Great Salmon and Halibut Charter in Tofino
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!
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.

Luc & Joel are amazing captains, super knowledgeable and welcoming not to mention hilarious.We went for lingcod and came back successful and had an unreal day on the water. We went out on their boat the Screamin’ Eagle. It was super comfortable, lots of room and very organized. If you’re thinking of booking with Strawberry Island Fishing Charters I highly recommend it. We can’t wait to be back!

I love fishing with Joel and Luc!!!
I love getting the opportunity to enjoy the ocean with these two incredible fishermen! Well equipped and knowledgeable, it’s easy to feel at ease, comfortable and grateful on their boat. There’s always some sort of magic in being out fishing, and the epic underworld of the ocean is so exciting to experience with people that are so good at what they do. Always open minded, embrace opportunities to learn more and fun to be around! Always a good time, especially when the lines get tight. Thank you guys, I love fishing with you!!
