King Tide Charters
Welcome aboard!
King Tide Charters provides a first-class, fully guided fishing experience, departing from our private dock in Sooke BC, a stone’s throw away from the productive Salmon and Halibut fishing grounds of the Juan de Fuca Strait.
Cruise the Juan in style aboard our custom 22’ Boston Whaler Outrage, featuring top-of-the-line power, and premium fishing equipment, guided by Captain Andrew, a seasoned professional with a passion for fishing.
Take in the breathtaking scenery and stunning west coast views, while exploring the waters of legendary Sooke fishing hot spots like Otter Point, Secretary Island, Trap Shack, and many more.
We are blessed to have all five Pacific Salmon species in our waters throughout the season. On our trips, we can target prized Chinook (King) Salmon, Coho (Silver) Salmon and Pink Salmon
The action doesn’t stop there! With a thriving bottom fishery on our doorstep, guests have the opportunity to book a specialized trip, including full day fishing for monster Halibut, Lingcod, and Rockfish. The local Sooke Halibut record is 328 lbs!!
Crabbing is also excellent and it is not uncommon to pull up our traps full of large Dungeness Crabs, on the way back to the dock!
We expertly clean and filet your catch back at the dock, so you can take home your fresh harvest with ease.
Whether you’re an expert rod or brand new to the sport, King Tide Charters provides an enjoyable, and rewarding experience on the water for all types of anglers.
Before the day of your fishing trip, please ensure all anglers have purchased a recreational tidal angling license for the pacific region and add the salmon conservation stamp. Licences are available online through the DFO’s rec licensing website.
This is mandatory requirement for all anglers*
Tight Lines,
Captain Andrew

Salmon - Dusk Bite
Epic sunset salmon trip
Can't recommend King Tide Charters enough! Captain Shane took us out for a 3 hour evening salmon trip and worked hard to get us on a great Chinook! Shane and Andrew are great guys, informative, friendly, and dialed in on the fishing. We had plenty of crab to take home as well. They operate from a private dock which made the process so smooth. If you are in the Sooke area and looking to get on the water for some fishing these are the guys to go with!

Fantastic Evening Fishing
Captain Shane was super laid-back and more than happy to answer all of my questions and teach me techniques. I ended up catching a beautiful Chinook and a nice coho too. It was a lot of fun and I would definitely do it again.

Tough run for Captain Cam but he nailed it
Took my two boys out for their first night of fishing, it was tough sledding as it was raining hard and they were not used to those conditions. Luckily the fish were biting and Cam knew what they were after so we had bites pretty much as soon as we got a line back in the water. Great night of character building for the kiddos!
