King Tide Charters – The Hawk 

Great morning on the water with Captain Shane. The coho and chinook were biting and definitely a lucky day with even a double-header! Topped it off with a bunch of crabs which we kept a couple Dungeness and a Red Rock to steam for dinner. Captain Shane was great, moving us between spots and testing mid-depth, then moving to deeper for us to find the Chinook. Great chatting with him and learning about the area and all the animals and fish in the area. Thanks!

We had a group of 4 who had little to no experience. Captain Shane gave clear instructions and helpful tips. It was super nice out on the water and we were all enjoying the beautiful weather and scenery. We caught 2 large Chinook Salmon and a small Lingcod which I feel is pretty good for only 2 hours out on the water. Would definitely book again! If I were to do it again I might even book a longer expedition but 2 hours was the perfect amount of time to see what it was like. 10/10

Had an awesome day salmon fishing in Sooke, BC aboard the Hawk—seriously the perfect boat for these waters. Smooth ride, tons of space, and handled the conditions like a champ. We were into salmon early and stayed on the bite most of the trip. Nothing beats that moment when the rod loads up and the reel starts screaming. Landed some beautiful fish and lost a couple that definitely kept things exciting. Captain Shane knew exactly where to go and kept everything running effortlessly. Super professional but still laid-back and fun—made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a solid salmon charter in Sooke, highly recommend getting out on the River Hawk. Can’t beat it.

Had a good trip with Captain Andrew, we managed to snag ourselves a really nice halibut! We unfortunately weren’t able to go salmon trolling on the way back due to some equipment issues. It was a special request that they tried to accommodate. Would definitely book again.

We booked the evening salmon trip with Captain Shane and the whole experience was top notch. My wife and three young boys all came and Captain Shane made sure everyone caught fish. He even let the kids throw a crab trap on the way out and helped them pull up so many crabs on the way back in. Very good experience!

Everyone enjoyed the time on the boat catching salmon, crabbing, and catching rockfish. The captain was wonderful, very knowledgable for such a young man and enjoy engaging with all of us. I would recommend choosing king tide charters.

The boat was very well maintained, the crew was very knowledgable and friendly, we didnt catch our targeted fish but had tons of fun fishing, not to mention we got our full limit of crab so that was the cherry on top, i 100% recommend King Tide Charters!

We had a great experience - caught lots of fish and crab, Captain Shane was knowledgeable and patient with the kids, the boat was great and it made fishing and crabbing so accessible and seamless. Thank you so much!

Father son trip. Captain Shane was awsome. We had so much fun we booked a evening trip right on the boat for the next day. We dropped crab traps and he had us on Salmon within minutes of dropping the lines.

Will recommend to all my friends and colleagues. Great day of fishing and will schedule another trip next year, but next tume make it an all day trip. Very professional and experienced outfit.
