A fishing trip from Vancouver — what to expect
Fishing here means a half day or a full day out of a Vancouver-area marina, on a boat built for it, with a captain who reads the tide and the reports rather than a fixed map.
You can book one seat or several on a shared fishing trip — no need to hire the whole boat — or charter the boat for your own group. Rods, tackle and bait are usually on board; each trip page's What's included says exactly what.
Bring layers, comfortable flat shoes and your BC tidal waters fishing licence — you can buy it online from Fisheries and Oceans Canada in a few minutes.
Almost any day on the water here can be booked by the seat or as a whole boat — and we can arrange food, stays and anything else around it, so you have as little to sort out as possible. If you don't see what you want, ask: a person replies, and we'll find a way.
