Comfortable seating, a fridge, and a flush toilet ensure you'll have an enjoyable day on the water. Powered by twin 200 HP Yamaha engines, the boat has plenty of power to reach the best fishing spots quickly!

Equipped with the latest Garmin electronics, including a fishfinder, GPS, and radar, you'll have no trouble finding the most productive fishing grounds. Capt. Mark will have you trolling with bait and a variety of artificial lures to target Chinook, Coho, Sockeye, Pink, and Chum Salmon. When in season, you'll also drop crab traps to target great-tasting Dungeness Crab.

At the end of your trip, your captain will clean and fillet your catch for you. Just bring a suitable ice box to keep it fresh during your journey home.
During the day, you'll want your own drinks and snacks to stay refreshed while you enjoy the stunning west coast views. Let FishOnAdventures give you an unforgettable experience!

    coho and chinook

    10 Hour Charter on July 14, 2026 • 4 adults • 1 child

    The captain (Mark) was very knowledgeable and got us on fish quickly. He was professional, accommodating, and friendly. I hooked and landed my first Chinook salmon, it was approximately 17lbs/81cm. We had our limit of (8) coho before noontime. I wold recommend him for anyone considering a charter.

    Great Family experience!

    8 Hour Charter on July 17, 2024 • 4 adults

    My husband and I took our two teens fishing for Coho and Chinook. Captain Mark and his partner Mark were the best! Captain Mark was so helpful leading up to the trip and was great with communication and helpful reminders so that everything went smoothly. The day of the trip they were patient with four novice fishermen, tailored the trip to meet our needs and were extremely knowledgeable about their craft. All four of us caught fish, and by the end of the trip my 14 year old son was so comfortable that he brought in the biggest catch of the day under Mark’s great coaching. I couldn’t recommend this Captain more and we hope to be able to come back for another trip with him. A great day and lifelong memories with our family made! Thanks Captain Mark & Mark!

    Day Trip with Captain Mark

    8 Hour Charter on October 15, 2022 • 4 adults

    Thanks for Mark for making our day so enjoyable. He was professional and courteous. He is a very experienced guide who knew where and how to fish and we were catching fish all day while most other boats weren't. The boat was a bit tight for the 5 of us (suitable for 3) but we appreciated him accomodating us all. Would recommend Mark for your next excursion.

    Great day out on the water with Captain Mark

    8 Hour Charter on June 6, 2020 • 4 adults

    Absolutely wonderful day on the water with Captain Mark and his first-mate (also Mark). The guys were super knowledgeable and friendly and made our family's first time fishing adventure an awesome and memorable experience. The boat and all the gear was top-notch. Highly recommend these guys.

    Best fishing day ever

    3/4 Day Trip - October (AM) on August 27, 2018

    You will not regret hiring Mark as your fishing guide. Not only is he the nicest most genuine guy you will meet, his expertise and knowledge is hard to beat. We went out on a foggy morning in August and he expertly navigated us using GPS to a sweet spot just West of the Fraser delta. It was at this point Mark’s knowledge of the type of lure and depth had us bringing in double headers faster than I have ever experienced before. We maxed out after only an hour of fishing. Would definitely go again and I highly recommend Mark Shannon as your guide and Captain.

    Best fishing trip with captain Mark

    8 Hour Charter on September 21, 2018

    If you are looking for an authentic West Coast experience, book your trip with captain Mark. He grew up here and knows the waters and best fishing spots. His boat is clean, fast and fully equipment with all the gear one needs. Mark is an expert in both safe boating and fishing, he knows what bait to use for best results. I've never had much luck fishing but caught two Chinooks that day which was the maximum allowed. Would definitely recommend Mark for your next fishing adventure.

Thank you so much for the review Bazil! What a great day out there. Really enjoyed spending it with all of you and so glad you enjoyed it. Great job on the rods especially during those powerful Chinook salmon battles! All the best and hope you're enjoying the Coho. Nothing better than fresh salmon you've caught yourself! Cheers, Mark

Thank you for the review and a great day on the water with you & your dad Jason! You both did very well on the rods battling all those fish. Those larger Chinook can really be a challenge!

Thank you so much Chip! It was our pleasure to have you all join us on the water for the day. What a great time. I lost count of how many fish you brought in … that's the best problem to have 🙂! Thank you very much for the kind words and I really hope we have the opportunity to see you for a future trip. Hope you're enjoying all that salmon - it doesn't get fresher than that! Cheers, Mark

I have grown up fishing on the west coast. Fishing for Cutthroat Trout in local creeks became fly fishing for Steelhead and Salmon in local rivers to eventually mooching and trolling for Salmon in the local waters. Always planning for the next fishing trip, I have a passion for being on the water and sharing the experience with others.
