Julian Gaynor5.0VerifiedGreat family trip with Rugged Coast Charters
4 Hour Special- AM on May 26, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a fantastic morning with Captain Jesse, the 4 of us all caught Salmon and my 9 year old son caught a monster Ling Cod! Jesse put us straight onto the fish and I was onto 12lb Chinook within 25 minutes of leaving the pontoon! Jesse was very knowledgeable and it was great fun for all the family being on the boat with lots of wildlife to see. The booking was super smooth with Jesse and his team really helpful and responsive with our queries.
Alexander GazimovRepeat angler5.0VerifiedThank you, Captain Jesse
5 Hour Trip-AM on August 28, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 childOne of the best fishing experiences I’ve had. I’ve been on a dozen or so similar fishing trips around the world, and this one really stood out. The captain was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and did an excellent job creating a fun, friendly, and relaxed environment throughout the trip. A fantastic experience from start to finish, and one I would highly recommend.
Curtis Woloschuk5.0VerifiedIncredible day on the water!
5 Hour Trip-PM on August 15, 2026 • 2 adultsPerfect day of fishing. Jesse was fantastic. He knew where to go and had us on fish in no time! Not only that, he did an anazing job cleaning the catch and making sure the boat stayed clean after each battle. I cannot think of one thing that could have been better. Thank you Jesse!
