FAQs People Have Asked

How do I book a trip?

It’s easy, you can book right here on our website, send us an email, or just give us a call. A small deposit holds your date.

When should I book?

Summer fills up fast, especially June through August. If you know your dates, it’s best to lock them in early. Spring and fall usually have more flexibility.

What’s included?

We provide all the fishing gear, bait, and safety equipment. Your catch will be cleaned and bagged at the end of the day. You just need to bring your fishing license, food, drinks, and anything else you’d like for the day.

Do I need a fishing license?

Yes, everyone fishing needs a valid BC tidal waters sport fishing license. You can purchase one online before your trip, it’s quick and easy. We recommend having a print copy as well as an electronic copy.

What should I bring?

Layers of clothing (it can be chilly on the water), rain gear, sunglasses, sunscreen, food, drinks, and a cooler for your catch. And of course, don’t forget your license and your camera!

Can kids come?

Yes, families are more than welcome. We recommend children be at least 6 years old and comfortable wearing a lifejacket.

How many people can come?

Our boat is Transport Canada approved for up to 4 passengers, except for our Overnight Trip, which can only accommodate 2 people.

What if the weather is bad?

Safety always comes first. If conditions aren’t safe, we’ll reschedule your trip or refund your deposit.

What’s your cancellation policy?

If you need to cancel, just let us know at least 7 in advance for a full refund. Within 7, deposits are non-refundable unless we’re able to rebook the date. Find more on our Policies & Cancellations on our Booking page.

Can I keep the fish I catch?

Yes! As long as it’s within BC regulations, you can keep your catch. We’ll help make sure everything is measured, recorded, and processed properly.

Do you only offer fishing?

Not at all, if you’d rather spend your time sightseeing or going on an eco-tour, or watching for whales and bears, or exploring hidden coves, we’re happy to customize the trip to what you want.

How long are the trips?

Most trips are half-day or full-day charters, but we can also arrange custom lengths if you’re looking for something different.
