We had an awesome time fishing! Our weather wasn’t the greatest, but we still managed to catch a few fish. Al went above and beyond and gave us a few crab to take home. Al did everything he could be make us feel comfortable!

Captain Al is an incredibly experienced and personable guide. He worked hard to make sure we had a great time, whether we were catching fish or dealing with the ones that got away. His knowledge, professionalism, and positive attitude made the trip unforgettable. I highly recommend booking a tour with Captain Al—there’s always a surprise waiting for you on the water!

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.
