Fishing Fun From Downtown Vancouver offers a once-in-a-lifetime angling experience aboard a boat like you’ve never seen before.

The 47’ Historic Tugboat Atlas 1909, originally hauled bricks into Seattle, then smuggled whiskey to Alaska. She even traded for fur during prohibition, and was commandeered by the US Navy to serve in WW2! Get ready for a thrilling event, before you even think of what you’ll catch.

Captain James Brickenden will do his best to make sure you have a fun day full of dropping traps, as you go crabbing. This involves 4-hour trips, going after for Crab and Shrimp, and you’ll have the chance to eat ‘em up right on board.

Along with a fresh lunch of your catch, you’ll also be provided with drinks. When conditions allow, there’s even snorkeling gear included, so you can dive in and grab your own Shrimp and Crab. All you need to do is get your BC fishing license before coming aboard.

These kinds of adventures don’t come around often. What are you waiting for? Book your trip now and hit the water with Fishing Fun From Downtown Vancouver!

It was an interesting experience. Something different than the usual salmon fishing. I would do it again and do recommend this to those looking for a different unique experience.

Half Day Crab Trip

VERIFIED

Three dads and three 5-6 year old boys went out on the tug for crabbing. Everyone had a blast. Captain and crew were accommodating and relaxed (even in the face of the boys’ energy and excitement), boat was safe and has an interesting history, swimming was refreshing and crabs were delicious. Highly recommended.

It was an interesting experience. Something different than the usual salmon fishing. I would do it again and do recommend this to those looking for a different unique experience.
