Sooke Salmon Charters: Guided Fishing with Local Expert | Book Now

Welcome to Sooke Salmon Charters! Our team has been providing top-notch guided fishing experiences since 1986, led by local fishing expert Rollie Rose, who has over 50 years of experience in these waters. We specialize in light tackle fishing for trophy Chinook Salmon, ensuring you an unforgettable trip. Our charters are available year-round, giving you the flexibility to choose when your adventure begins.

During your fishing excursion, you'll be aboard a well-maintained and secure West Coast built 25' Seasport boat, which can comfortably accommodate up to 4 guests. This vessel is equipped with a powerful 200 HP Yamaha engine, navigational electronics, a galley, and a private toilet, ensuring a comfortable and convenient experience.

Rest assured, we fully comply with Transport Canada's requirements for our operations and carry adequate liability insurance. Our charter vessels possess boat registration numbers beginning with "C," indicating their commercial status. Our boat is berthed in Sooke Harbour during the summer months, with departures from the local docks. From November to May, we follow the local fish runs between Sooke, Victoria, and Sidney, ensuring the best fishing opportunities.

After your successful catch, we offer complimentary cleaning and bagging of your fish for shipment. Additionally, we provide fish processing services for a reasonable cost, including on-site vacuum packing. Our professional-grade chamber sealer and 4 mil bags ensure maximum storage life in your freezer. Prices listed already include taxes.

If you opt for vacuum packing, please note that the fish will be left with our crew overnight for processing and freezing. We also carry shipping supplies, such as coolers, ice packs, and tape, to facilitate transportation on your flight back home.

All necessary fishing equipment and bait are provided during the charter, as well as coffee, bottled water, and sodas for your refreshment. Fishing licenses can now only be obtained online, so please ensure you purchase and print out your licenses before the day of your fishing trip.

Join Sooke Salmon Charters for an unforgettable salmon fishing experience that you'll cherish for a lifetime.
