Hoping to catch some fish around Gabriola? Make it happen, with Fisherman's Life Charters! Come enjoy the day on our 30 foot kingfisher with all the room and amenities! Your guide for the day is Captain Joe, Erin or Bob, which means you'll tap into decades of knowledge and experience of the local waters.
Depending on the season, you might hook into Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, Pink Salmon, Chum Salmon, Lingcod, various species of Rockfish, Dungeness Crab, BC Spot Prawns, and who knows what else! Depending on the species you’re after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available. Don't forget to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
Your excursion begins aboard a 25' Profisher pilothouse with capacity for 5 passengers. It comes with downriggers, and all the essentials. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
We also operate a second vessel 28ft Kingfisher Pilothouse with its own listing, Go-Fish Charters if you are looking to accommodate more passengers, or if the dates you are searching are booked.
Rods, reels, and tackle are provided, as well as lures.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Before coming aboard, you will need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species may be off limits or require a special tag, so make sure you know what to expect.
You can't go wrong when you bring sunglasses, a hat, sunblock (non-spray), and bottled water. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
And that's it! Your fishing trip with Fisherman's Life Charters is just a click away!

We had a wonderful trip with Joe and Erin. Erin was so knowledgeable about the marine life and Joe had us on the fish. Conversation was great, views were spectacular and we wrestled fish into the boat. Gabriola is a wonderful island and we made an entire day of it. I highly recommend.
