Saltwater Charters
Prince Rupert and North Coast saltwater trips for salmon, halibut, crab, and coastal scenery.
Big-water fishing with access to salmon, halibut, bottom fish, crab, and sheltered coastal routes.
Saltwater charters extend the operation beyond the river systems, giving guests another way to experience northern British Columbia fishing and the rugged coast around Prince Rupert.
These trips are best suited for groups looking for a different pace from freshwater steelhead fishing: trolling for salmon, targeting halibut and bottom fish where regulations allow, checking crab opportunities, and travelling through classic North Coast scenery.
Saltwater days are always weather-dependent. The final plan should be based on marine forecast, tides, seasonal openings, and the species you want to prioritize.
- Target species: Chinook, Coho, halibut, lingcod, rockfish, and crab depending on season and regulations.
- Location: Prince Rupert and selected North Coast waters.
- Best fit: groups wanting a coastal fishing day, mixed-species opportunity, or add-on to a freshwater trip.
- Important: final species availability and retention depend on current regulations and openings.
Ask about combining freshwater and saltwater days in the same trip plan. This is often a good way to protect a week from river blowouts or changing water conditions.
