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.

Tough Day of Fishing, but a great time!
6hr Fishing Charter on May 8, 20264 adults

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!

Best trip ever!
6 Hour Charter(Flexible Start Time) on July 17, 20262 adults1 child

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!

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon

Amazing day for our family with Ben
5 Hour Morning Charter on June 5, 20264 adults

Ben was not only knowledge about the area and his boat and a skilled fisherman, but led us in a fishing experience with heart. Instead of doing the work for my husband and our sons and then taking pictures of them with fish and crabs, he coached them through the catches so that they could truly say they succeeded at the catch. He was encouraging and made it fun. He also cared about doing what's best for the fish we released. As a family man.himself, he knew how to maximize the experience for our family. My guys caught several fish and hauled in lots of crabs.

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon

Caltian Ben Ly for the win
6hr Charter on September 27, 20251 adult

So freaking smart, so generous with his teaching and sharing, he excuted an extraordinary level of detail when it came to the terminal tackle setups and presentations, and offered detailed coaching on the minor things that make a big difference in the fighting and netting of a fish. Oh and the boat setup is level 100. On top of that, Captain Ben is just a good human and actually truly went the extra mile(s) for both myself and his other guests that day. My favorite take away was how he described triggering Salmons aggression instinct with the flashers and terminal tackle. I kinda always thought that phrase aggression instinct was like "fighting back". But he connected it to the instinctual habit of feeding, not from hunger, but the gut reaction to attack prey. He described it like a cat chasing a laser pointer, they almost can't stop themselves, and its not cause theyre hungry or gaining anything from swatting at the laser dot. … mind…blown…. Anyway, the cabin is nice and shielded from the winds, the equipment feels well maintained, the vibe onboard is positive and educational and tenacious for getting on fish. I cant wait to go out with Captain Ben early next summer and get after some Ling Cod and Prawns.

Great Day at Sea
6hr Charter on September 21, 20254 adults

Captain Ben was fantastic. Easy to reach, quick to communicate with, and kept us well-informed about the weather leading up to our trip. Out on the water, he explained everything about fishing in a way that made us feel safe, confident, and excited to learn more about salmon fishing. We had plenty of action with multiple bites, and thanks to Ben's guidance, we successfully landed a beautiful 23lb Chinook! Even when the waves picked up during the second half of the trip, Ben made sure we always felt safe and comfortable. We hooked into a few more fish, though some were undersized or slipped away—but that just added to the thrill. Overall, it was a fun and memorable trip, and I wouldn't hesitate to head out with Captain Ben again next time!

Reported catch:
Chinook Salmon
