Sooke Salmon Charters
Welcome to Sooke Salmon Charters! They’ve been offering quality guided fishing since 1986, with lifelong local fishing expert Rollie Rose. He’s a local with over 50 years of experience fishing in these waters. Specializing in light tackle fishing for trophy Chinook Salmon, Capt. Rollie will take you on a trip you’ll always remember. The trips are available year round, so you choose when your adventure starts.
You’ll be fishing on a clean and safe, West Coast built boat that accommodates up to 4 guests. This 25’ Seasport comes powered by a 200 HP Yamaha engine, navigational electronics, a galley, and a private toilet.
We are fully compliant with Transport Canada’s requirements for the work we do. We also carry the proper liability insurance. All charter vessels should have a boat registration number displayed beginning with a C which stands for commercial.
During the summer months, the boat is berthed in Sooke Harbour and all trips depart from the docks there. From November to May, you can follow local fish runs between Sooke, Victoria, and Sidney. Rollie will arrange to meet you at the docks in those areas closest to the best fishing at the time.
Fish are cleaned and bagged for shipment free of charge. Fish processing is available for a reasonable cost, including on site vacuum packing. There’s a professional grade chamber sealer and use 4 mil bags for maximum storage life in your freezer. The prices below included taxes.
Vacuum packing requires that the fish be left overnight to be processed and frozen. They also carry shipping supplies to transport on your flight home (coolers, ice pack, tape).
All fishing equipment and bait are included, as well as coffee, bottled water, and sodas. Fishing licenses are now only available online. You can buy your licenses anytime prior to your trip. They must be printed off to paper copies and then brought with you on the day you fish.

Tanja Ramming5.0VerifiedCaptain Rollie is experienced and funny!
Half Day Trip – Salmon (AM) on May 14, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenWe had a great time cruising the waters, taking in the scenery and enjoying the stories. Fishing was slow going at first, but we hit a couple big ones near the end and scores a bucket full of crab- making for a very gourmet camp site dinner that night! Thank you to Captain Rollie for this special family memory and first ocean fishing trip with our boys!!!

3/4 Day Trip – Halibut on July 30, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain Rollie is a professional fisherman. He communicated well, had a well- equipped spotless boat and got us our quota of salmon. He worked nonstop. We would definitely hire Captain Rollie again.
Justin Armstrong5.0VerifiedGreat experience with a very experienced and knowledgeable captain!
Full Day Trip – Salmon on July 20, 2023 • 4 adultsThis was a great family adventure! Rollie’s runs a tight ship! His years of experience and knowledge of the local fishing spots gave us an experience we’ll cherish for life! We all managed to catch and release some huge Chinook salmon, largest estimated to be around 38lb, my sons both caught big fish all above 20lb. We also caught over 30lb Pink and Coho salmon and 8 large Dungeons crabs which went home.
Ashuly Bowen5.0VerifiedHalf a half day.
Half Day Trip – Salmon (PM) on March 30, 2023 • 3 adults • 2 childrenRollie put us over top of fish, we reeled some in, so great. Kids got sick. I decided to call it early. Was a great day! Kids were 100% back at dock (that’s how seasickness rolls) and they really enjoyed seeing seagulls follow the boat, seal at the dock, and a herring in the stomach of our catch. (10 and 4 y/o, that was their review.)
