King Tide Charters

Half Day Trip - Salmon (AM) on September 9, 2025 • 1 adult

Captain Andrew Black is a great Charter Captain ----------- I booked 2 half day trips with him back to back fishing for King salmon and Coho salmon  

The dates were September the 9th and the 10th 2025 --------- we were into a lot of salmon on both days catching many salmon the first day and almost  doubling that on the second day, it was great fun and Captain Andrew knows what he's doing and has 1st class rods and reels and equipment 

His  present boat is  a 28 foot North River pilot house and it's an awesome fishing machine with heat to keep you warm on those chilly days ------------ he also has a flush toilet on load which is a blessing

You should do well fishing with Captain Andrew Black ------------ Why not give him a try

Best day out

Full Day Trip - Salmon on August 27, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 children

Cannot recommend Captain Andrew and King Tide highly enough! The boat was immaculate and comfortable, with more than enough room for all of us.

Andrew took us through the basics and got us underway into the salmon freeway in no flat. We had our first Pink Salmon on the deck in under 10 minutes of putting the lines in the water and we just kept hooking them from there!

We had kids along for the experience and Andrew took all the time to answer their questions and give us the most amazing day out together as a family. If you're looking for a great guide who is friendly and experienced, look no further. Book with King Tide today.

Fantastic Day on the Water with King Tide Charters!

Half Day Trip - Salmon (AM) on August 9, 2025 • 6 adults

We had an incredible fishing trip this past weekend with King Tide Charters. From start to finish, Captain Cam were professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. We landed a beautiful, good-sized Chinook salmon and enjoyed some productive bottom fishing as well.

The boat was comfortable and well-equipped, and Captain Cam always knew just where to take us for the best chance at a catch. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-timer, they make the whole experience fun, safe, and memorable.

Highly recommend King Tide Charters and Captain Cam to anyone looking for an unforgettable day on the water.

Great Salmon Fishing, Highly Respects the Wildlife

Full Day Trip – Multi Species on July 20, 2025 • 6 adults

Fishing with Capt Andrew and his deck hand Cam was great. they’re a really friendly duo and very knowledgeable and easy people to click with. as for the salmon fishing it was great trolling around and spotting whales while hooking into some good fish. and they fillet the fish really well. the bathroom and all the equipment on the boat was a huge plus and it was very nice of them asking for your own personal song suggestions for the sound system as well. they really try to care for your comfort and well being as well. if you’re getting sea sick they got lots of water and electrolytes on hand for you and they always like to ask if the temp in the cabin if warm enough for you. me and my family had a blast. wish the halibut were biting that day but that’s not on them it’s on the fish lol. glad the salmon fishing was good and consistent. they really do respect the wildlife and regulations here as i had some shady charters in the past. will definitely come back again and highly recommend them. and a huge plus is that on the private dock there’s a local seal family that love to visit

Full Day Trip – Multi Species on May 24, 2026 • 7 adults

Our family of 7 adults booked this charter as part of my husband’s 50th birthday celebration, and it gave us a day we will always remember, with it being our first time fishing on the coast.

 We had a great time on the water with Captain Steven, caught a few beautiful salmon, including two keepers, numerous rockfish, and one crab, and really appreciated the effort that went into helping us make the day special. The boat was very comfortable and spacious for our group. We all got to reel something in!

Like any fishing trip, not everything went perfectly but Andrew was professional and receptive when we shared feedback afterward. He acknowledged our concerns and genuinely wanted to make things right.

Overall, we’re grateful for the experience, the memories, and the care shown during and after the trip. We would recommend this charter .
