Great Salmon and Halibut Charter in Tofino
8 Hour Trip on July 22, 2025 • 4 adults

We had a great day out with Strawberry Island Fishing Charter in Tofino. We caught some solid salmon and halibut, and the crew knew exactly where to take us. The co-captains Luc and Joel were excellent and kept things light and fun, joking about showing us the big ones — and they definitely delivered. They gave clear instruction, knew the species well, and helped us land everything confidently. Super knowledgeable and easy to be around. They also took care of processing and packing our catch, which made the whole experience easy from start to finish. Overall, a smooth, professional, and fun trip. Highly recommend if you're fishing in the Tofino area.

Salmon!
Half Day on June 22, 2025 • 2 adults

What a great day of fishing! My wife and I went out on June 22nd and the weather was not the best some large swells but captain Joel made the most of it. Navigating through a lot of debris Luc kept our lines clean and about 2 hours in we doubled up with 2 large salmon! Reels screaming Joel and Luc walked us through making sure we didn't miss a fish of a lifetime. Unfortunately one salmon got off but We landed a 25lb King! She was a beaut! About an hour later we got a smaller 7lb Coho (wife redeemed herself) Even on a slow day of fishing the crew managed to put fish on the boat! We also saw a humpback breach completely out of the water and seals lurked waiting for an easy meal. Great way to see tofino from the water.

Capt. Luc and Joel runs trips out of Tofino aboard a 27' Catamaran. These waters are known for Salmon, Halibut, Crab and Lingcod and he will show you how to catch them, whether you're trolling, jigging or bottom fishing. With extensive knowledge of the area, they have a trick or two up his sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join them out on the water!

    Luc and Joel never gave up. We ended up with 10 fish between myself and my kids. The gave us a bit of everything the west coast could offer. Changing locations for different species and constantly changing up gear to make the best of our trip. My kids had a great time and they gave the upmost time patience and respect to my family. I would highly recommend Strawberry Island.

    Joel and luc at strawberry island fishing charters gave me and my girlfriend a unforgettable experience. They worked together to get fish in the boat and the rods in the water fast. It was almost none stop action and when things got slow they moved us quickly to where fish would be. We will be back!!
