Had a great day on the ocean today. Fish weren't biting, but we were still able to enjoy a wonderful day exploring our beautiful area. There's a whole different perspective when you see it from the ocean. We stopped by Thetis Island for a quick snack continued on our way. I loved the view of Vancouver against the mountains. We ended with a cooler full of Spot Prawns and Dungeness Crab. Let the feast begin! We highly recommend Rising Tide Coastal Adventures and Captain Chris.
Thanks so much for spending your day with us! I am so glad the weather cooperated. It so great that even when the salmon fishing is slow our area has so much more to offer. I definitely look forward to seeing you all again and glad the birthday trip for you husband and son was a great surprise.
My son and I had an amazing day on the water with Chris. It was a first-class experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend Rising Tide to anyone looking for a great day on the water!
Thanks so much Martin. i am glad you guys had fun. I had a great time with you and your son and looking forward to our next adventure!
Ive had a few charters, in BC, in Mexico. This is the first one where it was a perfect experience. The captain was bright, knowledgeable, pleasant company and hard working. When I wanted to change things it was always no problem. When things were not biting he was working the lines overtime. We brought up a large lingcod, a keeper chinook, some amazing prawns, a large rockfish, and dungeoness crab. My every request and need was met or exceeded and I just had a great day. Other charters could learn something from Captain Don and Christopher wasnt there but did coordinate and made sure everything was arranged and smooth as anyone could ask for.
Hi Jason. It was our absolute pleasure to have you onboard with us! We are so glad you enjoyed your time and your kind words are very appreciated. We work very hard to ensure the customer experience is the best we can possibly deliver. We can't promise fish but we definitely promise we will always do our best. Safe travels home. We hope to see you back again soon!
Captain Chris and Rising Tide was phenomenal. It was our first time salmon fishing and took the time to understand our concerns and what we were especially looking forward to. He was easy to talk to and get along with. We will definitely be returning to Rising Tide for more fun experiences. They have excellent equipment and a very comfortable vessel. We caught many fish and crab too! Chris took excellent care of us. Thanks again Chris!
Thanks so much for coming out with us today and entrusting us with your very first ocean charter! It was absolutely my pleasure, you guys were great and I definitely look forward to seeing you all again! Safe travels home.
My Dad, Mom, little sister and I did a 4 day trip to sooke, we had planed to go fishing two weeks in advance where our capitalina cancelled on us a couple hours before departure. I reached out to Chris and he responded within minutes that he would be happy to help us get out in the water before we left, and about two hours later we were on a beautiful boat on the ocean. Chris and his wife were very kind and friendly to all of us, and we had the best time we could've asked for, unfortunately didn't catch any fish, one bit but I let it get away while I was reeling it in haha. Highly recommend booking with Chris.
Andrea, it was my pleasure to bring you and your family out. We were glad we were able to help you last minute and everything worked. You guys were fantastic, it was truly great meeting you all and wow what a phenomenal evening we had. Now that you have all the secret fishing techniques figured out I am sure the next time out they won't get away on you lol. Thanks again and looking forward to the next trip!
