Captain Turk took me out with my 14-year-old triplets.  There is never a guarantee of fish, but we started catching salmon the moment the lines were in the water.  Everyone got a chance to land a salmon and we even got a few to take home for dinner.  Captain Turk is great.  Even if we hadn’t caught a thing, it would have been a nice morning on the water with Captain Turk. I highly recommend this charter!

Turks was great and he obviously loves what he does.  The trip was perfect for two seniors with limited fishing experience.  We were well advised every step of the way.  The lovely salmon we brought home was the icing on the cake.

Great trip with Turk out of Nanaimo, with my mother and nephew in tow - neither of whom have very much experience fishing for salmon in tidal waters.  Captain was very patient with their learning curve, and guided us to a limit of Chinook including 3 over 70cm.  A couple of Coho as bonuses as well.  Exceeded my expectations for the catch on such a short outing!

Charter boat is conveniently located right next to the Departure Bay ferry terminal with ample parking. Captain Turk has excellent knowledge of the area and where the salmon are. Although we caught 12 salmon they were either too small, too big or wild chinook which had to be put back. Captain Turk is a great story teller and we still enjoyed our time.  Overall we had a great experience with Reel Time charters and would recommend them.

I got this experience as a gift for my husband and father-in-law and they had nothing but good things to say. Despite heavy rainfall, Captain Andrew worked hard all afternoon to ensure they had a great time. Lots of salmon caught and were able to take home a nice big Chinook. I know it will be a great forever memory for them.
