CHARTER LOCATION

LOCATION IS EVERYTHING!

THE BEST CHARTER BOAT LOCATION IN VANCOUVER!

Easy charter plans start with a prime location. Boats are moored on Granville Island, right in the heart of Vancouver. We’re minutes from all major hotels and 20 minutes from Vancouver International Airport. Granville Island is also Vancouver’s top tourist attraction, a large public market with restaurants, that can be explored after your charter with us! Upon booking we will give you driving directions to the charter boat office and instructions on parking. Taking a taxi or Uber from downtown will run you about $15 CAD.

We offer full-day and half-day charters, with set departure times. Full-day charters start at 7:00 AM as do the morning half-day charters. We also have afternoon half-days departing at 1:00 PM. At the end of your charter your catch will be cleaned and bagged.

SUMMER SALMON FISHING

PRIME TIME FOR FISHING IN VANCOUVER

From July through to September our local waters around Vancouver offer consistent salmon fishing for all five species of Pacific salmon, including chinooks (kings), cohos (silvers), pinks and sockeye. This is a popular time for salmon fishing in Vancouver, with generally nice weather and favourable ocean conditions. The fishing we do in the Summer months is usually done locally, along the West Vancouver shoreline or off the mouth of the Fraser River. The Fraser River is home to healthy returns of salmon each Summer. Come August and September the focus is fishing for bigger chinook (king) salmon with generally shorter runs from the boat moorage. This is often when the biggest fish of the year get caught, with the chance at catching a salmon in the 15-25 pound range!.

WINTER & SPRING SEAFOOD SAFARIS

SALMON, CRABS & PRAWNS RIGHT FROM THE CITY!

Winter fishing? You bet, Vancouver enjoys a 365 day a year salmon fishery. Winter months offer fishing for local chinook salmon. Waters team with life during the Winter months, as feeder (juvenile) chinook salmon come into Vancouver harbour and Howe Sound to feed on wintering bait. With variable weather conditions fishing can be sometime tricky, but if you don’t mind a bit of cold then there are ample Vancouver salmon fishing opportunities to be had. Spring months offer some very good fishing in the Howe Sound area, north of Vancouver. This inlet, flanked by snow capped mountains, and dotted with small islands offers a solid rearing ground for chinook salmon that feed on the herring. Winter and Spring are great months for prawns and crabs as well, offered on our full day charters.
