The day
This ticket is not tied to a date. Trips run through the season, and ticket holders are invited as spots open — if the timing works, you confirm and join. On the day itself, you cross the Strait to the Nanaimo-area waters and fish. The boat brings you back to its departure dock.
- · Depart from the dock in Richmond or Delta.
- · Cross the Strait to the Nanaimo-area waters.
- · Fish the Nanaimo-area waters. The plan follows the water, since the bite moves with tide and season.
- · The boat brings you back to its departure dock.
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.
Who it suits
This is a full sea fishing day of about 8 hours crossing the Strait to the Nanaimo-area waters, so it suits people ready for a long day on the water. The boat takes up to 12 people. The ticket is not tied to a date; you are invited as spots open each week and join when the timing works, so it suits people who want flexibility on the calendar rather than a fixed booking.
Bring
- · Food and drinks — none are served on board.
- · Money for a tip or gratuity if you wish to give one, as this is not included.

- It can be booked until the last minute.
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.
