An Unforgettable Fishing Experience - Highly Recommended!

Half Day – Customized (1 Person)4 adults

Our recent charter fishing trip was nothing short of amazing! From start to finish, the experience was flawless, and it’s all thanks to Captain Scott. Not only was he incredibly experienced, but his deep knowledge of the local waters and fishing technique ensured that everyone on board had a chance to reel in a fish. The weather was perfect, the scenery was beautiful and Captain Scott made sure we were all comfortable and ready to fish. He was patient, enthusiastic, and really knew how to read the water to maximize our chances of success. It wasn’t just about catching fish—it was about making the whole trip enjoyable and memorable for everyone, no matter the skill level. We left with smiles on our faces and fish stories to tell. If you are looking for a top-tier fishing experience, this trip is a must. Highly recommend!

    Amazing trip with Captain Scott!

    Half Day – Customized (2 People) • 2 adults

    Captain Scott was wonderful. We had a great half-day trip with him. He is very knowledgeable and even showed us some basic fishing 101. The 30-foot boat was comfortable — we never felt seasick — and the equipment was top tier. The fish were really biting and we caught our limits. He also gave us a bit of a tour and shared a lot of history about the area, so it felt like a fishing trip and a guided tour in one. At the end we were lucky enough to meet “Rusty” and family, a group of seals in the area that we got to feed and see up close. Could not have asked for a better trip. Highly recommend to anyone looking to spend time on the water while in Vancouver.

    Unbelievable!!!

    Half Day – Customized (5 People) • 5 adults

    This was an immaculate experience from beginning until end. Captain Scott has a perfect mix of knowledge, expertise, humor, and professionalism to make your experience unbelievable. Aside from catching a plethora of gorgeous and delicious salmon, we saw a family of orca whales and several bald eagles. The views are difficult to describe while you are out on those waters as it seems like a movie. Praying that my friends and I can get back out to West Vancouver to do it again some day.

    These fish sure FIGHT!

    Half Day – Customized (2 People) • 2 adults

    We had an absolute blast on our trip with Scott. He’s not happy unless you are catching fish and he’ll do everything in his power to ensure you do. We battled 30kt winds and more logs than a beaver would know what to do with, still managed to land 5 of 7. His vessel is spotless, has the latest electronics and i doubt he’d run out of stories even on a full day trip. I can’t say enough about my experience, book it and see for yourself. 11/10 would definitely fish with him again!

    Mongoose Striker ROCKS!!!!!!!

    Half Day – Customized (4 People) • 4 adults • 3 children

    Weather was snotty. Fish weren't cooperating. Nevertheless, of the hundreds of dive and fishing charters I've booked over the years, the 1/2 day on Mongoose Striker is in my all-time Top 5. My kids (11, 9, 9) had an absolute blast. Time of their lives. All thanks to Captain Scott Sutherland. Knowledgeable, funny, patient, professional. Walked the kids through everything. Everyone hooked up, boated two, and Scott had my son take a DNA sample with a hole punch to the tail. Awesome. Two thumbs up.

    nice trip, but…

    Half Day – Customized (5 People) • 5 adults • 3 children

    I like leaving very honest reviews. PROS: -A very nice way of learning about this type of salmon fishing. -Great ship and equipment -Captain Scott was very commited to finding more spots to catch fish for us. he even gave us a little extra time. -cut down the salmon for us and gave us the not useful parts to feed the seals. (My kids loved it. -Brought 4 nice salmon back ! CONS: -I wish I had known the captain was a tobacco smoker. most of the time out there we were breathing cigarette smoke. And my nose goes super stuffy with it.. and 3 kids around. maybe I should have said something but sometimes you don’t feel comfortable bringing this issues up when it is not your boat and you are the guest. -he was definitely good and professional but I had this feeling he wasn’t particularly patient with kids. my kids are super well behaved believe me they did super well.. but still I didn’t seem paricularly convinced on his way of adressing to them. With kids you need to be extra nice if you are offering a service (I am not that patient with kids myself but I know what it takes ). He was good don’t get me wrong, there was just some charisma missing there.
