A long-running Tofino sportfishing charter with near-perfect reviews, known for offshore salmon and halibut, big tyee chinook, crab and prawns, family-friendly guides and accommodation near the dock.
Cleanline Sportfishing Charters runs fishing trips out of Tofino and has a near-perfect rating across more than a decade of reviews. Guests name several guides over the years and describe them as knowledgeable, generous with their expertise and good company, with plenty of stories about the area and its history.
The fishing reports are impressive. Anglers describe offshore trips with chinook and coho, including a 32 lb tyee, plus halibut, lingcod, rockfish and snapper, and one older review even mentions tuna. Many trips finish with crab, prawns and shrimp. Past guests mention an inn run by the company within walking distance of the boat, and one couple booked a heli-fishing trip for a birthday.
Families feature heavily. Reviewers bring young children and even infants, and say the guides made them feel safe, helped the kids succeed and pointed out wildlife, with one guide tracking down more than 100 sea otters on request. International visitors from as far as Australia praise quick, clear communication before booking.
Complaints are almost nonexistent. The main tip from repeat guests is to book early: one regular books in January to secure a July date. Some of the most detailed reviews are several years old, so confirm current trip options and accommodation when you book.
