I was on a cruise that stopped in Victoria BC and wanted to do some fishing. These guys worked with my schedule and made a great day of fishing happen.I ended up catching all four main species of fish that day! Cam was my Captain for the day and was extremely professional and polite. the boat and gear were great, and I will definitely fish with these guys again. Even caught my personal best king salmon.

We had an awesome trip. We caught plenty of fish and even got up close to some seals and bald eagles, all against the backdrop of some beautiful scenery. Captain Al was the perfect person to take us on a memorable trip.

It was our first time fishing on a charter boat, and we weren’t sure what to expect. Captain Al went above and beyond making this trip special. He was very engaging.and made sure my son was included in the set up and catching of the fish. Completely worth it!
