Glassy Ocean, Great Fishing.
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!

Great Family Trip
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.

Fantastic experience!
What an awesome experience with Unreel Charters. Captain Blake was so knowledgeable, professional and patient with novice anglers! Being out on the water in the early evening was so lovely and the fishing was great too. I would highly recommend this charter. 5 stars
