4 hour trip Nanaimo AM on August 27, 2026 • 4 adultsOur 4 hour trip was great! Captain Brannen was very knowledgeable and got us on fish. We limited out on Chinooks and caught a couple Cohos, but had to let them go because they’re wilds. We also got a couple crabs as well. Definitely recommend booking this charter and hope to come back soon for a longer trip! Thank you for a great time out on the waters!

Agnes Balogh5.0VerifiedThe best experience of our vacation
3 Hour Trip Nanaimo on July 11, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Brannen is very knowledgable, experienced and friendly. He was wonderful with our kids (4, 6 years old). He knows the best spots to have a succesful fishing trip. He is not only from Nanaimo, he know everything about the wildlife. My kids loved to catch all the crabs and learn about them, measuring them. Captain Brannen went above and beyond for us and we are definitely pick him when we’ll bisit next time. Thank you for the experience of a lifetime.
Mat Bickel5.0VerifiedAmazing time on a boat
Half Day Trip (AM) Nanaimo on September 29, 2025 • 2 adultsWe went on a five-hour trip with Brannen. It was an amazing day, with lots of salmon caught and great conversation. If you're looking for a good time with a guide who really cares about the ecosystem and knows a lot about the region, Brannen is the right person to contact. 10/10!

We had very relaxing time. We headed out at Noon on a 4 hour charter. Brannen, our captain, had crab traps soaking before picking us up. He promised we'd catch salmon and we did. After a 20 minute boat ride, he set up everything. All WE had to do was sit and enjoy the sea air. We had FISH ON within the 1st 15 minutes. What I appreciated was how he set the hook and then handed over the rod to my buddy to reel in the 10 lb. salmon. We caught 4 more within our alloted time, even though the bite is slower in the afternoon. He did all the work, while we enjoyed the experience of reeling in the prize. Thanks Brannen! If I'm in the area, I will most definitely hire you again!
Thanks Doug for coming out it was a great afternoon of fishing.
The group landed a 22 and 21 pound Chinooks. Released 2 under sized Chinooks a hatchery Coho with bonus of a couple of crabs. Brannen did a great job getting us on the fish and made the trip great.

Thanks Tiffany for the great morning! hope to see you again.
Our trip was all we could have wanted and then some. Brennan knows his stuff. We caught lots of fish and even went home with some crab too. I would use Getter Done again. 100%
Thanks Trevor for you and your family for coming out it was a great morning
Brennan put some prawn pots out over night but someone picked them up. We did catch a couple salmon bit where all small. Due to wave conditions we had to go fiah in a more sheltered area due to one of us getting sea sick. Brennan did a great job overall set hooks up and was very informative about the crabs and salmon.

Your captain
Nanaimo, British Columbia, Canada
Hi, my name is Brannen Paradis, and I'm the sole owner and captain of Getter Done Charters. I started this company in 2022. I decided to start my own company because of my passion for fishing on the ocean. I've been fishing ever since I was old enough and just grew to love it! I have more hours on the water than I do on land, and I want to share my passion with others and get clients out on the beautiful ocean.
