    Amazing trip

    Trophy Salmon Catch&Release on July 16, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

    Tory was our captain! We had an amazing fishing trip! Our captain was fantastic—friendly, down-to-earth, and clearly very experienced. He made the trip truly memorable! Not only we caught plenty of salmon and crabs, and he gave clear advice on what we could keep or should release, but also we witnessed feeding a bald eagle, passing by a pod of orcas. Highly recommend this experience!

    Half Day Trophy Salmon Trip with Captain Tory

    Trophy Salmon Catch&Release on June 26, 2023 • 2 adults

    Captain Tory was amazing, professional and very easy to chat with! We came from Saskatchewan to catch our first salmon and the captain got us on some beautiful chinook salmon! A fishing trip that I will remember for a long time! Highly recommend Goin Coastal Charters to anyone who wants to experience ocean salmon fishing, worth the money! Thank goodness the weather was really nice but it could have been less wavy. I got a little bit sea sick but that didn't matter! Didn't catch any keepers but that's even better, biggest being 24 pounds! I made a YouTube video of this trip on my channel (TTang Outdoors) for anyone who wants to see what it's like guided by Captain Tory. Check it out!

    Thanks for the great time Tory! Wicked trip I'd definately go again!

    Half Day Trip (PM) on July 18, 2023 • 2 adults

    Weather was great, views were great, and the salmon were biting! Went charter fishing for the first time and the experience was phenomenal! Thanks Tory for being such a great captain and host, he's been fishing his whole life and it definitely shows. Honestly Tory is the best choice for a boat/guide especially for first timers. Will definitely be booking again. Worth every cent. For anyone still reading, to book directly with Troy with his website "Goin Coastal Fishing". You get in contact with him there much more quickly that way.

    Best introduction to B.C. fishing we could have hoped for.

    Half Day Trip (PM) on July 3, 2023 • 4 adults

    We had a wonderful time out on the water building great memories. Tory is a gem of a captain. He really knows how to fish the local water and is patient and very personable. Great for people getting a taste of local fishing. We were especially lucky that we had good weather and the fish were biting. That is a recipe for an adventure that will be talked about for a lifetime. Highly recommend Tory. Just don’t take our spot next year. :)

    Half Day Trip with captain Tory

    Half Day Trip (PM) on July 16, 2022 • 4 adults

    We had so much fun, way more than what we have expected! Tory was so professional and wonderful to deal with. We were all very impressed with his multi-tasks ability: watching out the traffic, steering the boat, having great conversations with us, paying attention to the fishing situation, all handled perfectly at once! We ended up with 6 Salmon, lots of crabs and tons of joyful experience (plus a great feast from the catch). We are looking forward to have another trip with Tory again.

    Covid Safe Fishing Experience!

    Half Day Trip - Winter Special (AM) on January 15, 2021 • 2 adults

    We booked a 4 hour fishing experience but with covid concerns, we weren't sure if we should continue with our plans. We talked with Tory who let us know we were the only two going that morning and Al, our captain, wore a mask for our entire trip...we had ours as well. They had all the safety equivalent and went over all protocol prior to leaving. The boat was very clean and organized! Al was very kind and extremely knowledgeable with fishing as he had been doing this since he was a boy, fishing with his dad. He took us out where he knew the fish would be active and set everything up. It was exciting watching when the lines jerked when we had a bite then the rush of reeling in was amazing! Al taught us after how to properly gut the salmon we caught....they are beyond delicious! We hit a beautiful January day and the sun was out...this trip was fantastic! Thank you Al and Tory for such an amazing experience. We will definitely be back!

    Half day charter

    Half Day Trip (PM) on August 21, 2022 • 2 adults

    This was our first time fishing off shore and had a great time, couldn’t recommend it enough. Tory cleaned our catch for us and helped instruct what would be best for getting it home since we’re flying out. Incredibly helpful and easy going to make this first charter we’ve done a breeze. Thankfully it was a beautiful day, and a great bonus that the fish were biting! I know that’s not always a given. Thanks again!

Tory is an experienced guide that knows the area and how to catch fish. We'd definitely use him again the next time we're in Sooke. Boat is roomy, safe, and clean. It was a pleasure being on the water with him

Tori got us on fish, brought home a nice coho and chinook. Released one well over 20 pounds. Would definitely recommend Tori to anyone who wants a great Canadian fishing experience.
