Harbourside Fishing Charters

Bring your crew and fish for days, not hours — salmon and halibut on Barkley Sound with a local skipper.

Full-day and half-day salmon and halibut charters with a local skipper — rods, tackle and bait included. Made for a group of friends on a four-night stay: fish a day, rest a day, fish again.

Guided salmon and halibut charters with a local skipper — full-day or half-day.

What you can book

Good to know

  • What's included: Rods, tackle and bait — everything you need to fish except your licence.
  • Fishing licence: Not included — licences must be bought online before your trip. Fisheries and Oceans Canada sells them on its site, and you can do it from your phone with a credit card.
  • Meeting point: The Woods End Landing dock.
  • Party size: Each charter boat takes up to 4 adults. One child of 15 or younger can usually come along as a fifth person. A bigger party books a second boat.
  • Departure time: Arranged with your charter captain — usually 5:00 a.m. for a full day and 11:00 a.m. for a half day.
  • Weather: The boat goes out in rain and in most storms. If the weather is so bad that the boat cannot go at all — which almost never happens — you usually get a full refund.
