Maximum Coastal Adventures
Ucluelet has a fish with your name on it, so let Maximum Coastal Adventures help you catch it!
Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Halibut, Lingcod, Rockfish, and more could be biting, depending on when you go. Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself spinning, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. James also offers fly fishing!
Capt. James will bring you aboard a Pursuit 2470 Walkaround with room for 4 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without! There's also a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with all the latest lures to ensure success.
You need to get a local fishing license before the trip. This information is available online, or you can ask the captain.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, feel free.

Half Day Morning Fishing Charter
Awesome! Best fishing experience ever. We highly recommend James at Maximum Coastal Adventures as he is a true professional guide and knows the waters and where to fish. This was quite evident with us catching our Chinook quota in the first hour. He then took us us to reefs and areas where we where we were able to catch a good size Ling COD, 6 Black Rock fish and the trifecta, a good size Halibut. Thank you James for a wonderful day of fishing.

James Costello created an amazing experience for our family fishing trip and put us on to great fish. We had the best of both worlds, focused professional fish guiding and knowledgeable, friendly tour guiding. He can adapt his coaching skills to beginner and advanced fisherman and helped us catch salmon, lung cod and bottom fish. We were able to see whales, porpoises, sea otters, sea lions, and eagles. We highly recommend fishing with James. 10 out of 10!

We got the trip, and then some, with our fishing adventure with James at Maximum Coastal Adventures. James is very knowledgeable of the area as well as the fish species. He is/was very attentive to our needs and wishes. We were always on the fish. We had rain and sun, but most importantly, we had fun. James did not make us feel as clients fulfilling a mad fishing trip, but as friends out enjoying a day on the ocean fishing. Along with sightseeing, he also gave us some history of the area and natives. We have already rebooked for our fishing trip next year.

Unreal Day with James
My husband and I recently had the absolute best day on the water with James. He got us into so many fish of many different varieties that we now have a full freezer! We will definitely be back fishing with Maximum Coastal Adventures.
