CHARTER RATES

Our charters leave the dock at Westview Marina at 6:00 am and return by 3:00 or 4:00 pm. That being said, our guides are happy to stay out longer if the bite is happening later in the day. The most important part is putting fish on ice. From Tahsis, your guide will take you out to Nootka Sound, Esperanza Inlet, and/or offshore depending on conditions and where they know the fish to be that day.  Your guide will do their best to catch your daily limits of Halibut, Salmon, Lingcod, and more. The cost of the charter includes rods, reels, and all other gear needed to fish. We can accommodate up to 4 guests per boat. 

​

Please come prepared with rain gear and warm layered clothing (the weather on the water can change rapidly), your camera, seasickness medication (we have found the patch behind the ear works best), and a packed lunch with snacks. Feel free to bring drinks on board but please leave any glass bottles onshore. 

• All rates are subject to GST

• A $500/day (plus $50/night's accommodation) non-refundable deposit is required at time of booking to reserve spot. The remaining balance is due at the start of your trip. 

• Trips booked over 6 months in advance may be subject to a fuel surcharge if the local cost of gas increases over 25% from the 2020 season to the 2021 season. We will be able to let you know in May if this surcharge will apply and appreciate your understanding in this unpredictable time. 

• Refunds are only available 6 months before your trip. After 6 months, only any funds paid in excess of your deposit are able to be refunded. 

• We can accept payment by e-transfer, cash, cheque, and credit card. Please note, a processing fee of 2.9% will be added to credit card transactions. 

• Gratuities are always appreciated.

• All guests must have a fishing license with a salmon stamp. They can be purchased at the marina in Tahsis or online before you get here. 

• Unless explicitly agreed upon otherwise, we expect guests to pack their own lunch, snack, and drinks for the boat. We also recommend bringing sunscreen and your camera. Please leave bananas and glass bottles onshore. 

• Guest safety is always our top priority. We ask that you respect our guides, boats, and gear so that we can give you the best experience possible. If the guides believe you are unfit to be on their boat due to intoxication etc. and are jeopardizing the safety of yourself and others they may make the call to bring the boat back to shore. 

We assume that all guests need accommodation during their time in Tahsis. We have our own private cabin (featured in the photo above) complete with 3 bedrooms (4 beds), 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, barbecue, internet, and even Netflix. Located 3 houses down the street from the marina, you can be at the docks in less than five minutes! The nightly rate also includes daily housekeeping.

We have acquired two other houses, both houses are walking distance to the Marina. They are both listed on air bnb. If you bring your own boat and need accommodations. The one house is directly across from the marina entrance. 3 bedrooms 1 bathroom, sleeps 5. The other is just down the street  which is two bedrooms 1 bathroom and sleeps 5 people also 

If you need help organizing other aspects of your trip such as food, drinks, transportation, or other island activities please let us know Whatever it is, we want to ensure your fishing holiday is as fun and successful as possible. 

​

Please note that while there is a small grocery store in town and the marina is fully stocked if you forget anything, we strongly recommend purchasing groceries and anything else you will need for your stay before you leave Cambell River.

We are happy to now work in partnership with Tahsis Fish Processing to help us provide better services to our guests. If you wish, someone from their exceptional team will meet you at the dock and collect your daily catch. They will process, portion, package, and freeze your fish and have it ready for you when you leave town. Please contact us for more details and rates.
