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. We had a pretty late season booking but Captain Alonso made sure he found the hot spots. I definitely recommend Unreel Fishing Charters!

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!

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

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.

Great appreciation to Captain Lonni. The boat was great as well. Lonni worked very hard, was very accommodating, kind and very knowledgeable. We all had a great time and would encourage anyone thinking of booking out of Nanaimo to book with these folks. We caught many fish and had a great time!
