Roy's Fishing Charters
Roy's Fishing Charters operate in the beautiful waters of the Salish Sea and Howe Sound, around the spectacular city of Vancouver, BC. They offer year-round charters for all available and in-season species of Pacific Salmon. On longer charters in winter and spring, Crab and Prawn traps may be dropped as well. Captain Roy Tanami has fished these waters all his life, and has also guided up and down the entire BC coast for over 25 years.
You'll be cruising the local waters aboard 'Rebel One,' an immaculate, 21' custom-designed, welded aluminum fishing machine. She's built like a tank, handles like a BMW, and is also just plain fun to run around in! An excellent hull design also means safe, comfortable rides even when the sea gets a little bumpy.
A 200 HP 4-stroke Yamaha engine gets you to the fishing quickly, and a 10 HP kicker keeps you going all day. Scotty downriggers, Raymarine GPS, plotter, and sounder, a marine VHF radio, and an onboard sound system complete the package. To ensure a top experience for everyone, Roy focuses on small group charters, and best accommodates 2 guests per trip, with the option of one additional guest for an extra price.
Please don't forget to get your British Columbia Tidal Waters fishing license, as the charter doesn't cover it. At the end of your trip, your fish will be cleaned, filleted, and bagged. Children are welcome, too so bring the whole family and experience a unique Vancouver fishing adventure with Roy's Fishing Charters!

Gary O SheaRepeat angler5.0VerifiedAn experience we wont forget
8 Hour Trip on October 12, 2026 • 2 adultsWe had an absolutely amazing time fishing with Roy over the course of two days. We were totally new to salmon fishing with no experience in this type of fishing or the methods used. Roy was very patient and explained everything over and over, there were plenty of mistakes made by us but Roy always stayed calm and relaxed and explained and showed us the correct way, growing our confidence. We had an amazing time and made memories of a lifetime landing several salmon over the course of the two days. Our biggest were two 20lb plus king salmon, would highly recommend anyone to go on this fishing charter with Roy.
David MagnyRepeat angler5.0VerifiedSalmon Fishing in a Stunning Setting
8 Hour Trip on June 9, 2026 • 3 adultsWe went salmon fishing off the coast of Vancouver with Captain Roy Tanami. He was incredibly friendly and introduced us to a classic "BC" fishing style, using light-action rods and single-action reels. It was a fantastic excursion—we caught over twenty salmon on a beautiful day, all against a breathtaking backdrop. It was a truly memorable experience that we will cherish for a long time.
Anna Nguyen5.0VerifiedBEST GIRLS TRIP EVER!
5 Hour Trip (AM) on August 16, 2026 • 3 adultsWe visited Vancouver to celebrate a good friend’s birthday and bachelorette, and booking this fishing trip was one of the best decisions we’ve made. Captain Roy took great care of us and was a blast to fish with. By the power of good energy and hours of laughter, we successfully caught fish!
Mark HawkerRepeat angler4.7VerifiedSuccessful day out with Roy. Six Coho & Two Chinook.
8 Hour Trip on August 9, 2026 • 2 adultsSpent the day with Roy Tanami fishing for Salmon using downriggers. We started on at the bottom of the tide so fishing was slow but soon picked up when the tide started to run. Caught six coho & 2 chinook between 2 of us up till midday. Then the. current shifted & that put the fish off the bite for everyone. 2 fish were hatchery coho that we kept. Rest were wild so released.
Tim Burton5.0VerifiedCaptain Roy is the King!

Germain Bureau5.0VerifiedGreat morning finshing with Roy
5 Hour Trip (AM) on June 6, 2026 • 2 adultsRoy is fantastic. He found the right spot and my guest and I caught over 20 Chinook up to 15 pounds with some double catches at the same time. We could only keep 1 Coho by law. I recommend Roy for your next trip.
