Travel to Vancouver Island from
Vancouver is easy and accessible
by car or air travel.  

Port Alberni offers an excellent
launch point for fishing charters
to Bamfield without the terrible
drive along the Bamfield logging
road.  We can run down to
Bamfield in an hour, as opposed
to the hour and a half or more by
logging road.







If you are looking for
accommodation, please let us
work with one of our partners to
line up quality places to stay.


You don't have to cruise around
the west coast of the Island - we
can get you to the West Coast
from the East Coast of the Island.

We work through Schooner Cove
Marina for those folks who want
to cruise up Georgia Straight, and
wish to fish the West Coast.
