    Fun trip

    4 hour trip Nanaimo AM on August 27, 2026 • 4 adults

    Our 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!

    The best experience of our vacation

    3 Hour Trip Nanaimo on July 11, 2025 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain 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.

    Amazing time on a boat

    Half Day Trip (AM) Nanaimo on September 29, 2025 • 2 adults

    We 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!

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.

    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!
