What to expect…
- Having fun and enjoying the experience is what it’s all about! It’s your choice of how we spend the day. We can focus on Salmon or Halibut fishing, bottom fishing for Rockfish and Lingcod, go sightseeing for Whales, Sealions, Porpoises, Eagles and other wildlife, or do it all! We can also drop Crab traps and pick them up at the end of the day! Just let us know what time you would like to start, usually 7am or earlier if you choose. Keep in mind that day charters are 10 hours total, and we need to be back in the marina and finished by 5:00pm.
- We will clean and bag your fish for transport. If you want to have your fish processed, Rupert Meats and Dolly’s fish market in Prince Rupert offers professional fish processing, vacuum sealing and flash freezing at reasonable prices.
Families with children are welcome!

Safety…
-
Safety is our first priority…period! If the marine conditions are poor or if we assess that it isn’t totally safe to go out, we will cancel the charter for that day. We will re-schedule for another day or refund your payment or deposit.
