Fishing in Bowen Island

Bowen Island fishing charters offer an exceptional saltwater angling experience in the heart of British Columbia’s Howe Sound. Just a short distance from Vancouver, these charters provide access to rich migratory routes where all five Pacific salmon species—Chinook, Coho, Sockeye, Pink, and Chum—thrive year-round. The nutrient-dense waters also support seasonal prawning, crabbing, and occasional lingcod encounters, creating versatile fishing opportunities.

Guided by experienced local captains with decades of knowledge, trips range from half-day excursions to full-day adventures across diverse locations like the Gulf Islands and active salmon highways. Modern, well-equipped boats ensure safety and comfort while targeting prime fishing grounds, often accompanied by breathtaking coastal scenery and potential whale sightings.

Charters include all bait, tackle, and gear, with catch cleaning provided—guests need only bring appropriate clothing, sunscreen, and a valid fishing license. Whether pursuing trophy salmon or enjoying prawning during seasonal runs, Bowen Island fishing charters deliver tailored experiences for both novice and seasoned anglers against the backdrop of British Columbia’s stunning maritime landscapes.

I’m so glad we were able to go fishing vessel before are cruise to Alaska. We caught fish which is a bonus, but if we didn’t catch any Scott still would have made sure we had fun. You won’t be sorry. Go make some great memories!!

It's why they call it fishing not catching. Each week is different the fish move in and out so you never know what the season may bring.

Bring a raincoat... the weather can turn on a dime. Boat can get a little bouncy, but you very likely will NOT get seasick since the shore is close by. It was great having a bathroom aboard, and a very clean one at that. I can't imagine NOT catching fish with Captain Scott. He knows the area like nobody else.

We had a calm day on the water. The day before was very rough, but they caught more fish—just to say that with fishing you take your chances, but the experience was great!

Note the only keepers were the hatchery coho - we managed to catch quite a few wild ones and a couple of nice chinook, which were not allowed to keep in that area and time of year. Lots of action and limited out!

Captain Chris Speed is an expert and a super nice guy. He has fished out of Horseshoe Bay all his life. You will not find anyone more knowledgeable. My wife and I had never been salmon fishing and Chris explained everything from selecting spots to fish to the best way to catch and release. We most highly recommend Captain Chris and Built for Speed.

I brought my two nephews along with my family on a trip to Vancouver and we decided to do a 1/2 day salmon fishing charter. Chris was fantastic. We went out early and immediately catch multiple. When it started to slow he took us to great spot after spot. He was a fantastic knowledgeable guide and the boys and I had a blast. We will definitely be coming back and fishing with Chris again! It was a day to remember! Thank you!

A great days fishing. We didn't get the big fish we were hoping for but found the cause. Orca were in the area which were spectacular to see. It was still a fantastic morning on the water with Chris who is very experienced and tried very hard to find us more fish. But isn't that just fishing!!!

Had a great time time fishing with Chriss He contacted me way before my trip to make sure I am all set for the trip and walked me through all the required paperwork ( fishing licenses). We were not lucky enough to catch a keeper but we had a blash catching and releasing Chinooks and Wild Cohos. He explained all the safety aspects and how to use all the fishing tackle. If you want to catch some salmon and have fun while doing it, make sure to reach out to Chris.

My son and I went out with Captain Scott. He was such a cool guy! We caught so many fish we lost count. In addition, we saw humpback whales, sea lions, and sea otters. It really was a perfect morning.
