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.

    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.

    Mongoose Striker ROCKS!!!!!!!

    Half Day – Customized (4 People)4 adults3 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.

    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!

    Great day

    Scott put us on the fish and even though it was slow in patches, he kept trying. We had 2 keepers and let another 5 go. He's very knowledgeable and wanted to make sure we had a good experience. I'd highly recommend it
