain Justin creates trips that feel personal, relaxed, and well organized from start to finish.
