We booked Bradan’s charter in late July and it was fantastic. We had a family group of 7 and it was the only boat we could find that could handle that many people. Bradan was a great guide.

Had an amazing outing with Capt Braden - in addition to great boat skills, Capt. Braden is passionate about and knowledgeable of the area and its natural history elements.

We had a fantastic time on the water today. We gained lots of knowledge surrounding the coast and had an amazing trip. We caught many species of fish to bring home as well as some crab and prawns. We highly recommend this experience to anyone and everyone. Bradan was extremely knowledgeable and kind. Thanks again!

We booked with Bradan at the last minute. Fortunately he had an opening to fit us in.  Caught lots of fish, more enjoyable was the “out of his way” back to the dock. Taking in sightings of humpbacks, porpoises , sea lions among other wildlife. Would highly recommend the valuable expertise offered by Bradan.
