RDX Fishing Charters - Your Gateway to the waters around Richmond, Vancouver, Lower Sunshine Coast, Howe Sound and the Gulf Islands.
RDX Fishing Charters offers unforgettable fishing adventures on the scenic waters surrounding Richmond, Vancouver, the lower Sunshine Coast and the Gulf Islands. Led by Captain Ben Ly, a seasoned angler with many years of local fishing experience, our mission is to deliver an exceptional day on the water—filled with great catches, stunning views, and lasting memories.
Fully licensed, insured, and certified by Transport Canada, Captain Ben will guide you in targeting some of British Columbia’s most sought-after species, including Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon (Hatchery Marked), Pink Salmon (odd years), and Sockeye Salmon (when in season). For our extended 8+ hour trips, we’ll venture across the Strait to pursue Lingcod and Rockfish (May 1 – Sept 30. Fuel Surchage applies due to distance). At certain times of the year, guests can also enjoy the added experience of dropping crab and prawn traps for a taste of BC’s finest seafood.
Our 25 foot enclosed cabin aluminum fishing boat comfortably accommodates up to 5 guests and is fully equipped with downriggers, pot pullers, top-quality gear, safety equipment, heated cabin, and an onboard toilet. Families are welcome and encouraged.
Please contact the captain to confirm what is open because certain parts of the year certain salmon species may be closed or only catch and release.
Meetup locations change depending on time of year and where we will be fishing. Captain will confirm location.
** PLEASE NOTE the listed charter pricing does NOT include the fishing license, 5% GST Tax, and gratuities.

Captain Ben was awesome! Communication leading up to our trip was smooth, and he even gave us flexible date options so bad weather wouldn't ruin our plans. He sent clear instructions for parking and getting our licenses, and his boat was very clean. He's super personable and easy to talk to, and he was amazing with our 6-year-old while keeping things fun for the adults too. We caught a variety of salmon (partly thanks to a last-minute location pivot he made so we could have best chances for fishing fun). We thought most of the fish would be catch-and-release, but were pleasantly surprised and we actually got to bring some delicious fish home for dinner! Thanks so much, Captain Ben!
Thank you for the review Marie. Your family was great company and it was a pleasure to spend time with them on the water. Enjoy the rest of your time in Vancouver and safe travels back to NY & TX.
This was my first time fishing ever and I doubt it could have been any better. With Ben’s guidance i caught 9 (!!) salmon and loved every bit of the process. The best part was the end of the day, when Ben decided to stay out for longer so that my friend and I could have a go at catching some larger fish. Two large chinook salmon hooked at the same time and after some epic fighting we both landed them, which was the perfect end to the day. I am definitely hooked myself .. only problem is that I doubt it gets any better!!
thanks for the review! I enjoyed the day we spent together. here are some pictures of the big fish which you both did a great job bringing in. safe travels home!
I have done many fishing trips in the past especially in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Captain Ben was amazing! We were his top priority and did everything to keep us safe and happy. He taught us so much about the salmon and was awesome at finding good locations and made reeling in the salmon unforgettable! We had such success that the trip went far too fast! Even my reluctant Grandaughter excitedly brought in a salmon and even held it for pictures. I so appreciate all Captain Ben did to make our day so memorable. I highly recommend his fishing tours.
thank you for the kind words Sharon. I have to thank you for being great guests and an amazing positive attitude.
We had an amazing time with Ben as our fishing guide! Even though it was a slower day on the water, the experience was absolutely top-notch from start to finish. Ben made us feel like we'd known him for years — easy to talk to, incredibly knowledgeable, and genuinely focused on making sure everyone had a great time. His positive attitude and personality turned the trip into much more than just fishing. As an added bonus, we were able to bring home fresh shrimp and crab, which made the day even more memorable! If you're looking for a guide who creates a fun, relaxed, and enjoyable experience regardless of how the fish are biting, Ben is your guy. Highly recommend!
thank you for the review Dennis. I hope you, Mirza, Mike and Harry had a great time during your trip to Vancouver. Hope to see you guys again if you are ever back in town!
We went out with Captain Ben for a 6 hour trip. He made the experience enjoyable for myself, my father, and my 12 year old son. Captain Ben made a point to learn our names and continuously teach us what we were doing out there. It was just a thing where he would catch the fish and us reel. My son walked away from the dock that day saying that it was the best time fishing he'd ever had. Highly recommend!
thank you for the review. It was a treat for me to have all 3 generations of the Mulder family onboard to enjoy a great day on the water!
