Spend the day on the water with Tofino Kraken Charters and experience why fishing in Tofino is truly unforgettable! With Captain Andrew at the helm, you’ll be guided by someone with a genuine passion for fishing and adventure.

Depending on the season, you could find yourself reeling in Chinook (King) Salmon, Coho Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, Albacore Tuna, Spot Prawns, Dungeness Crab, and more. Most trips involve trolling for salmon and or jigging for bottom fish using light tackle. 

Bringing the family? Kids are always welcome! If you don’t have a child-sized life vest, just let Captain Andrew know so one can be provided if available. 

You’ll fish from a 25' Pro-Line center console, ideal for up to four passengers. The boat is equipped with downriggers, quality fishing gear, and a head for comfort. Captain Andrew will supply all rods, reels, and lures needed for a productive day. 

To make the most of your trip, bring warm clothing, closed toe shoes, sunscreen (non-spray), sunglasses, bottled water, and some snacks. Moderate alcohol is permitted—just steer clear of hard liquor and glass bottles. 

Every angler must carry a valid tidal waters fishing licence, issued by the Government of Canada. Be sure to purchase and print yours before the trip.

Get ready to “Get Kraken” and make some unforgettable memories with Tofino Kraken Charters!

    Opening day for offshore was a blast!

    6 Hour Trip on July 15, 2026 • 3 adults

    We booked through app not knowing much about the seasons. Andy reached out to us to let us know if we moved the trip one day forward that it would open up offshore fishing and that turned out to be a great move. Got our limit of Salmon and caught a few others to let go. He gutted the fish took them to the processor for us. Great trip we won’t forget!

    Captain Andy for the win!

    4 Hour Trip on August 11, 2025 • 2 adults

    Captain Andy made our 6-hour fishing trip an absolute blast! We caught 11 Coho salmon (catch and release) and a beautiful Chinook, thanks to his expert knowledge of the waters. Booking was seamless, and Andy’s responsiveness and helpfulness stood out from start to finish. His skill and passion for fishing made the day unforgettable. Highly recommend Captain Andy for anyone looking for a top-notch fishing adventure!

    4 Hour Trip on August 24, 2025 • 2 adults

    We went out for four hours with Captain Andy on the hunt for salmon. My husband and I both hit our limit on Coho. We had so much fun and Andy was a really enjoyable guy and a very good guide and instructor. I would definitely recommend this trip.

    Best Salmon and Halibut fishing of my life

    4 Hour Trip on July 15, 2026 • 2 adults

    Our Captain Andy was outstanding. Six of Seven Chinook with three double hookups in 45 minutes, then three halibut; one 60 pounds, one 55 pounds and one ten pounds. The big ones were too big to keep but loads of fun. Andy fileted the fish at the dock and put them on ice in our cooler

    Great half day at sea

    6 Hour Trip on June 25, 2026 • 2 adults

    My son and I had a good time out at sea with captain Andy - did some bottom fishing first, after a slow start things started picking up and we were landing good-sized lingcod in quick succession, which was a lot of fun. Switched to salmon later and managed to bag some coho and chinook. Andy knew the right spots and was very helpful and friendly throughout the trip.
