LICENSES

Getting Your BC Fishing License

Before we hit the water, let’s make sure you’re geared up and ready to go! To fish in British Columbia, all anglers are required to carry a valid fishing license. To make your trip as smooth as possible, we ask that you purchase your license online prior to your charter date.

  • We are fishing in the ocean, you need a Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licence.
  • Who needs one: Regulations vary slightly by age, but generally, all anglers need a license. Children under 16 still require a license, but it is often free of charge.
  • Keep it on you: You must carry a printed or digital copy of your license with you at all times during the charter.
