Riptide Fishing Charters - Victoria's premier fishing company delivers quality year round fishing from the beautiful and scenic Inner Harbour. Our playground ranges from Sidney to Sooke and we do go to the daily hot spots to find the best fishing for our anglers. The Riptide is a 23-foot Bayliner Trophy fully equipped for our West Coast style of fishing. The Riptide will accommodate up to 4 people in comfort and safety on one of our professionally guided fishing charters. We are safety inspected and certified yearly by the Ministry of Transport for Canada and have all the required equipment, which includes VHF radios and global positioning systems. Soft drinks, bottled water, and foul weather gear are supplied, fishing licenses can be purchased on board and washroom facilities are available. Box lunches can be arranged on request. Your catch will be professionally cleaned and packaged, and smoking, canning, vacuum packing and shipping can be arranged. The waters surrounding Victoria boast some of the most magnificent scenery in the world with good to great fishing all year. You may see bald eagles, seals, sea lions, porpoise and killer whales and many varieties of shore and sea birds. An endless parade of freighters, navy vessels, pleasure, and fishing boats is certain to keep the avid mariner busy boat watching. And of course the fishing is the main game. Chinook (King), coho (silver), sockeye, pink and chum salmon all make their way through our waters on the way to their spawning streams and during July, August and September all five species might be caught. In the winter and spring excellent fishing for chinook salmon can be expected. Halibut ranging from 15 to 200 pounds can be found all year and bottom fish are always an added bonus.
