Discover first-class sport fishing in a saltwater paradise!
Explore the heart of British Columbia's Coastal wilderness aboard the MV Ocean Explorer 1. Operating during the summer months along the famous Inside Passage, from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert, we move between top fishing locales and track the best salmon runs throughout the season. Our on board fleet includes 4 fully rigged fishing skiffs to take you from our anchorage out to the best hot spots around.
Whether you are after trophy Chinook salmon, king-size halibut, Northern Coho, Dungeness crab, Jumbo prawns, lingcod or Red Snapper we will guarantee your catch or your next trip with us is free!
And if your idea of action is a little more relaxing we can do that too. Two double kayaks are at your disposal anytime to explore the bays and inlets surrounding our anchorages. Opportunities will abound to view whales, sea lions, dolphins, eagles and countless sea birds. Take a leisurely soak in the top deck hot tub or unwind in our spacious lounge. Our on board executive chef will make sure you enjoy all the finest the ocean can offer.
Our professional staff and guides can accommodate any level of fisher; from beginner level instructions to expert advice and guidance your sport fishing experience on the Ocean Explorer will be second to none.
If seeing the ocean from underneath is your passion, we also arrange spectacular diving charters to discover the deep sea wonders of coastal British Columbia.
Do you have a question for our lead fishing guide? Chris Carlson has over 25 years sportfishing/guiding experience and has spent the last 10 years on the Ocean Explorer tracking down the best salmon runs off British Columbia’s rugged coastline.
