Testimonials

Richard was our captain and guide. He is an extremely knowledgeable fellow who has grown up on the waters around Sooke and knows the habits of fish very well. The day was glorious fairly warm as we started out with an hazy orange sunrise. Herds of deer on the early morning streets. Three seals on the docks as we approached the Rising Tide. Fishing was light. We had a very nice wild coho that we had to turn back, but got a very nice medium size Chinook. We lost one other nice one and caught a tiny chinook which of course we released. We enjoyed talking with Richard and would charter with him in the future. The privilege of being out on the water of the Salish Sea cannot be exaggerated.

I booked with the Rising Tide Coastal Adventures to take my father for his birthday. We had a good tide and trip went amazing with 2 massive salmons and 1 rockfish to take home. Don knows local waters well and took us to all the good spots for a big catch. My father had the most wonderful time in his fishing career when landing his 16lbs salmon. The channel is bustling with life of seabirds like murrelets, guillemots, and animals like seals, and otters for bird/wildlife watchers too. I enjoyed learning about local wildlife from chill and knowledgeable captain & co-captain. We had an absolute blast and hope to do it again in another year!

Our family of 5 (kids 7, 9,10) had the most amazing time on our fishing trip!  Captain Don was awesome and our kids had the absolute best time.  We are on our way to Port Renfrew but found the fishing options there a bit out of our price range and not great for our family of 5.  We decided to book a last minute trip with Rising Tides in Sooke and so happy we did.  Captain Don was super knowledgeable and knew where to look for fish and we got lucky with weather and conditions and caught a ton. He also caught us a huge amount of crabs for us and fed the seals for the kids.  It was the highlight of our trip!!  Super easy to book, super responsive and super fun. Plus- Captain Don loves kids and was super sweet and patient with ours!  I would highly recommend booking a fishing trip with Rising Tide/Captian Don to any family traveling to Victoria/Sooke. It truly is the best!

Unbelievably flat calm waters except where the water looked like it was boiling…. it was coho.
Lots of coho to and in the boat.
We traveled out to a bank for halibut. Seemed not to matter that we lucked out because of the picture perfect day.
Our guide also dropped some crab traps so we went home with some crab too.
Don, our guide, was very professional,  expierenced and a great guy to spend the day on the water with.
The charter company ( Chris) was on the ball communicating with us and keeping us informed.
My son and I were thrilled with our day charter.
Highly recommend!!

My family and I are visiting for a reunion and decided to do a half day fishing charter with Rising Tide Coastal Adventures. Captain Don was amazing and took us to several spots around Sooke. We ended up catching enough crab and rock fish for several dinners! Don told us about the area and taught some of the beginners different fishing methods as we went. We were also blessed with beautiful weather so it was a perfect day - can’t wait to come back and do this again!
