    First fish on the ocean

    Half day on March 30, 2025

    I have never been fishing in the ocean before, and this was worth the trip! We were on a very comfortable boat. Will (charter owner) had excellent equipment and was happy to talk and answer any questions I had (I had a lot of them lol). Will is a younger fella and you could not tell! He treated us very well and you could tell as he was preparing the rods and the boat equipment he knew what he was doing and was about safety. You can tell he truly loves what he does. I was skeptical and nervous to grab the rod as we had a fish on but Will was very soft spoken and coached me through the process! The trip did get a little bumpy and Will made sure we were comfortable and gave his best advice on how to steer clear of sea sickness. As far as fishing charters on the island, this isn’t the fanciest endeavour by any means, but the boat was amazing! Very roomy, and had an overhead roof so we didn’t get spashled which was very nice! We ended up getting two really good fish and they tasted great! I would definitely recommend Will and his charter to anyone who’s looking for a fun trip on the water. Very nice guy and knew how to handle the trip. Will definitely be going again! He is worth the trip and the money

    Fantastic Charter

    Half day on August 16, 2025 • 3 adults

    My brother was visiting the island and we had to cancel our annual trip to Bamfield due to a wildfire, so we booked 2 half-days with Captain Will in Nanaimo. He immediately put us on the fish each morning, we caught our limits in Chinook each day with plenty of keeper Coho and even a couple Pinks! Will was very knowledgeable, friendly and keen to make sure we had success, he was not afraid to pivot strategies or locations if we hit a lull in the action. I can’t recommend his services enough if you are in need of a charter in Nanaimo or Port Alberni!

    Full day with captain Will

    Full day on September 21, 2024

    We were up before sunrise and Will met us at the dock. We loaded onto his boat and headed out just as the sun was coming up. Will got us into fish quickly and that's the main thing. He knows from experience where the fish are going to be and there wasn't much time when we didn'thave fish on. We even had a few doubleheaders. Will is easy going and super easy to get along with. He works hard the entire time. If something isn't working, he changes it quickly and the lines are out again. If you need help or advice with fishing, Will is a good coach. If you already know what you are doing he lets you do your thing. I'm not an experienced fisherman so Will's assistance and tips were welcome. We maxed out our limit for the day. It was a great time.

    Amazing & memorable fishing trip!

    Full day on June 25, 2025 • 2 adults

    I booked this trip on behalf of my dad who is an experienced angler. During the trip, captain William was friendly and professional, giving expert advice on various methods from jigging to trolling. We caught 30+ fosh ranging from chinook salmon to coho and even lingcod. My dad had a memorable and wonderful experience which he thoroughly enjoyed. Thank you for making this an amazing experience!!

    Fall Salmon with Captain Will!

    Full day on September 14, 2024

    Been out a number with Captain. Will and he has always delivered. You can tell Will has paid his dues by time on the water and loves what he does. On this fall trip while other boats seemed to be fairly quiet we were consistently hooking up. Will worked hard making sure lines were fishing effectively by checking then regularly and changing things up if things ever did slow. I have been on many charters and will definitely hit the water again with Will. Happy to recommend.

    We were very happy with the trip! Will is very knowledgeable and truly enjoys what he's doing. He's also great with kids! Our 13 year old son loved it. We caught lots of fish, almost our limits, and would definitely come back to go fishing with him again!
