Black Tide Adventures
A family-run saltwater fishing charter out of Prince Rupert, BC, praised for its guide's knowledge, a comfortable boat and help processing catch, though one client had a very poor trip.
What visitors say
Black Tide Adventures runs guided ocean fishing trips out of Prince Rupert on the North Pacific. It's a small, family-run operation: one person handles bookings and questions, the other skippers the boat, and most reviewers say the arrangement works very smoothly.
Clients consistently describe fast, thorough communication before the trip and a pre-trip meeting to go over details. On the water the captain gets credit for knowing the spots, changing tactics when the bite is slow, baiting hooks and watching lines, and staying out a little longer to maximise fishing time. Several mention a comfortable, well-equipped boat that felt safe in swells and choppy weather.
Guests report halibut and plenty of salmon, and at the end of the day the catch is cleaned, bagged and packaged for travel. Beginners and families new to ocean fishing felt well looked after, and repeat anglers who have fished Rupert for years rate it the best they've used. Reviewers advise booking early.
The ratings are mostly five stars, but one multi-day client from 2022 had a very different trip: a poor crab haul, a messy boat and a captain they found irritable and harsh with their young grandson, even though they did reach their fish limits. If you're bringing young children, talk through expectations when you book.
