What visitors say
KingSize Adventures runs private fishing charters from the Oak Bay side of Victoria, and nearly every review centres on the captain. Guests describe him as experienced, friendly and quick to get lines in the water, with a good read on where the fish are holding that day.
The boat gets its own share of praise. Several reviewers mention a clean, well-kept 33-foot Grady-White that handles wind and chop well, so windy days feel less rough than you might expect. Snacks and drinks are on board, there's a clean washroom, and one family noted helpful emails and texts in the lead-up to their trip.
Most trips target salmon, lingcod and rockfish, and reviewers also report halibut and crab on some outings, plus sightings of orcas and sea lions. It suits families and first-timers well: parents with young kids, three generations fishing together and complete beginners all say they were walked through every step. Cruise passengers have also made it work with a short cab ride from the terminal.
Reviews are close to unanimous, with 48 of 50 at five stars. One older review mentions a mix-up over the booking time, which was sorted out with a discount. Confirming your departure time and marina in writing before the day is a simple way to avoid the same.
