Experience the Best Salmon and Halibut Fishing on Vancouver Island | West Coast Ocean Charters

West Coast Ocean Charters offers access to premier Salmon and Halibut fishing locations on the Vancouver Island's west coast. Experience rare encounters with incredible sea and land creatures while enjoying sightseeing. This remarkable area is home to blacktail deer, sea lions, sea otters, blue herons, black bears, wolves, and bald eagles. Captain Brent's expertise ensures an amazing time for all guests on his guided fishing trips.

Located in Ucluelet, BC, the charter benefits from an abundance of squid, herring, and anchovies, creating optimal conditions for the thriving Salmon and bottom fish population. Trolling allows for the catch of Chinook, Coho, Pink, and Sockeye Salmon, while jigging is perfect for Lingcod and Halibut.

The captain's 23' Boston Whaler Conquest, a trusted West Coast design, offers a comfortable ride for everyone on board. Its high gunnel is ideal for offshore trolling or cruising through the islets of Barkley Sound. The boat is fully equipped with navigation, safety gear, and an onboard toilet, accommodating up to 3 guests.

Half-day trips welcome kids of all ages, as you'll remain along the coastline. However, for full-day trips, participants need to be at least 10 years old, as the trips venture up to 20 miles offshore.

The price includes fishing equipment, lures, and bait. If desired, the captain will clean your catch at the end of the trip at no extra cost. Fishing licenses, snacks, and drinks for the day are the responsibility of the guests.

Whether you're after monumental Halibut and Salmon, capturing incredible wildlife photography, or simply embarking on a local aquatic exploration, West Coast Ocean Charters guarantees an unforgettable experience!
