See and enjoy the riches of the west coast with Sooke Salmon Fishing Charters! Captain has been fishing his whole life and decided to settle in BC, on the south of Vancouver Island. He runs kid-friendly fishing trips and accommodates beginners. You have to start fishing somewhere, so why not learn the skill with a professional who has a lot to share.

Hop aboard a 25' Houston that has the latest navigational and safety gear. This angler boat has the capacity for 4 guests to join, with enough space for everyone to fish at the same time. She's powered by twin 300 HP Volvo penta engines and reaches the speed of 30 knots if necessary. You'll also find a galley, private toilet, a bed, and lots of different fishing extras.

Salmon will most likely be your main target on each trip but you'll have lots of opportunities for other species as well. You can land a huge Halibut, Rockfish or Lingcod. Depending on what you want to catch, you'll switch between trolling, bottom fishing, and jigging. It's allowed to keep the catch, so bring your cooler and save the fish for later!

All fishing equipment and bottled water are included in the price. This leaves you with getting your license and bringing some snacks and drinks for the day.

A spectacular fun for the whole family has never been closer. Choose one of the trips that Sooke Salmon Fishing Charters offers and spend a day full of excitement.

Enjoy a truly private experience at our secluded dock, where you won't have to wait for others to clean your catch after the trip. While your fish are being prepared, you'll have plenty of fun interacting with the local seals, feeding them fish scraps and watching their playful antics. It's a perfect way to end your day on the water!

    Great trip with Captain Luke

    HALF DAY SALMON (AM) on October 10, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had a fantastic day out with Captain Luke and can't recommend him enough. We came home with salmon, mackerel, and even some crabs, so there was plenty of action from start to finish. Luke was friendly, funny, and great company all day. He made us feel welcome right away and kept the mood light, while clearly knowing exactly what he was doing out on the water. The boat felt very safe and well looked after, which made it easy to relax and just enjoy the fishing. He mentioned he's just bought a new boat too, so future trips might be even better. All in all, a great experience. We'll definitely be back!

    HALF DAY SALMON (PM) on December 29, 2025 • 2 adults

    My girlfriend and I love to fish! We typically do it together, only fishing from shore or wading in shallow rivers. This time we decided to hire a professional charter, and we could not have been more pleased with the experience. Luke’s professionalism and patience were top-tier – which to us, should be the standard. We fished in late December on a cold morning, but it turned out to be the most beautiful day and we caught three gorgeous salmon and one Ling cod. He also took us crabbing and shrimping. Luke made the booking process extremely easy was very responsive with messaging and we can’t wait to tell all of our friends and personally visit back soon! -Dani and Patrick

    Crabs, shrimp, and a great time

    Seafood Westcoast Adventure on April 21, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Luke was great! We had some choppy water and half of our people were feeling sick. Captain Luke got us into some calmer water and worked to get us on some fish. No fish this time, but we did get some crabs and shrimp from the pots. We very much enjoyed the trip, scenery, and Captain Luke. Even though we didn't land any fish, Captain Luke gave us some halibut to take home!

    Excellent experience - Lots of Coho & Crab

    HALF DAY SALMON (AM) on October 15, 2025 • 3 adults

    We had a outstanding day on the water. We lucked out with calm seas and a blue bird day. Captain Luc was an excellent host and guided us through our first experience Salmon fishing. We were able to be very involved in everything including dropping and pulling the crab traps, and post fishing learning how to fillet. Bonus was the local Harbour seals coming to enjoy all the fish trimmings. Luc made this trip perfection.

    Amazing family adventure!

    HALF DAY SALMON (PM) on August 20, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    Captain Luke was fantastic, we had such a blast! We caught plenty of fish, laughed the whole way through, and our 9 year old had the time of his life. Luke’s professional but also super easygoing, which made the trip feel relaxed and fun from start to finish. If you want a great day on the water (and some goodies to bring home), Captain Luke’s the one to book!

    Big Coho

    Sunset Evening Trip on September 15, 2025 • 2 adults

    From the start Luke was a great Captain. He informed us of what we had in store for the charter and explained where we would head out to as we begin our hunt for fish. Just 10mins in a hit a nice big Coho. Thanks Luke for the great experience. 👍

I love the beautiful nature and scenery found on the west coast. I started fishing when I was little and loved it ever since. When I moved to Vancouver Island, I felt the need to buy my own boat and start fishing. After attaining the necessary qualifications to be a Fishing Guide, I started to guide people on fishing adventures. On our fishing trips, we have lots of fun.
