We are glad you enjoyed your time onboard with us Ken! We look forward to seeing you again.
Booked a charter with Rising Tide with my brother as a Fatherโs Day/retirement gift for my dad. The owner/operator, Chris, was super responsive, patient, informative, and kind. He helped me rebook my trip without any problems. The captain, Don, was incredibly charismatic and knowledgeable. We originally had an even trip booked, however Don informed us that the weather would be too bad, and was instead able to fit us in for the same morning instead! This worked out great for us. We even got to see orcas! Iโd recommend this charter to anyone.

Although it was Thanksgiving weekend, the weather gods were looking out for us. 15 degrees and 8 km/h winds. Made for a picture perfect morning. Within 20 minutes of leaving the dock, we had a crab trap dropped and lines in the water. We knew the fishing was going to be slower that time of year and it was. The fish were way deeper than they had been just a few days before; they went from 55 ft down to 120 ft. Hearing the radio chatter, our captain Don was the only one to figure this out. In the end we were able to land 4 whoppers. Had we not hired the right guide, I doubt very much that we would have even gotten a nibble. My son and I had a fantastic time. We highly recommend this charter.

Hey Mike. Appreciate the review. We are super happy you guys enjoyed the time with us! This time of year is always pretty tricky and our guide work hard to ensure the best possible outcome for our guests! We look forward to seeing you again!
My wife and I went out with Don on our honeymoon and it was an absolute blast. Don and Chris went above and beyond to make it an awesome experience and it sure was. Don was our captain and heโs a fantastic guy. Salt of the earth dude and extremely knowledgeable. Sounds like Chris is the same way! We caught salmon, crabs and we saw wildlife we were hoping to see on our trip. Seals, humpback whales, bald eagle, and at the end of the night we saw a Sitka black tail buck at the point. Super cool. Don cleaned what we caught and we made a delicious salmon and crab meal when we got home. Couldnโt recommend these guys enough. Fantastic experience!

Richard was our captain and guide.ย He is an extremely knowledgeable fellow who has grown up on the waters around Sooke and knows the habits of fish very well.ย The day was glorious fairly warm as we started out with an hazy orange sunrise.ย Herds of deer on the early morning streets.ย Three seals on the docks as we approached the Rising Tide.ย Fishing was light.ย We had a very nice wild coho that we had to turn back, but got a very nice medium size Chinook.ย We lost one other nice one and caught a tiny chinook which of course we released.ย We enjoyed talking with Richard and would charter with him in the future.ย The privilege of being out on the water of the Salish Sea cannot be exaggerated.

Hi Budd. We totally appreciate your kind words and feedback. Richard is truly a great guy who definitely knows his stuff. We are glad you had a great experience and definitely look forward to seeing you again.
I booked with the Rising Tide Coastal Adventures to take my father for his birthday. We had a good tide and trip went amazing with 2 massive salmons and 1 rockfish to take home. Don knows local waters well and took us to all the good spots for a big catch. My father had the most wonderful time in his fishing career when landing his 16lbs salmon. The channel is bustling with life of seabirds like murrelets, guillemots, and animals like seals, and otters for bird/wildlife watchers too. I enjoyed learning about local wildlife from chill and knowledgeable captain & co-captain. We had an absolute blast and hope to do it again in another year!
