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 a custom 20’ 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, and Coho (Silver) Salmon, but often get into Chum, Pinks, and Sockeye.
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 will 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 will provide a safe, enjoyable, and rewarding fishing experience for all types of anglers.
Before your trip, please ensure everyone has a valid tidal fishing license, purchased either online & printed or linked with the FishingBC app, or at a dealer who provides this service. Those wishing to retain fish and bring it home, also require a Salmon Conservation stamp.
Gratuities are appreciated and customary at 15-20% of the charter cost, acknowledging the hard work of support staff, behind the scenes.
We can't wait to fish with you!
