Pacific Northwest Fishing Charters

Are you looking for fishing charters that operate out of the Pacific Northwest? You’ve come to the right place! Our fishing charters take place on the salmon rich waters of Northern British Columbia in the town of Prince Rupert. We are the premier live aboard charter fishing vessel out of Prince Rupert. If you have never been up to this area of the world, a lifetime opportunity awaits you to see one of the last pristine wilderness areas on this beautiful planet. View photos of past trips to get an idea of what you can come to expect when you book with us.

Salmon & Halibut Fishing

If you are not aware of the fish you can expect to catch in the Pacific Northwest, you will be fishing for salmon and halibut. We have been patrolling the coastline of the Pacific Northwest for over 25 years and know all of the best spots to catch fish. We are a wealth of information about the best techniques and where the fish are biting.

Did we mention or charters are very unique? How is that? Our boat, the Thunder 1, is a live-aboard boat. This means you fish, sleep and eat on the boat. While lodges can provide a fun experience, we find that our live-aboard vessel provides a more intimate experience as we only accommodate small private groups of 4 to 6 guests. Overnights are spent in peaceful anchorages close to the salmon and halibut fishing grounds so you can have the rods in the water for the early morning bite. Our Pacific Northwest Fishing Charters normally span four to five days.  Doug and Deb Emery are the owners, operators and your hosts and have cruised up and down the coast of British Columbia for years.

 

Your Boat

Accommodation for your crewed charter is aboard Thunder 1, a classic 52′ Wahl Trawler. Wahl boats were a mainstay of the Pacific Northwest fishing fleet for many years. The Thunder 1 is a fine example of a west coast heritage vessel. It’s a great way to experience the beautiful Pacific Northwest.

This boat was built from scratch as a pleasure boat she is fully equipped with the latest in modern electronics and safety equipment along with all the comforts of home. We can accommodate up to 6 guests in two private forward staterooms with separate shower and washroom facilities. Please check out our Vessel page for more information about this unique trawler.

Safety First

Your vessel and crew are Coast Guard Certified. Each year the Thunder 1 undergoes a rigorous safety inspection. She provides a safe, comfortable journey whether our boating travels take us salmon fishing, whale watching or eco-touring.
