Slacktide Sportfishing will take you to some of the best fishing adventures on Vancouver Island. There’s a variety of trips to choose from, ranging from just 5 hours to whole 3 days. Whether you’re a beginner or an avid angler, there’s a spot for you on this boat. Captain Andrew will be your guide and host, ready to assist when you need him and adjust the trip to get the fish you’ve always wanted.

You’ll be fishing on a 27’ Kingfisher Escape boat that accommodates up to 5 guests. This fishing vessel features a fully enclosed cabin with heating and lots of comfortable seating space. The boat is powered by a 300 HP Yamaha engine and reaches the speed of 40 knots. Besides modern navigational electronics, the boat also has a private toilet.

Depending on the trip you choose, you can go after Halibut, Salmon, Crabs, Lingcod, and Rockfish. A special treat for all hard-core anglers is a 3-day fishing experience, starting in Tofino or Ucluelet. This is one of the best ways to explore the west coast of the Vancouver Island and upgrade your fishing skills.

The captain will prepare your equipment and clean the catch after the trip. You’ll need to cover your fishing license and pack food and drinks for the day. It’s recommended to have layered clothing.

Slacktide Sportfishing is ready to take you on your next adventure. Pick a date and join the crew!

4 Hour Trip – Salmon

Great skipper

VERIFIED

Andrew was very proficient in setting up the rods and we were soon into chinook. The biggest was 27lbs and he was professional in his work whilst being ever aware of our surroundings and other fishing boats
