Saltwater Fishing Charters

Over the past 100 years, anglers have discovered that the waters around Victoria and Vancouver Island are blessed with an abundance and variety of saltwater fish. British Columbia is famous for wild salmon and Vancouver Island is home to all five species of North American salmon. Vancouver Island’s open Pacific shores and inner coastal straits offer miles of angling experiences.

Bring your own boat and tackle, rent from a charter company or stay at a fishing lodge. Whether you arrive at your fishing destination by boat, vehicle or float plane, getting there is half the fun. On the waters around Victoria, the smell of salt air, the beauty of the deep blue ocean and the rugged coast lined with old growth forests are all part of the experience that is saltwater fishing.

Conservation measures and the reduction of commercial fishing in recent years have proven highly beneficial to sport fishing. The Canadian and British Columbia governments are committed to quality sport fishing and ask for your help and respect when fishing our waters. Follow the regulations and limits in order to ensure the continuation of the sport today and in the future.
