Thank you to the entire team at Unreel Fishing Charters for an amazing day out on the water. Captain Alonso was super amazing, very knowledgeable,. courteous and professional.

Glassy Ocean, Great Fishing.
Half Day Trip (PM) on July 17, 20252 adults
Our experience on the ocean was fantastic. Had lots of different fish on the lines! Our Captain, Lonni knew how to navigate everything to make the most of it, he had a great personality and knew his stuff. The boat was in great shape and very clean. We put a crab basket out early in the trip and when we came back there was tons of legal crabs in it. We got really lucky with wind conditions. Went home with something to eat and it was delicious!

Best Fishing Charter I have taken.
Half Day Trip (PM) on August 15, 20252 adults2 children
We are repeat customers having had such a great experience last year with Captain Blake. Well , it was the same story as last year. I’m not much of an angler so Captain Blake really took charge with the grandkids. They had such a great time. Thank you Captain Blake for such a memorable experience 🙂. We will see you next year

Great Family Trip
Evening Night Bite on July 4, 20254 adults
Our family went on our first-ever fishing trip together, and it was an amazing experience. Lonni was a fantastic guide — not only did he teach us the fishing techniques, but he also shared lots of interesting stories about Vancouver Island. Thanks to his help, my brother, sister, and I all caught fish! It was a day we won’t forget.
