Canadian Craft Charters operates out of Vancouver, providing personalized boat excursions for small groups. Specializing in fishing charters, they take guests to prime spots for salmon, halibut, and other local species. The trips are fully guided by experienced captains who know the best fishing grounds and can tailor the experience to your skill level. In addition to fishing, they offer sightseeing tours that explore the stunning coastline, including views of mountains, forests, and marine wildlife like whales, seals, and eagles. The boats are well-equipped and comfortable, with all necessary gear provided.
