Your captain decides where you fish, what you fish for and which fish you can keep — following the DFO rules in force on the day. Rules change through the season; your captain has the final say.
Your BC tidal waters sport fishing licence — everyone who fishes needs one, by law. Buy it online from Fisheries and Oceans Canada before the day; we can't buy it for you, but we'll help you sort it.

How a custom trip works
- What am I looking at?
- A day that has already been run — a real boat, a real crew, a real route. What you see is what it was, including the price it ran at.
- Is the date fixed?
- No. Pick a day and we check it with the boat and the crew before anything is confirmed. Real boats keep changing plans, so this takes a little time rather than a click.
- Will my price be the same?
- The price shown is the price this day ran at. Yours may differ — season, fuel, crew, how many of you there are. If it changes, we tell you what changed before you pay.
- Can I change the trip itself?
- Any part of it — route, hours, seats, where you board, food, what the day is for. You don't edit it here: you talk it through with us. Tell Yara what you have in mind and we work out a version together, with its own price.
- Who am I talking to?
- Yara. AI, working with the Yahull team.
