He's a funny guy who chatted with us while we were out as well as being attentive to what the group wanted to do and made sure we all had a lot of fun! We caught a lot of fish and he even cuts, guts, cleans, and bags them up for you so that your catches are ready to just cook and eat! 5/5 would do again. Thank you Bonnie Lee Fishing Charters for making our first time going out on a boat and fishing such a wonderful and memorable experience!

I booked a charter for winter fishing on November 23, 2017 and had an awesome time with Kevin!…read more Kevin successfully guided my two boys (8 and 10-years old) and I to 3 delicious chinook salmon, 10 dozen spot prawns and over a dozen crabs in about 7.5 hours on the water. Kevin is dialed into where the fish, prawns, and crab are located and provided key knowledge on where to set traps, how to get bit and the proper way to fight and land the fish. My boys and I have spent countless hours on the water bass fishing so we know how this fishing game is played. We went knowing that there is always a good chance that you may not catch anything. Ive learned after this experience, that Kevin has the knowledge to increase your chances of success. From the beginning of our trip, Kevin was confident that we were going to catch fish. Even after a slow start, Kevin stated that we were going to catch fish and we would stay as long as it takes to do so. We ultimately caught 3 nice salmon and the shrimp and crab pots were full! Kevin was great with kids and got them involved in setting and picking up our filled traps. He cleaned and filleted our fish, cleaned the crab and shrimp which made an awesome Thanksgiving feast. I highly recommend Kevin as a salmon fishing guide and thank him for a trip that my sons and I will never forget.

Great charter company. We've been out with them three times on their large boat in the past year…read moreand have a blast every time. We love crab and spot prawns so we've been out in the winter with great success. The service offered by these guys is top notch! Last winter we picked a day in February to go out, it was cold but sun was out and it ended up being a terrific day. Andrew and Preston boiled the fresh caught dungeness crab on the boat and we ate it while trolling for salmon. What could be better? I had my bachelorette party on this boat and was thrilled to bits when we landed a big Chinook! Made my day! We'll be booking again in the new year!

We had the best time! Captain knows everything, literally. And he is an amazing teacher. Even in the most hectic times he can turn it into a teaching moment while staying the calm cool and collected guy he is. Such cool guys, we didnt even need to catch fish to have fun. Fortunately we caught 3 legal Salmon and a couple more that we had to let back on top of a few full crab pots! Amazing experience all around. I would never come to Vancouver again and not reach out to Ocean Adventure centers. From Taylor who handles the bookings, to Chris to Captain, this is a first class organization. Thank you so much for the best time!

Cory was a great captain, extremely personable and fun to fish with. The weather was perfect, the price was super reasonable, and most importantly, the fishing was top tier.

To top off the great day of lingcod and salmon, we did some crabbing and ended up with more crab than we could handle.

This place is great!…read more My husband and I found this place by total accident via google. If we had realized its location before we paid for a rental we likely probably would have been deterred from using this place BUT I am so glad we were not deterred. We rented a kayak from here to do a self-guided tour of the Pasley Islands. It was an awesome trip. The kayak and equipment were nice and well kept and we were provided a map for our self-guided tour. We rented a double kayak for 8 hours and had it for about 7 hours. We stopped a few really quiet coves for a couple swims and lunch for a couple hours as well. Because you are starting on the sunshine coast you are away from lots of boat traffic and have really good views of the mountains and islands. You also avoid looking at the city. There was tons of sea life as well. The purple star fish is still thriving here, they were sea otters everywhere, and we paddled right past a mated pair of bald eagles. This was seriously a really good day trip from the city and a perfect cap to our Olympic Park & Vancouver vacation. I would suggest this not only for any visitor to Vancouver but also just a really good day trip or overnight trip for a local. It is important for planning to know that you need to take a ferry from West Vancouver to Langdale to get to the harbor and the Sunshine Coast; HOWEVER, this was totally worth it and I highly recommend it for multiple reasons. We parked our car at Horseshoe Bay, walked onto the ferry and took the bus from the ferry to the harbor. It was super easy and the bus from the ferry in Langdale to the harbor took 5 minutes and was super easy to navigate. You could also bring your car onto the island and do some driving on the sunshine coast as there is a ton to see but since we weren't staying overnight we went for the economic option. Round trip ferry fare was about $16 each ($13 USD at the time) The ferry ride took 40 minutes and the views are insane. Honestly this is more like a 40 minute sightseeing tour. The scenery was beautiful. I point out all this information because I think some people would see the ferry and this places location as a deterrent, and it should be a reason to go not a deterrent. Gibsons is quiet, has great restaurants at far less cost then Vancouver. The only reason I didn't do 5 stars was because we did feel a bit rushed at the dock, but I think this was more due to the fact that we showed up 30 minutes early and the owner was kind enough to put us in the water right away even though by being early we overlapped with two other reservations. Another improvement that could be made for the shop would be to explain the private property high water line rule, since we weren't from B.C. we didn't know the rules. It took my husband and I a while to understand that we could stop on the islands as long as we were below the high-water line and not on top of the houses. We kept avoiding spots because we could see a "Private Property" signs and when we finally got close enough to read the small print we realized that we could infact stop at these spots as long as we stayed below the high water line, which is easy enough.

My son fell in love with fishing on this trip up to Vancouver. We were so lucky that we found Josh…read morewho took us out on the trip today. Josh may seem too young to be so knowledgeable but he sure was an expert when it comes to fishing!! He was so professional and knew just the right thing to do to find those salmons for us!! Josh was very professional and lots of fun to hangout with. He was also very patient with my son and my little daughter. They have enjoyed chatting with him and super impressed with his fishing skills. Definitely made today my son's "most memorable" highlight of this entire trip!!! We met our fishing quota fairly soon and also brought home very yummy crabs!! Josh also cleaned our fish for us so we could take it home easily. The boat was very comfortable and scenery was breathtaking. Highly recommend Pacific Angler and will sure use them again when we come back next time!!

Fantastic experience!…read more We were taken out onto the water with Josh. Don't let his young age fool you, Josh was absolutely awesome during our whole charter! He was so informative, explained every aspect from the rig, all the parts, what they do, information about the salmon and the boat, anything you could ask for! As if he has been doing this for 20 years! What a pro The water and the views on the charter were also magical! It looks unreal! We were able to catch a good amount of coho salmon, but did not keep any of it (since we're visiting and didn't want the hassle), but if we did, we would have food for weeks! We were able to interact with some of the seals on the pier when we got back too! Highly recommend!
