West Coast Ocean Charters
West Coast Ocean Charters have access to some of the best Salmon and Halibut fishing areas on the west coast of Vancouver Island. For guests who enjoy sightseeing, this will also be a great opportunity to get a glimpse of some rare sea and land creatures. This area is the home of blacktail deer, sea lions, sea otters, blue heron, black bears, wolves, and bald eagles. Captain Brent guides fishing trips with expertise and he always makes sure his guests have an amazing time.
Ucluelet, BC, where the charter is based, has an abundance of bait, such as squid, herring, and anchovies, which creates terrific conditions for the Salmon and bottom fish population. You'll be able to catch Chinook, Coho, Pink, and Sockeye Salmon by trolling, or go jigging for Lingcod and Halibut.
A proven West Coast design, the captain's 23' Boston Whaler Conquest provides a comfortable ride for everyone on board. The boat has a high gunnel, which is perfect for offshore trolling or cruising among the islets of Barkley Sound. She's fully equipped with navigation and safety gear, as well as an onboard toilet. The boat accommodates up to 3 guests.
Kids of all ages are welcome on half-day trips since you'll stay along the coastline. For full-day trips, they need to be at least 10 years old, since the trips are longer and you'll go up to 20 miles offshore.
Your fishing equipment, lures, and bait are included in the price. If you want to keep the catch, the captain will clean it after the trip for no extra charge. You only need to purchase your fishing license and bring snacks and drinks for the day.
Whether you've come here to catch huge Halibut, Salmon, snap the perfect wildlife photo, or simply explore the local waters, West Coast Ocean Charters will make sure you have an unforgettable day!

Adrian YuRepeat angler5.0VerifiedWhat a wonderful day!
8 Hour Trip – Halibut / Ground Fish on June 30, 2025 • 2 adultsDespite the less-than-ideal weather, we still managed to land 10 great catches thanks to the captain’s experience and guidance. He really knows his stuff and showed us some excellent fishing techniques throughout the trip. Highly recommend this charter if you’re looking for a knowledgeable and professional crew who can still deliver a great day of fishing in tough conditions!
Patrick QuinnRepeat angler5.0VerifiedTwo, 8 hour days with Captain Brent
8 Hour Trip – Halibut / Ground Fish on June 30, 2023 • 3 adultsCaptain Brent worked very hard to ensure that all three of us caught our limit of salmon. The water was also very rough so he balanced catching salmon with each of us not getting sea-sick so we could still enjoy the day. On the second day Brent selected calmer waters and we still did well catching salmon. Overall a great couple of days on the ocean fishing.
Wylie MclallenRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHalf Day Trip with Captain Brent
6 Hour Trip (AM) on August 29, 2022 • 2 adultsBrent is a very nice fellow whose company was more enjoyable as we came to know him. He gave perfect instructions when we hooked the fish and we caught our limit of Chinook Salmon and then we jigged for Ling Cod and caught two. Captain filleted our catch and told us where to have them frozen and packaged. It was a wonderful experience and I intend to call upon Brent for more fishing in the years to come.

half a day trip with Captain Brent
6 Hour Trip (AM) on August 29, 2023 • 3 adultsWe had a wonderful time from beginning to end with exciting catches of chinook, coho and ling cod. Also, it was particularly enjoyable to watch Captain Brent filet our catch and toss the offal to a waiting seal.
Kym Penner5.0VerifiedGreat way to spend a few hours!
4 Hour Trip – Jigging Bash on May 26, 2023 • 2 adultsBrent was super attentive, he was aware of how we were feeling as the fog rolled in and helped us bring in a few fish. We had a great few hours and would totally recommend Brent to anyone! Thanks again Brent!!
Andriy Bidzilya5.0VerifiedAmazing 6 hour fishing trip with Capitan Brent.
6 Hour Trip (PM) on September 11, 2022 • 3 adultsThe weather was not good for fishing that day, the information from another boats came that the sea was chunky and catch was not the great. Brent had managed to find right spots and used his equipment and brilliant mastery to make our trip a success and total delight. We caught our quota for salmon, few lingcods, and rock fish. 200% recommend to go with Brent.
Maria Maltais5.0VerifiedGreat Day on the water!

Captain Brent was a excellent fishing guide. He new where to go, and how to catch each species we were targeting. Brent gave great instructions on how to use the his gear and catch lots of fish!
A phenomenal day of fishing with Brent. He was honest before we set off about the wind making things rough out in the open ocean and what opportunities might be out of bounds, but despite this we still pulled up a limit of coho and I even got to pull in a chinook, definitely a fish to remember! Unfortunately my sea legs were not under me and Brent was very accommodating finding calmer waters where we could fish and not be so churned up by the water. The gear was high quality, I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking to make their Vancouver Island fishing dreams come true. Thanks Brent!
