Good to know

How do tuna trips work?

Albacore tuna run offshore in summer. Trips are 10 hours on a private boat and start from $3,000, with all gear, bait and catch cleaning included. Call Scott for this season's dates.

Do I need a fishing licence?

Yes. Every guest needs a BC tidal water fishing licence. It costs less than $10 a day and you can buy it online before your trip. A parent can buy one for guests under 16.

What if the weather is bad?

Safety comes first. If it isn't safe to go out, we move your trip to another date or refund you. We let you know as early as we can.

What should I bring?

Layers, a rain jacket, closed-toe shoes, sunglasses, sunscreen and snacks. We supply all fishing gear and bait, and there's a cooler on board for your food and drinks.

I get seasick. Any tips?

Ask your pharmacist about seasickness aids before the trip. If there's an offshore swell, your guide can often pick calmer fishing grounds.

Can you process my catch?

Your guide cleans your catch. The processor in town can fillet, vacuum-pack, freeze and hold it, and provides airline-approved coolers.
