We are Don & Steph Merlo, the family team behind Southern Swell Coastal Adventures, proudly calling Sooke home as we raise our family surrounded by the stunning beauty of the West Coast. Life here revolves around the ocean - from rugged shorelines to endless horizon views - and we love sharing that lifestyle with others.
Don served 14 years in the Canadian Navy, where his respect for the sea and seamanship skills were forged. Today, that experience - combined with his lifelong passion for fishing - shines through in every charter he runs, delivering safe, knowledgeable, and memorable days on the water.
Together we bring local roots, family values, and a genuine love for the outdoors to every trip. Come join the Southern Swell family and experience Sooke from the water.

Ashley Foster5.0Verificeret⭐️ An Unforgettable Family Fishing Adventure! 🎣
Halvdagstur AM – Laks • 5 voksne • 2 børnOur family had such an awesome fishing trip, and we couldn’t have asked for a better captain than Don! 🎣🐟 Don knew the area incredibly well and did a fantastic job sharing his knowledge, answering our questions, and teaching our boys all about the equipment, fishing techniques, and the area we were fishing. It was such a fun and educational experience for the whole family! Whether you’re an experienced fisherman or a family heading out for your first salmon fishing experience, we highly recommend Captain Don! 🙌 🎣 He made the entire trip enjoyable, relaxed, and memorable. Thank you, Don, for an amazing day on the water! 🌊🐟 We’ll definitely be talking about this fishing trip for a long time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Diana Barthel5.0VerificeretAmazing fishing and trapping experience!
Nite Bite– Eftermiddag • 4 voksne • 2 børnMy family cannot recomend Captain Don enough! We had been canceled on the day before by a different company so we decided to try again with Southern Swells and I am so glad we did! He checked the tides to give us the best possible start time and we all learned so much during our trip! Our 2 kids were with us (5 and 7) and he answered all their questions and kept them so involved in the process of trolling and checking traps. He even lent us his own kids life jackets for the trip so we didn't have to worry about sourcing some. They raved about our fishing trip the whole way back home! So so thankful we found Captain Don and his family business, we had the best time out on the water. If we are ever back in the area we will book with nobody else but Captain Don at Southern Swell!

Hvad bider på krogen med Southern Swell Coastal Adventures i Sooke
Dette kunne være din sidste chance for at opleve Sooke-fiskeri for fuld udblæsning, mens der stadig kan findes masser af Laks offshore. Fluefiskere kan tage til floden for at få en chance for at fange Ketalaks.

What a day on the water out of Sooke! Calm seas, sunny skies, and plenty of action made for a memorable trip. Today's crew headed back to the dock with an impressive mixed catch featuring halibut, black cod, and Dungeness crab.
Halibut fishing continues to be a major highlight around Sooke, with anglers finding success on the banks and offshore structure. Black cod activity has also been picking up!
June is traditionally one of the best months to target Halibut in the Sooke area!!

What a day on the water with an awesome group aboard Southern Swell Coastal Adventures! We were blessed with beautiful weather, calm seas, and nonstop action from start to finish. The crew hauled in some incredible halibut, quality lingcod, and loaded up on fresh Dungeness crab to top it all off. Lots of laughs, great company, and coolers full of fresh West Coast seafood made for a fishing trip to remember. Days like this are what it’s all about — adventure, memories, and unforgettable moments on the ocean. ☀️
