Ucuelet is our go to place for summer fishing. I have been there both on friends boats and with other charters. I have to say this is by far the best experience I have ever had. Curtis is very professional and it shows in his equipment and personality. He knows the fishing grounds well and was always checking to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. If we made mistakes when fishing he was always very professional about explaining things. We will definitely book again with Curtis again.

I just recently went on my first fishing trip with Curtis Chaplin of Overtime Charters and had a blast! Curtis has many, many years of experience fishing the Ucluelet area and it shows.
He knows where to go and how to catch the fish. He absolutely went the extra mile to make sure we left with a ton of fish!
If you’re new to fishing, Curtis will show you how. If you’re experienced, he’ll set you up. I enjoyed the many stories Curtis shared. He is very friendly and very welcoming.
You will also be very hard pressed to find a charter with a nicer fishing boat.
Highly recommend.

We have thoroughly enjoyed all of our highly successful fishing adventures with Curtis!  He is so knowledgeable about where to find the fish and what gear is most effective.  His clear instructions and support as you bring in a hooked fish are such that you can feel comfortable that the fish will be in the boat.  In each of the four occasions fishing with Curtis, we have limited out on Coho and Spring salmon - and got our share of halibut. 
Curtis’s boat is of such a size as to be safe and comfortable no matter the water.  Of course, he is cautious about deciding where to fish given the water conditions.
So, if you are looking for expert guidance in catching salmon and halibut, Curtis and Overdrive is an excellent choice.  Overdrive Charters demonstrates Curtis’s fishing style: locate the fish, use the right gear, support each guest to bring in the fish, and, do all the cleaning/filleting of the catch in preparation for packaging.  A class operation to be enjoyed!

This summer, my dad took me out on a wonderful trip on Captain Curtis’ charter in Ucluelet. It was the best day of my whole summer. In a few hours, we saw more things than some people see in days at sea. We saw whales, sharks, lots and lots of fish, pelicans, and more! Curtis make the trip welcoming and interesting, and helped us all catch lots of fish. It was amazing.

Once in a lifetime experience on the water. Captain Curtis is such a knowledgeable and professional guy to be out there with, along with a great sense of humour. Fishing was a bit slow but he sure works to get you on some fish and truly pays attention to his customers comfort on the water, had an amazing day on the water, definitely recommend. Thank you Curtis!
