Hi, my name is Brannen Paradis, and I'm the sole owner and captain of Getter Done Charters. I started this company in 2022. I decided to start my own company because of my passion for fishing on the ocean. I've been fishing ever since I was old enough and just grew to love it! I have more hours on the water than I do on land, and I want to share my passion with others and get clients out on the beautiful ocean.

    Fish On!!

    4 Hour trip Nanaimo PM2 adults

    We had very relaxing time. We headed out at Noon on a 4 hour charter. Brannen, our captain, had crab traps soaking before picking us up. He promised we'd catch salmon and we did. After a 20 minute boat ride, he set up everything. All WE had to do was sit and enjoy the sea air. We had FISH ON within the 1st 15 minutes. What I appreciated was how he set the hook and then handed over the rod to my buddy to reel in the 10 lb. salmon. We caught 4 more within our alloted time, even though the bite is slower in the afternoon. He did all the work, while we enjoyed the experience of reeling in the prize. Thanks Brannen! If I'm in the area, I will most definitely hire you again!

    Half day trip out of Nanaimo - 12:00 PM4 adults2 children

    Travelled from Alberta with the grand boys during Spring break knowing the weather can be challenging at times. Best for them to experience fishing on the coast in March rather than the last trip they had with Brannen in August when fishing was tropical. Weather window worked out perfect with sun and a bit of wind but no rain. Brannen was a great skipper and a passionate experienced fisherman, the boys had a great time. Lost count of the fish we had to release including 1 Rock Cod and ! Pacific Cod. The Keeper was a 10 lb. Chinook. Yes this would be a repeat charter next time on the Coast. Oh, forgot the, crabs 4 keepers. Terry

    Fun trip

    4 hour trip Nanaimo AM4 adults

    Our 4 hour trip was great! Captain Brannen was very knowledgeable and got us on fish. We limited out on Chinooks and caught a couple Cohos, but had to let them go because they’re wilds. We also got a couple crabs as well. Definitely recommend booking this charter and hope to come back soon for a longer trip! Thank you for a great time out on the waters!
